What we build

API services we build for Perth businesses

Five categories of API and integration work, one Perth team building all of them. Each category has been delivered for real Perth SMBs and is available as a fixed-price scope.

Custom REST API development

We build RESTful APIs in Laravel, Node.js, .NET and Python. Clean resource-based endpoints, proper HTTP methods, consistent error responses, pagination, filtering and sorting.

Your mobile apps, React frontends, partner systems and internal tools all consume the same API. One backend, many consumers.

Authentication with JWT, API keys or OAuth 2.0. Rate limiting, input validation, CORS. OpenAPI/Swagger documentation included.

Third-party system integration

Connecting your business systems so data flows automatically. CRM to accounting. E-commerce to inventory. Website to ERP. Job management to payroll.

Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Stripe, simPRO, ServiceM8, Australia Post: we have integrated with most platforms Perth businesses use.

Real-time sync via webhooks. Scheduled batch sync for systems without webhook support. Queue-based processing for high volumes. Error recovery and retry logic on every connection.

Webhook development and event-driven integrations

Real-time data flow between systems. When an invoice is created in Xero, your CRM updates. When a Shopify order comes in, your warehouse system queues it. When a form is submitted, your sales pipeline triggers.

We build webhook listeners that validate payloads, process data, handle retries and log everything. Reliable event-driven architecture, not fragile point-to-point scripts.

For systems that do not support webhooks natively, we build polling services with change detection.

API middleware and data transformation

When System A speaks a different language to System B, you need middleware. We build the translation layer: mapping fields, converting formats, applying business rules, enriching data.

Common scenario: your job management software needs data from your accounting system, but the data shapes are completely different. Our middleware handles the transformation so both systems stay clean.

Handles data validation, field mapping, format conversion (JSON, XML, CSV, EDI), and business logic in one manageable layer.

Payment gateway and financial integrations

Stripe, Square, PayWay, B2Bpay, Tyro, Windcave: we build payment integrations that process transactions securely and reconcile with your accounting software.

Invoice payment links, subscription billing, split payments, refund automation. Connected to your MYOB or Xero so every transaction reconciles automatically.

PCI compliance, tokenisation, and secure credential management built into every payment integration.

Pricing

How we price Perth API development

No hourly billing that spirals, no vague estimates. Here is how fixed-price Perth API development actually works, from first call to signed scope.

Free 15-minute call

Tell us which systems need to talk. We give you an honest answer on whether an off-the-shelf connector will do, whether custom middleware is worth the spend, and what the realistic timeline looks like. In-person in Perth if that suits.

Fixed-price quote

After the free consultation and a proper discovery of the systems, data flows and edge cases, you get a fixed price for the entire Perth API integration project. No hourly billing that spirals.

Monitored delivery

Every API we build ships with monitoring, alerting, error logging and automated retries. If something breaks at 2am, we know before you do. Fixed-price monitoring plan optional after launch.

Case Study

Connecting MYOB, simPRO and a customer portal, eliminating double data entry

A Perth trades business was entering job data into simPRO, then re-entering invoices into MYOB, then manually updating their customer portal. We built API integrations that sync jobs, invoices and customer data automatically across all three platforms.

3 Systems connected
0 Manual data entry

We had three people spending half their day copying data between systems. HELLO PEOPLE connected everything with APIs. Now invoices, job updates and customer records sync automatically. My team works on actual work instead of data entry.

Why custom APIs

What Perth API development actually changes

Data flowing automatically, less manual entry, cleaner reporting, integrations you can trust. Here is what custom API development delivers for a Perth SMB, once it is built and running.

Perth API development team in a collaborative planning session

Perth-based API developers: same timezone, same table

We are in Perth. Not offshore behind a local phone number. When you need to workshop how your systems connect, we can sit across the table and map it out on a whiteboard.

API projects need tight communication: data formats, business rules, edge cases. Being local means questions get answered in hours, not days.

Business team reviewing system integration requirements

Built around the platforms you already use

Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, simPRO, ServiceM8, SharePoint: we have built integrations for most of the platforms Perth businesses use. We know their APIs, their limits, and their quirks.

