API Integrations

API Integrations

API integrations — connect the systems that off-the-shelf plugins and integrators do not support

We build dedicated API integrations that connect your website, store, CRM, ERP, web application, warehouse system, database, customer panel or an external tool with your other company systems.

If a ready-made plugin, Zapier, Make or a standard n8n node is not enough — we prepare an individual connection through the API. Data can be fetched, sent, synchronised, validated and processed exactly according to your business logic.

It is not just about “plugging in an API”. The goal is a stable flow of data that reduces manual work, lowers the number of errors and lets you automate processes that off-the-shelf tools cannot handle.

  • Node.js, PHP, Python
  • REST + SOAP + GraphQL
  • OAuth, JWT, API Key, custom auth
  • Webhooks + retry + idempotency
  • Monitoring + logs + alerts
  • Code in Git — no vendor lock-in

An API integration is your situation if

  • you have your own CMS, CRM, ERP, customer panel or web application
  • the system has no ready-made integration with WordPress / WooCommerce / BaseLinker / n8n / Zapier / Make
  • the off-the-shelf integration transfers too little data
  • you need custom field mapping
  • data must be processed before it is saved
  • the integration requires OAuth, JWT, an API Key or custom auth
  • you want to combine several data sources into one process
  • you need logs, alerts and error control
  • you want to keep the integration code on your side
  • you care about a solution that does not lock you into a single SaaS platform

What does an API integration give you?

Five concrete benefits that off-the-shelf plugins and standard integrators do not provide.

01

You connect systems that normally do not work together

If two tools have no ready-made integration, they can be connected directly through the API. This is especially true for bespoke systems, older ERPs, industry-specific applications and unusual processes.

02

You cut down on manual data re-entry

Data moves automatically between systems: customer, order, product, invoice, document, status, report, ticket, payment or the result of a query.

03

You keep your own business logic

Off-the-shelf integrators often impose limitations. A dedicated API integration lets you set your own rules: when to fetch data, how to process it, which fields to synchronise and what to do on error.

04

You have greater control over your data

An integration can include logs, alerts, error handling, retry, documentation and monitoring. You know what the system did, when and with what result.

05

You avoid vendor lock-in

You receive the full integration code in a Git repository and can hand it over to other developers. You are not tied to a single provider or a single SaaS platform.

What problem do API integrations tackle?

Off-the-shelf integrations are convenient, but they have limitations. They often work only in simple scenarios: fetch data, send data, change a status. The problem starts where a company needs something more specific.

the external system has no ready-made connector
the ready-made plugin does not support the endpoint you need
data has to be transformed before saving
the API requires unusual authentication
the process must run according to individual conditions
you need to combine several data sources
the integration must run on a schedule or in real time
you need to control errors and record logs
data cannot be sent through random intermediary tools

A dedicated API integration lets you build a connection matched to the company’s real process. The system does not work “the way the plugin allows”, but the way the business requires.

An API, n8n or a ready-made plugin?

You do not always need to write dedicated code straight away. Sometimes a ready-made plugin is enough, sometimes n8n, and sometimes a dedicated API integration is essential.

TechnologyWhen it makes senseLimitations
Ready-made pluginthe process is standard, the integration is popular and well maintained, the data is simple, there are no custom rulesaccepting the limitations of an off-the-shelf solution
n8nyou need to connect several tools, the process needs conditions and simple transformations, the integration should run as a workflow, you want fast deliveryless control over the logic than with a custom API, node limitations
Dedicated APIan unusual or poorly supported API, full control over the logic, custom auth, many endpoints, data validation and transformation, logs/monitoring/retry, no vendor lock-inhigher upfront cost and a longer delivery time

What can we integrate through an API?

Six areas of dedicated integration — from stores and CRMs, through web applications and customer panels, to external registries and production webhooks.

01

Online store ↔ external system

  • fetching products
  • price updates
  • stock synchronisation
  • passing orders through
  • status updates
  • fetching documents
  • contractor synchronisation
  • data validation before saving

Benefit: The store runs on up-to-date data from the master system, and the team does not update information by hand.

02

CRM and forms

  • sending leads to the CRM
  • creating contacts
  • assigning leads to sales reps
  • fetching statuses
  • updating customer data
  • creating tasks
  • automatic notifications

Benefit: Leads reach sales faster and do not get lost in an inbox.

