In London, APIs are often the product. Fintechs connect to banks through Open Banking, logistics firms expose tracking to retailers, and property platforms exchange listings with portals. Even a small business can need an API when its booking system, accounting software and website must stay in sync without staff copying data between them.
Good API work starts with a contract: clear endpoints, versioning, error formats and documentation that a partner's developer can follow without a meeting. Security is the next layer, with proper authentication, rate limits and logging. Where personal data moves between systems, UK GDPR expects you to minimise what is shared and to know which party is controller and which is processor. Firms touching payment or account data in the UK need to check what the FCA's rules and the Open Banking standards require of them before designing endpoints, rather than after a partner's compliance team asks.
Effort depends on how many systems are involved, the quality of their existing APIs, data volumes, and whether real time behaviour is needed or batch is fine. Ask a provider how they document and version an API, how they test against third party sandboxes, how they monitor failures in production, and how breaking changes will be communicated to consumers. Frenchy Digital writes the documentation alongside the code so your partners are not waiting on it.
