One number per project
Every build targets one number you name, like checkout latency or failed-payment rate.
The engineer codes to it; the monthly note reports it. No noise.
Trust built into every endpoint we ship
Every Dcrayon build rests on six things across our API development and integration services: versioned contracts, tested integrations, signed webhooks, and clear reporting.
One number, full API build
Spec plus tests We agree on one measurable outcome before the first endpoint ships, like cutting p95 response time or ending duplicate order webhooks. Your senior engineer owns that number and reports it every month.
One engineer, spec to ship
Same hands throughout The senior engineer who writes your OpenAPI spec is the same one who ships the endpoints. No junior handing you untested routes on your budget.
Shipping APIs since 2016
Endpoints in production We have shipped production APIs across payments, logistics, and CRM sync since 2016 for teams in India, the US, the UK, and the UAE. REST, GraphQL, idempotency keys, webhook retries, and OAuth 2.0 flows are routine work here, not a guess.
Walk away, no lock-in
Month to month Month-to-month once the first build cycle closes. We re-earn the account each cycle, and teams stay because the endpoints keep holding under real traffic.
APIs plus the wider stack
Add pieces as needed Your API work sits alongside our mobile and software builds. Teams add cloud setup, app work, or Jamstack development services as the system grows.
A monthly note you can read
Weekly call, monthly note A weekly call with your engineer and a monthly note tied to your number: uptime, error rate, and integration health your finance team can follow.
HOW DCRAYON API DEVELOPMENT WORKS
How Dcrayon designs, builds, and integrates your APIs over 90 days
A short walk through a Dcrayon API Development project, from the first spec review to live, monitored endpoints and integrations.
What is API Development?
API development is building the endpoints and integrations that let your apps, storefront, Jamstack front end, and back office exchange data. Three cards cover what it is, how our custom API development differs, and how we measure each project.
Step 1: What API Development covers
Definition API development is a standing part of our Mobile & Software practice, not a one-off script. We version each endpoint, hold it to an OpenAPI contract, and judge the work against a single reliability or latency target you set.
Step 2: Why a Dcrayon API build is different
Difference Since 2016 we have learned where integrations fail: silent webhook drops, token expiry, and pagination that times out. We answer with idempotent endpoints, signed webhook payloads, retry queues, and tested links to Razorpay, Stripe, and Zoho. Fewer surprises after go-live.
Step 3: How we measure the work
Measurement A first review sets the baseline. A weekly call and a monthly note track your number across the cycle. You can walk away when the cycle closes.
What goes into every API we ship
What you get on every Dcrayon API build
Each item maps to real work that makes your APIs faster, safer, and easier to call. Built and reviewed by the senior engineer on your account.
Clean REST and GraphQL
REST and GraphQL endpoints documented with OpenAPI and a Postman collection, so your app and partners call them without guesswork.
Tested integrations
We link your app to Razorpay, Stripe, and Zoho with OAuth 2.0 and signed webhooks, tested in sandbox and production so payments and data move correctly.
Free build review
A free review reads your current APIs against a 150-point checklist.
We map what is slow, what is unsafe, and what to fix first.
Weekly call, monthly note
A weekly call with your engineer and a plain monthly note tied to your number.
The reporting rhythm is written into the contract.
Walk away any cycle
Month-to-month once the first cycle closes.
The walk-away right sits in every contract. We re-earn the account each cycle.
Three tools behind every API build
Review, Plan, and Build: the opening audit, the 90-day plan, and the kit we use on every project.
Dcrayon API Review
A review against a 150-point checklist covering auth, versioning, and integration health. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Build Plan (API sequencing)
The 90-day plan that orders endpoints, auth, and integrations behind one number you pick, so each step moves toward it.
DcrayonAI (build kit)
Our in-house kit that helps with the review, the scaffolding, and the testing of each new endpoint and integration.
How Dcrayon builds your APIs
Three steps we repeat so each cycle builds on the last.
Step 1: Review
A free Dcrayon review of your APIs, mapped to your number and where it leaks today.
Step 2: Plan
A written 90-day plan tied to one number you pick. Senior engineer on the account from the first sprint. Walk away any cycle.
Step 3: Compound
A weekly call and a plain monthly note. Work carries across cycles, so the endpoints built in cycle one support the next.

Question & Answer
Frequently asked questions
Real questions teams ask Dcrayon about API development before signing on.
Most builds start showing steadier response times and fewer failed calls in 30 to 90 days, depending on your current setup, the scope, and your market. A clear payback usually lands by month 3.
Many shops bill by the hour and hand over undocumented code. Dcrayon builds to one reliability goal, ships an OpenAPI spec and a test suite, and stands behind our links to Razorpay, Stripe, and Zoho.
API development retainers usually run Rs 1.8L to Rs 5L per month for single-region work. Multi-region or heavier integration builds run above Rs 7L.
No. Month-to-month once the first cycle closes. The walk-away right sits in every contract.
API Development is one of several Dcrayon Mobile & Software services. Teams often start with an api development and integration layer, then add app or backend work as they grow. See the full Mobile & Software overview at /services/mobile-software.
