Custom APIs for Custom KPIs

Many of today’s most common app or website features wouldn’t be possible without a backend web service or API integration behind the scenes. The more integrations a product has with third-party CRMs, databases, or other web services, the more that an API would make the product development process easier. That’s why the best backend web developers create flexible and well-documented APIs to make integrations a breeze.

Our focus at Punchkick is always on finding the right technical solution to solve users’ needs. This means creatively thinking about how we can best enable the features users demand with a combination of native app development and backend web services. Our team of web architects specializes in transforming business requirements into backend web architectures that developers and clients alike can use to bring complex products to life.

Getting Started with APIs

The term “API” is probably better known than “application programming interface,” and that’s likely because of how common they are in modern app architectures. Nearly every app or website interfaces with APIs to some extent, and they’re the right tool for the job in many scenarios, especially the following:

Securely authenticating and registering users

Integrating with content streams and feeds

Providing access to payment processing services

Processing and orchestrating third-party data

Pulling third-party data into an app’s UI or features

In these cases and many more, the best API developers find ways to enable all-new app features with security, high performance and future iteration in mind. For Punchkick’s clients in financial services, retail, insurance, and e-commerce, proper API development allows them to release highly secure and optimized new products with an eye for easy future enhancements.

Showing the Receipts

Punchkick focuses on providing world-class API documentation for every custom API endpoint or integration that we develop. This allows our clients or even other third parties to leverage the power of our APIs in their current and future apps, and for our Chicago API development team to maintain the APIs and products we develop over time.

Punchkick specializes in the following backend web development technologies and technology stacks:

PHP API development

.NET Core API development

REST- and SOAP-based API development and documentation

Regardless of how many integrations your app or website needs, Punchkick can architect and develop performant, maintainable and forward-thinking APIs to bring your product to life.
