API Development Designed for the Clients That Follow
APIs are promises. We design them for versioning and evolution, document them so the docs stay true, and load-test them before external consumers ever depend on them. REST, webhooks, and event streams. Fixed written quotes.

What API Development Means at Moxace
API development at Moxace means interfaces designed for the long life they will live: consistent resource modeling, explicit versioning and deprecation, idempotency where retries happen, and documentation generated from the same source as the implementation.
Bring us in when third parties will integrate against you, when internal services need contracts that stop drift, or when an existing API's inconsistencies are costing your consumers and your support team more than a redesign would.
What Every API Development Engagement Includes
Scoped in writing before the first sprint. If it is not on this list, we will tell you exactly what it costs to add it.
Contract-first design
OpenAPI or protobuf schemas drafted and reviewed before implementation, so the interface is deliberate.
Versioning and deprecation
Explicit version strategies with usage tracking and sunset policies, so breaking changes are events, not surprises.
Idempotency and retries
Safe retry semantics with idempotency keys, because networks fail and clients retry.
Webhooks done right
Signed payloads, delivery retries, and consumer verification flows for event-driven integrations.
Auth and rate limiting
OAuth2 and API-key flows with quota and rate-limit policies that protect shared infrastructure.
Honest documentation
Generated reference docs with runnable examples, kept true by being generated from the contract.
What You Can Build With API Development
Representative outcomes our API Development teams deliver.
Public partner APIs
External interfaces your customers and integrators build businesses on.
Internal service contracts
Typed, versioned interfaces that keep microservice teams independent.
Integration platforms
Webhook and connector layers linking your product to the tools your customers already use.
API redesigns
Inconsistent APIs restructured behind versioned contracts with migration paths for existing consumers.
How the engagement runs
From first call to handover, with a working build to see every two weeks.
- 01
Scoping call
One hour on consumers, domains, and lifecycle plans, ending with a fixed written quote.
✓ step 01 complete - 02
Contract design sprint
The schema drafted against real consumer scenarios, with versioning policy documented.
✓ step 02 complete - 03
Two-week build sprints
Working endpoints on staging every two weeks, exercised by real consumer prototypes.
✓ step 03 complete - 04
Load and contract QA
Schema tests, load tests, and rate-limit verification gating every release.
✓ step 04 complete - 05
Launch and handover
Production deploy with per-consumer metrics, plus full code, documentation, and IP ownership.
✓ step 05 complete
The adjacent stack we bring
API Development never ships alone. These are the pieces we routinely wire around it.
OpenAPI and protobuf
Contract formats matched to consumer needs.
REST and gRPC
Interface styles chosen per workload, not per fashion.
Webhook frameworks
Signed, retried event delivery with consumer tooling.
API gateways
Routing, quotas, and analytics at the edge.
Contract testing
Consumer-driven contracts keeping providers and clients honest.
AI inside the build
Where models genuinely earn their place in API Development work. Each ships wired to your data and sharpens as usage compounds.
AI endpoints
LLM and model features exposed with the same contract discipline as the rest of your API.

Every build ships with
Standard inclusions on every engagement. Nine things you never have to ask for.
100% source code, full IP
The complete unencrypted codebase transfers to you, with documentation and deployment scripts.
Named senior team
The engineers who scope your build are the ones who write it. No bait-and-switch staffing.
Architecture blueprint
A documented system design covering data model, integrations, and scaling path, written before the first sprint.
Sprint demos every 2 weeks
A working build demonstrated every two weeks, so you steer continuously instead of waiting for a reveal.
QA and security testing
Automated and manual QA on every build, plus a security checklist on each release candidate.
CI/CD and monitoring
Pipelines, cloud deployment, alerting, and observability configured from day one, so launch is a rehearsed event.
Fixed written pricing
A scoped quote in writing before work starts. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices mid-build.
60 days support
A post-launch support window covering bug fixes and environment issues, standard on every engagement.
Handover documentation
Code, infrastructure, and runbooks documented so any team, ours or yours, can pick the product up cleanly.
Hire a dedicated team or run a Fixed-scope project
Both tracks deliver the same API Development quality bar. The difference is control, timeline, and how the work is priced.
| Criteria | Dedicated Team (Hire) | Fixed-Scope Project |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Ongoing API Development work with evolving priorities | A defined outcome with a clear finish line |
| Pricing | Predictable monthly team rate | Fixed written quote after scoping |
| Team | Engineers embedded in your rituals and tooling | Our PM, our process, demos every two weeks |
| Flexibility | Reprioritize the backlog any week | Change requests estimated and scheduled |
| Source code and IP | 100% ownership on delivery | 100% ownership on delivery |
| Start time | Team in place within 1-2 weeks | Kickoff within days of the signed scope |
