Integration and API development
It is not for us to say, but there is no integration or API we cannot handle; so if you have a project of this kind on your hands, we offer you a tailored analysis and implementation service.
Bespoke Integration Services
Do you need to integrate your CRM, ERP, website, ecommerce store or any other system with a third party and build a systems-level integration? Our experience tells us that the analysis stage of this kind of project is where you really have to focus on the rainy day scenarios.
For us that is the secret to a successful system-to-system integration, because it avoids real headaches for the Operations teams running the systems.
Depending on the ecosystem we can use whichever programming language best suits the client’s scenario. We always provide a technical design and an operations manual. In any case, we love simplicity and we are great fans of microservices and the use of webhooks.
These are the standard integrations we can carry out quickly and easily:
API development
Any integration needs an API (Application Programming Interface) that offers a service to a third party.
At Impulsa3 we start by defining the requirements of your service. We then carry out a functional and technical analysis of the solution, draw up a test plan and, finally, build and deploy your API so that the third party can interact with your business.
We know the industry standards well, such as REST APIs, and standardised models such as Schema or eTOM.
We are passionate about securing APIs and building them as open source.
Integration of JIRA with eCommerce, Mailchimp and CRMs through APIs
We recently integrated Atlassian’s JIRA software with several ecommerce stores and those, in turn, with Mailchimp, Trello or proprietary CRMs in order to automate customer service tasks and optimise marketing strategies. All of it using different API technologies and programming languages:
- GraphQL
- API REST
- API Microservicios
- API RPC (Legacy)
- API SOAP (Legacy)
- PHP
- Python
- C#
- Java
- Javascript

What is a RESTful API and how does it differ from other APIs?
A RESTful API follows the principles of REST architecture, using HTTP to perform CRUD operations through standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE. Unlike SOAP APIs, which require XML, REST APIs can return data in several formats including JSON and XML, making integration with modern web applications easier.
How do I secure my API to protect sensitive data?
The security of an API can be strengthened by implementing authentication tokens, SSL/TLS encryption and CORS policies. It is also crucial to use authentication protocols such as OAuth2 to manage third-party applications’ access to the API resources, making sure that only authorised users can reach sensitive information.
What are the best practices for managing an API version?
Managing an API version effectively requires setting and sticking to a versioning scheme from the start of development. A common practice is to include the version number in the API URL, such as /api/v1/ruta. It is also advisable to document changes thoroughly and communicate them to the developers who consume your API through clear migration guides.
Which tools do you recommend for testing the functionality and performance of an API?
Tools such as Postman, Swagger or SOAP UI are essential for testing APIs during development. For performance and load testing, tools such as JMeter and Apache Bench offer robust features that help identify bottlenecks and scalability problems before the API goes into production.
How can I improve my API documentation?
Effective API documentation includes code examples, detailed descriptions of every endpoint, accepted parameters and the expected response formats. Using tools such as Swagger or Apiary can automate part of this process and guarantee that the documentation stays up to date as your API evolves.
