Extend your software's capabilities through secure, scalable, and well-documented APIs built by New Zealand's leading API development specialists.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. Think of it as a waiter in a restaurant – you (the client) order from a menu, the waiter (API) takes your request to the kitchen (the server), and then brings back what you ordered.
APIs enable your software to securely share data and functionality with other applications, third-party services, mobile apps, and even internal systems without exposing the underlying code or infrastructure.
In today's interconnected digital ecosystem, standalone software is increasingly limiting. Modern business software needs to connect, integrate, and extend its capabilities through APIs to:
Without an API, your software remains isolated in an increasingly connected world, limiting its growth potential and forcing users to rely on cumbersome manual processes for data exchange and integrations.
While your in-house development team might excel at building your core software, API development presents unique challenges that require specialized expertise:
API development requires security expertise, thorough documentation, version management, rate limiting, authentication systems, and scalable architecture – specialized skills that most internal development teams haven't needed to develop.
By partnering with Pinpoint's API specialists, your internal team can focus on what they do best – developing your core software functionality – while we build the secure, scalable bridge that connects your software to the wider digital ecosystem.
Building APIs in-house often leads to unexpected costs, extended timelines, and missed opportunities due to the specialized nature of API development. Our experienced team helps you avoid these pitfalls:
Our clients typically see 30-40% cost savings compared to in-house API development projects, with dramatically faster time-to-market and higher-quality results that require less maintenance and support.
As a proudly New Zealand-owned company, we understand the unique needs and challenges of Kiwi businesses. When you partner with Pinpoint for your API development, you're supporting local expertise and innovation while gaining several advantages:
By choosing Pinpoint, you're partnering with fellow Kiwis who are committed to helping New Zealand businesses thrive in the digital economy. We're not just service providers – we're your neighbors, invested in the success of New Zealand's technology future.

API development doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing investment. Our approach allows you to start with a minimal viable API and expand its capabilities as you see returns on your investment:
Essential endpoints with basic authentication and documentation
Expanded functionality, improved security, and partner onboarding
Complete functionality, analytics, and developer ecosystem
We'll help you identify your most valuable API use cases to deliver immediate value with a focused initial investment. As you see returns from your API through new partnerships, integrations, and efficiencies, we can help you expand its capabilities and reach.
This incremental approach reduces upfront costs and risk while allowing you to validate your API strategy before making larger investments. Many of our clients start with a small, targeted API project and expand over time as they see the benefits in action.
