Versioning
If anyone outside your team will call it, a change needs a version. We plan that before the first consumer exists.
API Development
An API is a promise about inputs and outputs. We design that contract, build it, and document the errors, so another developer is not guessing from a sample that only shows the happy path.
- A written list of operations, who may call them, and what they return
- Authentication that matches the sensitivity of the data
- Documentation and a way to test a call without reading the source

What We Pay Attention To
A few specifics for this kind of work. The contact form is the place to tell us which of them is yours.
The data you must not leak
An API that returns a neighbor’s record is a defect, not a quirk. Tenant and role checks are part of the design.
Existing systems
Sometimes the job is a thin API over a system you already have. We will do that instead of replacing it.
What the Engagement Looks Like
Capability and process, for this kind of work.
An illustration, not a testimonial
Consider a Nashville-area team that needs their system to speak to another one under a contract someone else can build against. We would look at how that business takes the work in and where it gets stuck, then agree what to change. This describes the kind of situation. It is not a named client and it is not an outcome.

Should You Build an API or Use Someone Else's?
Use the other system's contract when it already carries your record, and build one when your system is the thing others must call. The service page is the conversation after that.
