Types of APIs we design, build, and integrate
At Trivosoft we work with a wide range of API styles and protocols. We design and implement APIs for web and mobile apps, microservices, third‑party integrations, and AI pipelines. Below are the main types we use and when we recommend them.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is our default choice for most HTTP APIs. We use standard methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), resource-based URLs, and JSON (or XML when required). REST is widely understood, easy to consume from frontends and mobile apps, and works well with CDNs and caching.
We use GraphQL when clients need flexible, fine-grained data fetching—single endpoint, client-defined queries, and minimal over-fetching. It fits well with complex UIs, mobile apps, and multi-product backends.
For high-performance, service-to-service communication we use gRPC (HTTP/2, Protocol Buffers). It’s our go-to for microservices, internal APIs, and low-latency systems.
We implement webhooks for event-driven integrations: payment gateways, CRM, messaging, and DevOps tools. We expose outbound webhooks and securely consume third‑party webhooks with signature verification and idempotency.
For real-time features (chat, live dashboards, notifications, collaborative editing) we use WebSockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE), or managed services (e.g. Pusher, Ably). We choose based on latency, scale, and hosting constraints.
When we ship APIs, we often provide SDKs or client libraries (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, etc.) to simplify integration, handle auth, retries, and versioning. We document usage with examples and type definitions.
We design and test APIs with OpenAPI (Swagger), Postman, and GraphQL Playground. We deploy on AWS, Azure, Vercel, and similar platforms, with API gateways, rate limiting, and monitoring where needed.
