Custom API Development
Services
Cut time-to-market and development costs with our API development services. MindK builds custom APIs using REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC protocols.
Leading API development experts
Since 2009, MindK has been building scalable backends and connecting enterprise systems with the help of APIs.
Faster development speed, lower costs
With the API-first approach, our developers need less effort to reuse components and upgrade apps.
Better scalability
Build modular applications with decoupled architectures. MindK uses load balancing, API gateways, containers, and autoscaling to handle varying loads.
High availability and fault-tolerance
Well-designed APIs help us build resilient systems that distribute requests across multiple instances. We ensure there's no single point of failure with health checks, circuit breakers, and data replication.
Easier security and compliance
MindK developers use secure API frameworks, code inspection tools, and dedicated security layers. Our DevSecOps services include infrastructure & policy as code, compliance checks in CI/CD pipelines, API secrets management, and robust incident plans.

USA Smooth
communication flow«Our project has been going smoother than I could have imagined... It's the first time I've worked with a dev team a distance away that didn't have major (or any, for that matter) hiccups or have things lost in communication. I wish we could snatch them and make them a part of our team.»

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the 4 types of API?
Depending on the availability to users, there are four types of Application Programming Interfaces:
Public APIs are available to external developers with authentication or permission keys in place to track usage.
Internal or private APIs restrict access for developers outside the company that owns the API.
Partner APIs are available to specific companies. They use strong authorization, authentication, and security policies.
Composite APIs allow engineers to bundle requests to several different APIs. This cuts down the total number of interfaces.
You can also group APIs depending on the protocols used, including REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, and more. You can learn more in our detailed article on APIs.
- How much does it cost to develop an API?
API development costs vary from $10,000 to $50,000. Such a wide range is explained by multiple factors that affect the costs. They include the project complexity, API type, quantity of endpoints, technologies and protocols used, and non-functional requirements like security. You can share the project details with MindK to get a more precise quote.
- How long will it take to build my API?
API development time varies based on many factors. They include the number of endpoints, integrations, team experience, and non-functional requirements. For large, complex APIs, the entire process takes anywhere from 6 months to over a year. We can accelerate this timeline with Agile methodologies and modern API development frameworks.
- What engagement models do you offer as an API development company?
Our engagement models include fixed-price contracts for projects with well-defined requirements. We also offer time and material billing for projects where requirements tend to change over time.
- How do you ensure that my API is secure?
MindK follows the latest best practices for API security. Using Amazon Web Services (AWS) gives us access to a lot of helpful services for Web Application Firewalls (WAF), application & infrastructure access control, system monitoring & alerting, and more. We use the platform’s recommended architecture, as well as encrypt the data in transit and at rest if necessary.
- What factors should I consider when choosing an API development company?
Before you hire an API developer, consider factors such as the provider’s expertise, experience, and track record. Also, assess their ability to work with your existing systems and provide ongoing support and maintenance.
- How do I integrate an API into my existing applications?
The integration process will depend on the specific API and applications you are working with. Typically, you’ll need to get an API key or access token, which allows your application to authenticate and communicate with the API. You then need to write code into your application that uses the API to access data or functionality.
