Custom API Development
Build an API around your platform processes, internal systems and external services — from requirements and data-exchange design through testing, documentation and launch.

Custom API
From requirements to production integration
Data exchange rules
Methods, fields, identifiers, statuses, errors and compatibility rules between connected systems.
Integration layer
Data transformation, request routing and coordinated operation of multiple systems.
Existing systems
Connecting internal services, databases, back office, player balances, CRM and other solutions.
Security and access
Access keys, request signatures, roles, IP restrictions and activity logs.
Post-launch monitoring
Availability, response time, errors and overall connection health checks.
Linked to documentation and integrations
A custom API is aligned with the documentation and modules already operating on the platform.
Overview
An API designed around project processes and architecture
A custom API is needed when an existing connector is not enough: systems may use different data formats, proprietary processes or specific security and reporting rules.
Work begins by documenting processes, data sources, operation states, system responsibilities and the expected outcome.
System connectivity
Protocol and data transformation between the platform, providers and internal services.
Post-launch support
Operational monitoring, transaction history, error diagnostics and ongoing integration support.
Development scope
What custom API development includes
This page is intended for platform owners and product, operations and technical teams that require a bespoke integration.
Integration scope
Analysis of existing APIs, databases, queues, file exchange and available connection methods.
Design of methods, data models, statuses, errors, identifiers and events.
Development of the integration layer, event notifications and synchronisation mechanisms.
Access protection, roles, retry handling, logging and operational monitoring.
Business scope
Description of user, financial, gaming and operational processes between systems.
Definition of the system of record for each data type and the rules for updating it.
Agreement on critical scenarios, restrictions, acceptance criteria and staged launch.
Documentation for development, support, analytics and operations teams.
Development process
How custom API development works
The process covers system analysis, agreement on the exchange format, development of the integration layer and controlled launch.
01
Requirements analysis
Systems, processes, data, constraints, possible errors and readiness criteria are documented.
02
API design
Methods, fields, statuses, events, access protection and compatibility rules are defined.
03
Development and testing
The integration layer is built, and test data, logging and project documentation are prepared.
04
Acceptance and launch
Joint testing, load assessment, monitoring configuration and staged enablement are completed.
Solution components
Custom API components
The solution depends on the connected systems, data volume, load and reliability requirements.
Core API
Methods for retrieving, creating and updating data with consistent request and response formats.
Event notifications
Transfer of changes between systems, authenticity verification and redelivery after temporary errors.
System connectivity
Data transformation and coordination between the platform and external and internal services.
Existing solutions
Connecting databases, file exchange, queues and internal services that do not have a modern API.
Access protection
Keys, signatures, roles, permissions, IP restrictions and regular secret rotation.
Duplicate protection
Unique operation identifiers, recognition of repeated requests and safe recovery.
Operation history
Requests, changes, statuses, staff actions and reasons for decisions.
Operational control
Availability, response time, errors, connection status and outage alerts.
Testing
What must be tested before launch
Testing covers data, duplicates, errors, security, load and joint acceptance across all connected systems.
Data formats
Required fields, data types, formats, statuses, errors and update compatibility.
Repeated requests
Repeated operation identifiers, already processed requests and recovery after a failure.
Delays and unavailability
Slow responses, dropped connections, temporary queues and safe process continuation.
Security
Invalid keys and signatures, IP restrictions, expired access and attempts to perform prohibited actions.
Load and resilience
Peak request volume, queues, response times and system behaviour during temporary performance degradation.
Acceptance scenarios
End-to-end business processes, data transfer, reporting, operation history and launch criteria.
Documentation
Development and integration documentation
Documentation defines the integration process, requirements, access protection, events, errors, testing and API-specific details.
FAQ
Questions about custom API development
What is a custom API?
It is an API designed for the specific processes, data and systems of a project when an existing connector is not sufficient.
Can a legacy system without a modern API be connected?
Yes. A dedicated integration layer can be created for a database, file exchange, queue or another available interface.
What documentation is created?
Methods, fields, access protection, statuses, errors, events, examples, test scenarios and operating rules are documented.
What happens after launch?
After launch, availability, errors and connection health are monitored. API changes go through approval and retesting.
