API Development

Fast, Documented, Production-Ready APIs

APIs are how modern software talks. Whether you need a backend for your app, an integration between two systems that don’t natively connect, or a product API your customers can use, I build clean, fast, documented REST APIs in Python and FastAPI — for clients in the US, India, and worldwide.

What I deliver

  • Backends for web and mobile apps — authentication, database design, business logic, deployment
  • Integration APIs — bridge your internal systems, legacy software, or third-party services
  • Data APIs — expose your datasets (including scraped data) as a product customers can subscribe to
  • API rescue work — fix, document, and stabilize APIs that were built quickly and now cause problems

Every API I ship includes

  • Automatic interactive documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI) your team can actually use
  • Authentication and rate limiting appropriate to your use case
  • Test coverage on the endpoints that matter
  • Deployment to your infrastructure (VPS, AWS, Railway and similar) with monitoring

Why FastAPI?

It’s one of the fastest Python frameworks, with built-in validation and self-generating docs — which means fewer bugs and less time explaining endpoints to whoever integrates with them. I wrote a full comparison here: FastAPI vs Flask vs Django.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a custom API cost?

Focused integration APIs typically start around $500–$1,500. Full application backends start from $2,000 depending on scope. You’ll get a fixed quote after a free scoping call.

How long does a custom API take?

A focused integration API: 1–2 weeks. A full application backend: 4–8 weeks depending on scope.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes — I’ll review it first (free) and give you an honest assessment before quoting.

Do you handle hosting and deployment?

Yes, end to end — including CI/CD, SSL, and monitoring, on infrastructure you own.

What about GraphQL or webhooks?

Both supported where they fit the use case.
