Hire a REST API Development TeamDevelopment Team
We build REST APIs that power your product. 200+ projects shipped, fixed pricing, 12 week delivery.
IRPR builds production-ready REST APIs for startups and enterprises. We use Node.js, Python, Go, and frameworks like Express and FastAPI to create scalable, secure backends.
Every REST API ships with a full OpenAPI 3.0 spec, Postman collection, CI/CD pipeline, Docker container, and cloud deployment config (AWS or GCP). Timeline is 8 to 12 weeks. Pricing ranges from $60,000 to $250,000. Compliance includes HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA.
Our clients are CTOs scaling their backend infrastructure, startup founders launching an MVP with a customer-facing API, product managers migrating from legacy monolithic systems, and engineering leads building third-party integrations for SaaS platforms.
Types of software we ship.
Public REST API
Publish an external API for third-party developers. Includes rate limiting, authentication, and Swagger documentation.
Internal Microservice API
Build a private API for service-to-service communication. Uses OpenAPI contracts and event-driven patterns with Kafka or RabbitMQ.
Mobile App Backend API
Create a backend API for iOS and Android apps. Optimized for low latency and offline support with JSON:API or GraphQL.
GraphQL API
Replace multiple REST endpoints with a flexible GraphQL layer using Apollo Server or Yoga. Reduces over-fetching and speeds up frontend development.
Real-time WebSocket API
Add real-time features with WebSocket or Server-Sent Events. Used for chat, live dashboards, and collaborative editing.
Webhook System
Implement webhooks for event-driven integrations. Includes signature verification, retry logic, and delivery logging with SendGrid or Stripe.
API Gateway
Design a unified gateway for routing, authentication, rate limiting, and logging. Powered by Kong, Envoy, or AWS API Gateway.
Third-party API Integration
Wrap external APIs (Salesforce, Stripe, Shopify) into a clean internal REST interface. Handles authentication, caching, and error mapping.
We build for every business type.

REST API Development by the Numbers
Our track record proves we deliver reliable, performant APIs at scale.
IRPR has built over 200 REST APIs across 50 countries. Our average delivery time is 12 weeks from spec to production. Starting cost for a standard REST API is $80,000.
We maintain 99.9% uptime across all managed APIs. Our CI/CD pipelines run 200+ automated tests per release. Every API includes rate limiting, authentication, and monitoring from day one.
How IRPR Builds REST APIs Differently
Most teams skip the fundamentals. We build APIs that last.
Generic development shops often deliver APIs without proper versioning, documentation, or monitoring. They use vague hourly billing and hand off code with no testing or CI/CD.
IRPR starts with an OpenAPI 3.0 contract, builds automated tests, and deploys with Docker and Kubernetes. You get full documentation, rate limiting, authentication, and monitoring as standard.
- No API versioning strategy
- Sparse or missing documentation
- No rate limiting or throttling
- Manual testing only
- Monolithic codebase
- No monitoring or alerting
- OpenAPI 3.0 spec from day one
- Automated CI/CD with 200+ tests
- Rate limiting and auth built in
- Horizontal scaling with Docker/Kubernetes
- Detailed Swagger documentation portal
- 24/7 monitoring with Sentry and PagerDuty
Our REST API Development Process
Four phases from idea to production. Clear milestones, no surprises.
We follow a structured process that ensures your API is well-designed, thoroughly tested, and fully documented. Each phase has defined deliverables and a fixed price.
The average project takes 8-12 weeks from kickoff to deployment. We work in two-week sprints with weekly demos so you can see progress in real time.
What Ships with Your REST API
You get everything needed to run, maintain, and extend your API.
Every project includes a complete set of artifacts beyond just source code. We believe in handing over a fully operational system, not a half-finished skeleton.
Our delivery package covers code, infrastructure, documentation, and monitoring. You can hand it to your own engineering team or we can continue to manage it.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repo
- OpenAPI 3.0 specification (YAML/JSON)
- Postman collection with all endpoints
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions (build, test, deploy)
- Docker image with Dockerfile and docker-compose
- API documentation portal built with Swagger UI
- Rate limiting and authentication middleware
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Cloud deployment config for AWS or GCP
- Load testing report with k6 or Artillery
What we ship in this practice.
Ecommerce Inventory Sync API
Built a REST API to sync inventory across 3 warehouses and 14 sales channels. Reduced data reconciliation time from 6 hours per week to 90 seconds. Tech stack: Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Redis.
Healthcare Patient Portal API

Fintech Payment Processing API
Created a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment gateway processing 10,000 transactions per second. Reduced integration time for merchants by 60%. Tech stack: Go, Gin, PostgreSQL, Kafka.
SaaS Multi-Tenant API Gateway
Designed a unified REST API gateway for a B2B SaaS platform with tiered rate limiting and per-tenant authentication. Supported 500+ tenant organizations from day one. Tech stack: Node.js, Kong, Redis, MongoDB.
Real Estate Listing API
Built a REST API aggregating MLS data from 8 different sources into a standardized JSON format. Cached results with Redis to serve 10 million requests per month under 200ms latency. Tech stack: Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, Memcached.
Media Content Delivery API
Developed a high-performance REST API for serving video metadata and user uploads. Handled 1 million concurrent users during a live event with zero downtime. Tech stack: Go, Fiber, S3, CloudFront, DynamoDB.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed Price, No Surprises
Every REST API project gets a fixed quote during the Roadmap phase (week 2). We never bill by the hour. The price you see is the price you pay, including any change orders scoped in writing.
OpenAPI-First Design
We write the API contract before any code. You approve the OpenAPI 3.0 spec, which includes all endpoints, request/response models, and error codes. This removes ambiguity and ensures the team builds exactly what you need.
Senior Engineers Only
Our team consists of senior backend engineers with an average of 10+ years experience. You get a lead architect plus 2-3 senior developers, not junior contractors. No on-the-job training.
12-Week Delivery Guarantee
We guarantee delivery of a production-ready REST API within 12 weeks or less. 98% of our projects finish on time. If we miss the deadline, you get 10% off the final invoice.
Full Code Ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and deployment configs from day one. There is no proprietary code or hidden license. We transfer everything to your GitHub or GitLab repository upon completion.
Post-Launch Support
After deployment, we provide 30 days of free support for bug fixes and minor adjustments. We also offer ongoing maintenance contracts with 24/7 monitoring and 4-hour SLA for critical issues.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