Your API integration connects your actual systems with proper error handling, retry logic and monitoring. Not a demo that breaks the first time an API rate limit hits.

Developers building custom API architecture

APIs designed for your business, not shoehorned from a template

When off-the-shelf connectors do not fit, we build custom REST APIs from scratch. Clean endpoint design, proper authentication, versioning, documentation.

Your mobile app, web portal, partner systems and internal tools all consume the same reliable API. One source of truth, multiple consumers.

Reliable API monitoring and system health dashboard

Integrations that run without you thinking about them

API integrations fail silently when built poorly. Ours include monitoring, alerting, error logging and automatic retries. If something breaks, we know before you do.

Queue-based processing for high-volume data. Webhook listeners that handle bursts. Scheduled sync for systems without real-time support. Built to run reliably at scale.

Secure API development with proper authentication and encryption

Your business data stays protected

Every API we build uses proper authentication (OAuth 2.0, API keys, JWT tokens) depending on the use case. Data encrypted in transit and at rest. Access controls and audit logging built in.

For Perth businesses handling sensitive financial or customer data, we deploy within your infrastructure and follow Australian data residency requirements.

How it works

How a Perth API development project runs, step by step

Every API project is different, but the delivery structure stays the same. Discover, design, build, test, deploy. You always know what phase you are in and what has to happen next.

Discovery and Requirements

We map your systems, data flows and integration requirements. What talks to what, what format, how often, what happens when it fails. In-person if you are in Perth.

Architecture and API Design

We design the API structure, endpoints, authentication and data models. You review the plan before we write a line of code. Clear documentation from day one.

Build and Integrate

Iterative development with fortnightly demos. You see real data flowing between your actual systems, not mock environments.

Test and Validate

We test against edge cases, error scenarios, rate limits and data volumes. Your team validates with real workflows. Fix issues before go-live, not after.

Deploy and Monitor

Production deployment with monitoring, alerting and error logging. If an API connection fails at 2am, automated retries handle it and we get notified.

FAQs

Common questions about Perth API development

What types of API development do you offer in Perth?

Custom REST API development, third-party system integration (Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, Shopify, etc.), webhook development, API middleware, payment gateway integration, and legacy system data migration. We build in Laravel, Node.js, .NET and Python.

How do you scope and price a Perth API or integration project?

We start with a free scoping call to map the systems involved, the direction of data flow and the exception cases, then provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins. A single SaaS-to-SaaS integration sits at the lower end. A custom REST API for a mobile app or web portal, or a multi-system integration hub, is larger. No hourly billing - you know the full cost upfront.

Can you integrate our Perth software with Xero or MYOB?

Yes. Accounting integrations are one of our most common projects. We connect Xero and MYOB to CRMs, job management tools, e-commerce platforms, custom software and websites. Two-way sync, automatic invoice creation, payment reconciliation.

What if our system does not have an API?

We work with what you have. Direct database connections for legacy systems, file-based integration (CSV, XML) for older platforms, screen scraping as a last resort. If data exists in a system, we can usually get it out and into another system.

How long does a Perth API integration project take?

A straightforward two-system integration takes 2 to 4 weeks. A custom API with multiple consumers takes 6 to 12 weeks. Complex multi-system integrations with middleware can take 8 to 16 weeks. Fortnightly demos throughout.

Do you build APIs for mobile apps?

Yes. We build backend REST APIs that mobile apps consume: user authentication, data sync, push notifications, file uploads, payment processing. The API serves both iOS and Android apps through one consistent interface.

What happens when an API integration breaks?

Every integration we build includes monitoring, error logging and automated retries. If a third-party API changes or a connection fails, our retry logic handles transient errors. Persistent issues trigger alerts and we fix them before they affect your operations.

Can you connect old Access databases or legacy systems?

Yes. We regularly connect legacy Access databases, old desktop applications and on-premise systems to modern cloud platforms. Direct database connections, file export processing, or full data migration - whatever makes the most sense for your situation.

Tell us what needs integrating

Tell us which systems need to talk to each other, what data needs to move, and where the current process fails. We will come back with a practical integration scope and next step.
