API Development in St Davids
Building APIs for St Davids organisations exposing their systems to partners, customers or their own applications. The design decisions made in the first week are the ones you live with, because once a third party has integrated, changing the contract stops being a technical choice and becomes a negotiation.
Why this comes up
The problem
Partners want programmatic access and the current answer is a nightly file export. Each new integration is bespoke work, and every consumer expects a different format.
What you get
What we deliver
- Resource design and naming settled before implementation, since renaming later is breaking
- Authentication appropriate to the consumers — API keys, OAuth, or mutual TLS
- Versioning strategy decided up front rather than improvised at the first breaking change
- Pagination, filtering and rate limiting, so one consumer cannot degrade the service for others
- Errors that are actionable, with codes a client can branch on rather than prose
- OpenAPI documentation generated from the implementation, so it cannot drift

API Development in St Davids — common questions
- REST or GraphQL?
- REST for most business APIs — it is simpler to operate, cache and explain, and consumers already know it. GraphQL earns its complexity where clients need widely varying shapes of the same data, which is a real problem but a narrower one than its popularity suggests.
- How should we handle versioning?
- Decide before launch. Additive changes need no version; removing or renaming a field breaks consumers regardless of your intent. A version in the path is unfashionable and works, and knowing your policy in advance prevents the awkward first breaking change.
- Do we need rate limiting from day one?
- Yes. A single consumer looping without backoff will otherwise take down the service for everyone, and it is usually a mistake rather than malice. Limits are also easier to relax later than to introduce once integrators depend on unlimited access.
- How much documentation is enough?
- Enough that a competent developer integrates without contacting you — authentication, every endpoint, error codes, and realistic examples. Generating it from the implementation matters more than its polish, because hand-written docs drift and then mislead.
- Do you work with businesses across Pembrokeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including St Davids and the surrounding Pembrokeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Davids businesses do you usually work with?
- Simple booking and payment systems for very small hospitality and tourism operators on the Pembrokeshire coast. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Hospitality, Agriculture, Marine and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around St Davids?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Swansea, Cardiff. St Davids is an urban area of roughly 1,600+, and we take on work across the wider Pembrokeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
