We build production Laravel APIs with clear contracts, token auth, validated resources, OpenAPI documentation, and automated tests — so your Flutter, React Native, and SPA clients ship without backend guesswork.

JSON backends where auth, validation, versioning, and documentation are production requirements — not afterthoughts.
Sanctum for SPA and mobile tokens, Passport for OAuth2 partners — with refresh flows, device revocation, and permission policies on every resource.
Swagger/OpenAPI specs and Postman collections so mobile and frontend teams integrate without reading every controller.
Pagination, sparse fieldsets, consistent error envelopes, and versioning so app store releases do not break on silent API changes.
Outbound webhooks with retries, signed payloads, and Horizon queues for async processing — Stripe, CRM, and custom partner events.
Eager loading, Redis caching, rate limiting per token, and query optimization before mobile traffic hits production.
IDOR tests, mass-assignment guards, rate limits, and tenant scoping on multi-client APIs — validated in CI before deploy.
Where a dedicated Laravel JSON backend beats bolting APIs onto ad-hoc scripts.
Single Laravel API for iOS and Android with shared auth, push token registration, and offline-friendly sync endpoints.
React or Vue customer app and Filament admin both consume one versioned Laravel API — no duplicated business logic.
API keys, scoped tokens, usage metering, and webhook callbacks for integrators and marketplace sellers.
Undocumented legacy Laravel routes — audit, contract tests, OpenAPI docs, then safe feature extension.
Mobile and integration backends fail in predictable ways — we design Laravel APIs around these risks.
Frontend and mobile teams guess request shapes — releases break when controllers change without notice.
Tokens work but policies are missing — users access other accounts' data through predictable IDs.
List endpoints fan out queries — latency spikes when app store traffic arrives.
Inbound partner events processed synchronously or twice — data drift and timeout failures.
Contract-first APIs with tests — not route files that grew organically.
Documented contracts and Postman collections so mobile and SPA teams integrate in parallel.
Feature tests on auth failures, validation, and cross-tenant access before every deploy.
Flutter and Laravel API from the same squad — shared backlog and release cadence.
Laravel API serving web and mobile after multi-vendor rescue — production scale, not demo JSON.
Typical phases from contract sprint to production mobile integration.
Production Laravel APIs use Form Requests for validation, Policies for authorization, API Resources for consistent JSON shapes, and queued listeners for webhooks — with /api/v1 versioning and contract tests in CI.
Every resource endpoint reviewed for object-level authorization before mobile launch.
Per-token and per-IP limits on public and partner API routes.
“What a 70-engineer team could not deliver, a small senior team at GreeLogix shipped. The app went from stuck to live across mobile, web, and backend.”
At-a-glance scope, pricing tiers, delivery timelines, engineering tradeoffs, and decision criteria for technical founders and product leaders.
Laravel API development from GreeLogix is production REST backend delivery — Sanctum or Passport auth, validated resources, OpenAPI docs, queue workers, and contract tests — for mobile apps, SPAs, and B2B integrations.
GreeLogix pricing tiers: API Discovery Sprint: $2,500 – $6,000 — OpenAPI contract, auth model, resource map, and phased build plan for your Laravel API. Laravel API Build: $20,000 – $55,000 — Production REST API — auth, core resources, webhooks, queues, docs, and contract tests — 8–14 weeks typical. Dedicated API Engineers: $5,000 – $12,000 / mo — Senior Laravel API developers embedded in your repo for ongoing endpoints, integrations, and performance work.
API discovery: 1 week. Core API MVP: 8–12 weeks. Public OAuth2 or heavy integration surface: phased quarters. Phases: Contract sprint (Week 1); API foundation (Week 1–2); Resource delivery (Weeks 3–10); Harden & launch (Weeks 10–12+).