03

Finance, invoicing and accounting systems

  • issuing an invoice after an order is paid
  • passing contractor data through
  • fetching the payment status
  • saving a PDF document
  • sending the invoice to the customer
  • passing data to accounting

Benefit: Less manual document issuing and a lower risk of mistakes.

04

Web applications and customer panels

  • fetching data from an external system
  • sending orders or tickets
  • status synchronisation
  • creating user accounts
  • data verification
  • generating documents
  • fetching reports

Benefit: Your company app exchanges data with the rest of the systems instead of working as an isolated island.

05

Public data and external registries

  • fetching data from registries (GUS, BIK)
  • verifying a contractor
  • checking the status of data
  • auto-completing forms
  • fetching reports on a schedule
  • combining data from several sources

Benefit: The company uses external data without manually checking multiple systems.

06

Webhooks and production automations

  • receiving events from external systems
  • queuing and retry
  • signature validation
  • operation idempotency
  • writes to a queue / database
  • failure notifications

Benefit: The integration reacts to events instantly and does not lose data during temporary outages.

What does the API integration package include?

Thirteen elements of the delivery — from API documentation analysis to post-deployment support.

Example API integration scenarios

Five concrete processes that we most often build as part of dedicated API integrations.

01

WooCommerce → ERP → warehouse

  1. A customer places an order in the store
  2. The integration passes the data to the ERP
  3. The ERP returns the order acceptance status
  4. The system updates the status in WooCommerce
  5. Stock levels synchronise with the master system
  6. Errors are sent to logs and alerts
02

Web form → external API → CRM

  1. A user fills in the form
  2. The system validates the data
  3. The integration sends a request to an external API
  4. The API response is processed
  5. The data reaches the CRM
  6. A sales rep receives a notification
03

CRM → invoicing system → PDF

  1. A customer’s status changes in the CRM
  2. The integration fetches the contractor data
  3. The data is validated
  4. The system issues a sales document
  5. The PDF is saved in the customer’s folder
  6. The customer receives a message with the document
04

Web app → several external APIs

  1. A user performs an action in the app
  2. The system fetches data from several sources
  3. The data is combined and normalised
  4. The result reaches the user panel
  5. The operation is recorded in the logs
  6. Errors trigger an alert for the administrator
05

Webhook → n8n → API → database

  1. An external system sends a webhook
  2. n8n receives the event
  3. The API integration fetches additional data
  4. The data is validated and processed
  5. The result is saved to the database or CRM
  6. The team receives a notification that the process is complete

The most important decisions before an API integration

Five questions that determine whether the API integration will be stable and predictable in production.

01

Which data should be synchronised?

Customers, orders, products, prices, stock levels, invoices, statuses, documents, tickets, reports, payments — you need to clearly define what data moves between systems.

02

Which system is the source of truth?

Prices — the ERP. Products — the PIM or the store. Stock — the warehouse. Orders — the store. Customer data — the CRM. Invoices — the accounting system. Statuses — the operational system.

03

In which direction should the data flow?

An integration can be one-way or two-way: store → ERP, ERP → store, CRM → invoicing, form → API → CRM, warehouse → store, external system → app, app → external system.

04

Should the process run in real time, on a schedule or manually?

After an event, via a webhook, every few minutes, once a day, on a schedule or after being run manually. A lead — quickly. A financial report — once a day.

05

What do we do on error?

Missing required data, an incorrect response format, an unavailable API, an exceeded request limit, an authorisation error, a duplicate record, a data conflict, a timeout, a change in the API response structure.

An API integration must be secure, testable and maintainable

API integrations process customer data, orders, documents, access tokens, financial data and information from internal systems. The delivery should cover not only the code, but also security, monitoring and maintenance procedures.

  • secure storage of API keys
  • support for OAuth, JWT, an API Key or custom auth
  • restricting the scope of permissions
  • input data validation
  • operation logging
  • error alerts
  • retry and timeout handling
  • technical documentation
  • version control in Git
  • integration tests
  • an update plan for when the external API changes

The client buys not just “code”, but predictability and the ability to keep maintaining the integration — including by another developer.

What do you get after deployment?

Six tangible elements delivered once the API integration project is complete.

