We build custom APIs that power your product. Get a fixed-price quote in 2 weeks.
IRPR designs and builds custom APIs using REST, GraphQL, and gRPC protocols. We handle authentication with OAuth 2.0, rate limiting with Redis, and auto-generate documentation with Swagger and OpenAPI.
Every API project ships with source code in your repo, a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions, and Postman collections. Timeline is 12-16 weeks for complex integrations. Pricing ranges from $100,000 to $350,000. We meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance.
Startup CTOs needing a scalable API for their SaaS platform. Enterprise architects integrating legacy systems with modern microservices. Product managers launching a new data product that requires a secure API layer. Series A founders building an API-first platform.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
Build RESTful APIs with JSON and OAuth 2.0. We use Express.js or FastAPI for high throughput and easy maintenance.
GraphQL API Development
Create flexible GraphQL endpoints with Apollo Server. Clients query exactly what they need, reducing over-fetching.
gRPC API Development
High-performance gRPC APIs using Protocol Buffers. Ideal for microservices communication and low-latency systems.
Webhook Integration
Real-time event-driven webhooks with retry logic. We use Kafka or RabbitMQ for reliable delivery.
API Gateway Setup
Centralized API gateway with Kong or AWS API Gateway. Rate limiting, caching, and auth in one place.
API Security Audit
Penetration testing and OWASP Top 10 checks. We harden endpoints against injection, broken auth, and data exposure.
API Documentation
Interactive docs with Swagger UI and Postman collections. Auto-generated from code so they never go stale.
API Monetization
Stripe integration for usage-based billing. Metered API keys and subscription tiers with real-time analytics.
We build for every business type.

Why premium custom API development matters
Custom APIs are the backbone of modern software products.
Off-the-shelf APIs rarely fit your exact business logic. A custom API built by experienced consultants ensures your data flows securely and quickly between systems. IRPR has shipped over 200 APIs across 50 countries, each tailored to the client's specific requirements.
Our APIs handle authentication, rate limiting, and monitoring out of the box. We use Redis for caching, Datadog for observability, and Sentry for error tracking. Every API is load-tested with k6 before deployment.
The difference between generic and premium API consulting
Not all API consultants deliver production-ready code.
Generic agencies often reuse boilerplate code and lack deep expertise in security and compliance. They may deliver an API that works in demo but fails under load or fails security audits.
IRPR assigns senior engineers with 10+ years of experience. We write every API from scratch, optimized for your use case, and include load testing, security hardening, and full documentation.

Our API development process
We follow a 4-phase process to deliver production-ready APIs.
Each phase has clear deliverables and checkpoints. We use weekly demos and daily standups to keep you informed. The process is designed to eliminate surprises and ensure on-time delivery.
From requirements to deployment, we document every decision. Our APIs include auto-generated OpenAPI specs and Postman collections so your team can start integrating immediately.
What you get with every API project
Every deliverable is concrete and yours.
We don't just hand over code. You get a complete production-ready system with monitoring, documentation, and deployment scripts.
