HANDIRIS TECH · Custom API Development
When existing software does not provide the interface a business needs, a purpose-built API can create a structured way for applications and services to exchange information.
System Architecture
HANDIRIS scopes and develops custom APIs around defined business requirements. Work considers resources, data structures, authentication, validation, error handling and the needs of applications that will consume the API.
Our Capabilities
Define endpoints, request and response structures, validation rules and expected behaviour around agreed requirements.
Build custom interfaces that expose approved application data and business operations.
Implement appropriate authentication and authorisation approaches and document how the interface should be used.
In Practice
Provide structured endpoints for websites, mobile applications and other approved client applications.
Expose selected business operations so authorised internal tools can work with a shared application backend.
Create defined ways to retrieve, validate or update business information according to agreed access rules.
Business Challenges
The business needs a way for another application or system to access specific data or functionality.
Standard platform features do not expose the operations or validation rules required by the organisation.
A website, mobile application or internal tool needs a defined backend interface to support its functions.
Business Value
Define how applications interact with the business logic and data they are permitted to use.
Allow multiple authorised applications to use a consistently defined interface.
Make future system connections easier to plan through documented and structured API endpoints.
Who It Supports
Businesses developing their own digital platforms
Organisations that need a backend interface for an application
Teams connecting internal data with approved external consumers
Projects requiring custom business logic behind an API
Scope of Work
Requirements and API resource planning
Endpoint and data-structure design

API Engineering
We clarify the applications, users, data and operations the API must support.
We plan endpoints, request and response structures, validation and access requirements.
We implement the agreed API behaviour and supporting business logic.
We validate the operations and prepare documentation for the intended consumers.
Common Questions
A custom API is an interface developed for a particular system or business need, allowing authorised software to request or exchange information.
Yes. An API can provide a shared backend interface for a website, mobile application or other authorised software.
An existing backend can be assessed to determine whether its current interfaces can be extended or a separate API is more appropriate.
Yes. We can review the current application, data model and technical constraints before defining an API extension or a separate service.
Access controls may include authentication, authorisation, validation, rate limits and logging, selected according to the data and operations exposed.
Documentation for the agreed endpoints, request formats, responses and authentication approach can be included in the delivery scope.