Compare delivery models, cost profiles, and engineering tradeoffs before committing resources.
| Option / Approach | Best When | Primary Tradeoff / Risk | Recommended Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Node.js / Express API | JS-only team or realtime/WebSocket-first product | Requires ongoing internal technical governance, architectural oversight, and dedicated maintenance resources. | Self-directed internal teams |
| BaaS (Firebase, Supabase) | Prototype only — plan Laravel API before complex business rules | Fast initial build but potential platform lock-in and unpredictable scaling costs under heavy throughput. | Rapid lightweight MVPs |
| GraphQL gateway | Many mobile clients with divergent field needs — after REST core is stable | Requires ongoing internal technical governance, architectural oversight, and dedicated maintenance resources. | Self-directed internal teams |
| GreeLogix Pod | Accountable production delivery with senior engineers, weekly demos, and fixed milestone velocity. | Requires active product owner for weekly sprint reviews and scope alignment. | Production & Scaling (Recommended) |

Laravel API development gives you structured validation, authorization policies, API Resources, queue workers, and first-class testing — without assembling middleware stacks from scratch. For teams shipping Flutter or React Native alongside a web admin, Laravel keeps business rules in one place while clients stay thin.
GreeLogix delivers APIs that mobile and frontend teams can rely on: versioned endpoints, documented contracts, and automated tests on auth and permission boundaries. We pair API work with our API Architecture Planner and API testing services when you need design or QA depth beyond build.
While our full-stack Laravel development covers web portals and complete products, our API engineering practice focuses specifically on teams whose primary deliverable is a high-performance JSON API—powering mobile clients, partner integrations, and decoupled frontends with strict contract reliability.
Use the free API Architecture Planner to sketch endpoints before a discovery call. For stack decisions, see Laravel vs Node.js for SaaS and Laravel vs Django comparisons.
Answers to the buyer questions we hear most before a project starts.
Laravel API development is building production REST (or JSON:API) backends with Laravel — authentication, validation, resource transformers, versioning, background jobs, and OpenAPI docs — consumed by mobile apps, SPAs, and third-party integrations.
Sanctum for first-party SPAs and mobile apps with token-based auth — simpler and maintained actively. Passport for full OAuth2 server needs (third-party developers, client credentials). We recommend Sanctum unless you need a public API marketplace.
Yes — it's a core delivery pattern at GreeLogix. One Laravel API serves Flutter mobile, React admin, and partner integrations with shared business logic and permission rules.
URL prefix (/api/v1/) with explicit deprecation policy. Breaking changes ship in v2 while v1 remains supported for a defined window. Contract tests catch accidental breaks before mobile releases.
Yes. OpenAPI (Swagger) specs generated from code or maintained alongside controllers — plus Postman collections for QA and client teams. Documentation is part of delivery, not an afterthought.
A focused API with auth, 5–10 core resources, webhooks, and tests typically ships in 8–12 weeks. Complex integrations, legacy data migration, or OAuth2 public APIs add phased delivery.
API discovery sprints run $2,500–$6,000. Production API builds $20,000–$55,000 depending on resource count and integrations. Dedicated API engineers $5,000–$12,000/month. Fixed milestones quoted after the contract sprint.
PHPUnit/Pest feature tests on every endpoint — happy path, validation errors, auth failures, and permission boundaries. We also offer dedicated API testing services with Postman/Newman CI for client teams.
REST by default — cacheable, well-understood by mobile clients, and fast to ship with Laravel API Resources. GraphQL when mobile clients need highly flexible field selection and you accept added complexity.
Yes. We audit route structure, N+1 queries, auth middleware, and test coverage before adding modules. Rescue work on undocumented APIs starts with discovery and contract tests to prevent regressions.
Resource map, auth model, error format, and OpenAPI skeleton agreed before build.
Auth, versioning, pagination, base tests, and CI on staging in week 1.
Endpoints with validation, policies, and feature tests — weekly integration with mobile or SPA.
Rate limits, monitoring, docs handoff, and production deploy with rollback plan.