01

A working API integration

A ready connection between systems, tested on agreed scenarios and prepared for production work.

02

Source code in a repository

You receive the integration code in GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket — you are not tied to a single provider.

03

Technical documentation

We describe the endpoints, authorisation, data mapping, integration logic, error handling and the way it is maintained.

04

User documentation

A simpler description for the people using the process: what the integration does, when it runs, where to check the status and what to do on error.

05

Monitoring and alerts

The integration reports problems: an unavailable API, a save error, missing data, an authorisation error, a failed synchronisation.

06

Post-deployment support

We watch how the integration behaves on real data and fix the scenarios that could not be fully anticipated in testing.

How much does an API integration cost?

The price depends on the number of endpoints, the authorisation method, the number of systems, the scope of data mapping, the transformation, error handling, monitoring and testing.

What does an API integration delivery look like?

Seven stages — from API documentation analysis to handing over the repository and post-deployment support.

01

We analyse the API and documentation

We review the technical documentation, endpoints, authorisation, limits, data structure and constraints. If the documentation is incomplete, we run tests on a sandbox/test environment.

02

We design the integration architecture

We establish which systems need to communicate, what data will be transferred, in which direction, how often and according to what rules.

03

We map and validate the data

We define the field equivalents between systems. We establish how to handle missing data, incorrect formats, duplicates and unusual cases.

04

We implement the API connector

We build the integration code in Node.js, PHP or Python — depending on the stack and the requirements.

05

We test the integration

We check correct scenarios, errors, missing data, limits, timeouts, API responses, duplicates and edge cases. Testing also covers “what happens when something goes wrong”.

06

We deploy and set up monitoring

After testing we deploy the integration to production and configure logs, alerts and the way errors are handled.

07

We document and hand over the project

We hand over the documentation, the code repository and an operating guide. The integration is not a “black box”.

Frequently asked questions

Can every API integration be built?
Not always. First we need to check whether the system exposes an API, what endpoints it offers, its limits, authorisation and documentation. If the system does not allow you to fetch or send the data you need, the integration may require a workaround or be impossible within the expected scope.
Will an API integration replace Zapier, Make or n8n?
It can, but it does not always have to. Zapier, Make and n8n are good for many standard processes. A dedicated API integration makes sense when off-the-shelf tools are too limited, there is no connector available, you need custom authorisation, or the process requires bespoke logic.
Will I get the source code?
Yes. We hand over the full integration code in a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket). This means you are not tied to a single provider and can develop the project in the future with another team.
What happens if the external API changes?
The integration may need updating. Providers usually announce changes in advance. Adapting the integration to a new API version costs roughly 20–50% of the original integration value — which is why monitoring, documentation and a maintenance plan matter.
How long does an API integration take to deliver?
A simple integration: 2–3 weeks. A medium one: 4–6 weeks. A complex production integration: 6–10 weeks. The timeline depends on the quality of the API documentation, the number of endpoints, the testing and the availability of a test environment.
Can I just get an API consultation?
Yes — we offer a 1–2 h architecture consultation for 290–490 PLN net. It is a good starting point for companies that do not yet know whether they need a dedicated API integration, n8n or a ready-made plugin.
Can an API integration run on a schedule?
Yes. An integration can run on a schedule (every few minutes, once an hour, once a day) or based on an event (a webhook, a new order, a status change, a user action).
Can an API integration be two-way?
Yes, but it requires precise rules. You need to decide which system takes priority, what to do in the event of a data conflict and how to avoid systems overwriting each other’s information.
How does an API integration differ from a ready-made plugin?
A ready-made plugin works according to predefined features. An API integration can be designed individually: with its own logic, data mapping, validation, error handling, monitoring and alignment with your business process. It is usually more expensive than a plugin, but gives you greater flexibility and control.

Got a system that can’t be connected with a ready-made plugin?

If you use your own CRM, ERP, customer panel, web application, warehouse system, external API or a tool that no ready-made integration supports — we can design a dedicated API connection.

We start by analysing the documentation and checking whether the integration is possible, what its scope will be and whether a custom API, n8n, a ready-made plugin or a simpler automation is the better solution.

Send us the API documentation or describe the systems you want to connect — we will work out the best way to deliver the integration.
