Affordable API Development ConsultantsAPI Development
Build production-grade APIs at a fixed price. 8-12 week delivery with full ownership of the code.
IRPR builds affordable APIs for startups and enterprises. We use Node.js, Go, Python, and Postgres to deliver REST, GraphQL, and gRPC endpoints that scale.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80,000 and $250,000. Compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 is included.
Buyers include CTOs who need a secure API layer, product managers launching an MVP with payment integrations, and founders building data pipelines for machine learning.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build RESTful APIs with OpenAPI specs using Node.js or Python. Auto-generate docs with Swagger and validate requests with JSON Schema.
GraphQL API Development
GraphQL APIs with Apollo or Relay. Single endpoint for complex queries, reducing over-fetching and enabling real-time subscriptions.
gRPC API Development
High-performance gRPC APIs using Protocol Buffers. Ideal for microservices communication with low latency and strong typing.
Webhook System Design
Reliable webhook delivery with retry logic and idempotency. Integrate with Stripe, SendGrid, or Slack to trigger events.
Third-Party API Integration
Connect to Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, or Stripe using pre-built connectors. Handle rate limits, authentication, and data mapping.
API Gateway
Deploy AWS API Gateway or Kong for rate limiting, caching, and authentication. Centralize API management for microservices.
Real-Time API (WebSocket)
Build real-time APIs with Socket.io or AWS AppSync. Support live dashboards, chat, and collaborative editing.
Data API for Analytics
Expose analytics data via REST or GraphQL. Use MongoDB or ClickHouse for aggregation and caching with Redis.
We build for every business type.
SaaS and platforms
Ecommerce and retail
Healthcare and fintech
Media and content
IoT and logistics
API development costs that fit your budget
IRPR ships affordable API projects on time and on budget.
Our fixed-price model means you know the cost before code is written. We deliver production-grade APIs with full documentation, CI/CD, and monitoring.
With over 200 products shipped across 50+ countries, we have the process to deliver quality APIs at a fraction of agency rates.
Why affordable API consultants choose IRPR
Generic dev shops overpromise and underdeliver. IRPR works differently.
Many API consulting firms charge hourly and push scope creep. You end up paying more for less.
IRPR works on a fixed price with a clear scope defined in the Roadmap phase. You get exactly what you need without surprises.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Vague timelines and delays
- No ownership of the code
- Minimal documentation
- Bare bones testing
- No post-launch support
- Fixed price from $80K
- 8-12 week delivery guarantee
- Full code ownership
- OpenAPI specs and Postman collections
- Automated tests in CI/CD
- Sentry monitoring and 99.9% SLA
How we deliver affordable APIs in 4 phases
Our process moves from idea to release with clear milestones.
We start with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define the API contract, tech stack, and timeline. Then we build iteratively.
Each phase ends with a demo and sign-off. You see working code every sprint.
What ships with every affordable API project
Our deliverables go beyond code.
Every project includes production-ready infrastructure and tools you need to maintain the API yourself.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- OpenAPI specification (Swagger) with interactive docs
- Postman collection for testing
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions or CircleCI
- Automated unit and integration tests (90%+ coverage)
- Sentry error tracking
- Cloud deployment on AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Docker Compose for local development
- Rate limiting and authentication (OAuth 2.0 or JWT)
What we ship in this practice.
REST API for a fintech starter
Built a REST API for a payment processing platform using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Stripe. Reduced transaction processing time by 40% and passed PCI-DSS audit on first attempt.
GraphQL API for a real estate portal
Created a GraphQL API with Apollo Server to serve property listings. Combined MLS data from multiple sources, cutting query times from 800ms to 120ms.
Webhook system for a SaaS platform
Designed a reliable webhook delivery system using Node.js and Redis. Achieved 99.99% delivery rate and integrated with Slack, Stripe, and HubSpot.
gRPC API for IoT device management
Implemented gRPC microservices using Go and Protocol Buffers. Handled 10,000 concurrent devices with 5ms latency for telemetry data.
Data API for an analytics dashboard
Built a data API with ClickHouse and REST endpoints to power real-time dashboards. Reduced dashboard load time from 6 seconds to 0.3 seconds.
Third-party API integration for an ecommerce platform
Integrated QuickBooks and ShipStation APIs for an ecommerce store. Automated order-to-invoice flow, saving the client 20 hours of manual work per week.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every API project gets a fixed quote after a 2-week Roadmap phase. No hourly billing means no surprises. Typical projects range from $80K to $250K.
8-12 week delivery
We ship production-ready APIs in 8 to 12 weeks. Our process is tuned for speed without cutting corners. 98% of our projects finish on time.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code. We put the source in your GitHub repo from day one. No licensing fees, no lock-in, no recurring payments.
Compliance built in
Our API development follows HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards. We include encryption, audit logs, and access controls by default.
Senior engineers only
Our team consists of senior engineers with 7+ years of experience. No junior devs, no offshoring. Each project gets a dedicated lead architect.
Post-launch support
We provide 30 days of free support after launch. We also offer ongoing maintenance at a fixed monthly rate for monitoring, patches, and minor changes.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
