We create custom APIs to improve the existing software, making it easier to share data in real time and automate workflows. If you're looking for custom application development companies to handle your API development and integration tasks, consider hiring a dedicated development team of experienced API specialists from Belitsoft.
API consulting
If API-related decisions stretch your internal resources to their limits, invest in our API integration and development consultants to help you make the right technical decisions and meet your expectations. Our technology experts, known for their commitment to excellence, include API strategists, enterprise architects, cloud developers, and API modernization specialists. Before creating APIs for client-facing or server-side apps using open-source or proprietary tools, they conduct business analysis, technology assessment, API strategy, and design. As the owner of the resulting products, you will understand what’s going on at every stage of the project. We help your product meet strict regulatory or security requirements and maintain compliance.
Mobile API development
We create APIs to extend the functionality of your mobile apps, enabling payments, appointments, geolocation, and more. Get integration of data from multiple sources (servers, databases, GPS, or messaging systems) right into your mobile app. To make APIs lightweight, we use compact data formats like JSON, reduce the number of requests by batching them, compress API replies, avoid pointless data transformations, and cache API answers in the mobile device’s memory. We secure your APIs and protect sensitive data with HTTPS, token-based authentication, input validation, rate limiting, and access control.
Web API development
We develop or integrate web APIs to share data with remote third-party web apps through the HTTPS protocol over the internet. The REST architecture is used to retrieve, post, update, and delete data. The API platform provides an access token to receive requests, and the app parses the responses to extract the data you need. Users will access payment gateways, social media, email, geolocation, sports, weather, video streaming, cryptocurrency platforms, or whatever you wish. The latest real-time, up-to-date information from various sources is displayed on their app.

Frequently Asked Questions
API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of certain protocols, specific standards, and tools, which are used by a programmer to integrate different applications. APIs enable access to another app or platform. Due to APIs, applications can interact with each other. Use of API not just simplifies programming, but it also enhances user experience, increasing the popularity of your application and facilitating user’s control over different applications. Today, all advanced applications are being improved by specialized APIs.
There are different types of APIs. They vary depending on what programming language is used – procedural, object-oriented etc.: for applications (Google Maps API, Facebook API, Twitter APIs, LinkedIn API); for a web-based system or a website (Amazon, eBay); for operating systems (POSIX is for Linux and Berkeley Software Distribution, Microsoft Windows API); for a database system; for computer hardware; for a software library.
Also, there three main policies for releasing APIs: private (for internal use), partner (for business partnerships), and public (for public use).
As for API’s design, it aims at providing only those tools, which end users expect. The principle of information hiding is used here not to bother users with unnecessary for them complex implementation details.
Each API goes with documentation where all the information on what the services API offers and how to use them is given. API documentation is also necessary for developers because it includes the description of classes and methods, typical usage scenarios, code snippets etc.
Integration with third-party apps, which provide real-time functionality or manage computations, without needing to write your own complex algorithms (this is true for e-commerce, finance and other industries).
Empower your lead generation or CRM apps with social insights (by matching email addresses against social media profiles).
Integration web/mobile apps with a cloud storage of files.
Integration mobile apps with a remote backend to push files and retrieve data.
