Most API Development engagements take 6-12 weeks, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
API Development projects with us typically range from $15,000 - $90,000, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
For api development, we typically work with Node.js, Python, FastAPI, GraphQL, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.
A typical api development engagement includes restful or graphql api design, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for api development because of undocumented apis slowing partner integrations, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple energy & utilities projects addressing challenges like aging grid infrastructure limiting modernization. We helped a utility provider cut outage response time by 35% with a real-time grid monitoring dashboard.
For energy & utilities clients, we pay close attention to FERC regulations (US), EU energy market regulations, building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for energy & utilities clients include aging grid infrastructure limiting modernization and real-time demand response system complexity. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
