API Services
Secure APIs built to the needs of your company and its trading partners, allowing the paperless
exchange of business information. We design and build RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core — either
controller-based or using Minimal APIs, depending on what suits your project.
Minimal APIs
Introduced in .NET 6, Minimal APIs let you define HTTP endpoints with far less ceremony than
traditional MVC controllers. They are the preferred approach for microservices and serverless
workloads where startup time, memory footprint, and deployment size matter. We use them where
appropriate and controllers where the added structure of a larger API warrants it.
Security
API security is not optional. Every API we build is secured using industry-standard
OAuth 2.0 — typically with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) as the
identity provider — so that only authorised callers can reach your endpoints. For
partner-facing APIs, API key authentication via Azure APIM is available as an alternative
or in addition.
