What is API integration?

API integration connects software applications via their Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to automatically exchange data and functionality, creating a unified system.

How long does a typical API integration project take?

Timelines vary based on complexity, the number of systems involved, and customisation needs. A simple third-party connection might take weeks, while a custom, multi-system enterprise integration could take several months. We provide a detailed timeline after a discovery workshop.

Do you offer ongoing support and management for integrations?

Yes. Through our ArekiboCare managed service, we provide ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and support to ensure your integrations remain secure, performant, and up to date.

Can you help integrate our legacy or on-premise systems?

Absolutely. A key part of our expertise is designing integration strategies that incorporate legacy systems, often using middleware or custom API layers to bridge old and new technologies without costly rework.

What types of APIs do you support?

We support a wide range of APIs, including REST, GraphQL, Webhooks, Streaming APIs, and custom-built middleware APIs. Our approach is tailored to your architecture and business needs, ensuring optimal integration performance.

How secure is API integration?

Security is a core pillar of our integration strategy. We implement industry-standard protocols, including OAuth 2.0, JWT, and OpenID Connect, along with encryption and secure authentication to protect your data and ensure compliance with global standards.

How do you price API integration services?

Pricing varies based on the complexity, number of systems, type of APIs involved, and whether ongoing support is required. We offer scoping through a discovery workshop to provide accurate, project-based or retainer pricing models.

Our API toolset encompasses the full range of interfaces for integration, data exchange, security, and system operations across the platform.

• REST APIs - Enabling stateless, resource-oriented communication using standard HTTP methods.
• GraphQL APIs - Provide flexible, query-based data fetching for nested and complex structures.
• Webhooks - Triggering event-driven updates to notify systems in real-time.
• JSON-RPC/XML-RPC - Facilitating lightweight remote procedure calls with JSON or XML.
• Streaming APIs - Delivering continuous, real-time data using WebSocket or HTTP streaming.
• Batch APIs - Combining multiple requests into a single call to optimise performance.
• Middleware APIs - Orchestrating and mediating data flow between disparate systems.
• Authentication APIs - Securing access control via OAuth, JWT, or OpenID Connect.
• Headless CMS APIs - Serving content decoupled from the presentation layer for flexibility.
• Search APIs - Powering full-text search and advanced filtering for enterprise-grade results.
• Payment APIs - Enabling secure and seamless payment processing integrations.
• Third-Party Integration APIs - Connecting external tools like analytics or social media.
• Data Aggregation APIs - Aggregating data from multiple sources into a unified format.
• Edge Computing APIs - Optimising content delivery and customisation at the edge.
• PWA APIs - Enable offline capabilities and push notifications for native-like apps.
• Admin Panel APIs - Providing backend tools for content, user, and settings management.
• Monitoring APIs - Tracking performance and errors for site health and reliability.

REST API - A type of API based on representational state transfer principles, commonly used for web services. It's stateless and operates over HTTP.

GraphQL API - An API query language allowing clients to request specific data structures, often used for flexibility in modern front-end applications.

Webhooks - A way for apps to send real-time data to other services when specific events occur, using HTTP callbacks.

Streaming API - A type of API that enables real-time data flow over a persistent connection, useful for continuous event updates.

Middleware - Software that connects different applications, APIs, or data sources to enable communication and orchestration.

OAuth - An open-standard authorisation protocol allowing applications to access user data without exposing credentials.

JWT (JSON Web Token) - A compact, URL-safe token format used for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.
