Efficiently connected:
What is an interface?
In data processing, an interface or API (Application Programming Interface) is a boundary across which two or more separate components of a computer system exchange information. Programming interfaces are therefore responsible for data integration, data connection and data synchronization across different systems. Data exchange between your online store or IT system and all connected services (e.g. marketplaces, search or comparison services, payment providers, PIM systems or company ERP) also takes place via interfaces. In this respect, APIs can be described as the technical basis for effective digital business processes that contribute to the optimization of your company's internal technical processes.
The implementation of customized solutions offers you numerous advantages:
Existing systems and new applications work together harmoniously through interfaces. Interface programming makes it possible to integrate new technologies and solutions quickly, which increases your ability to innovate.
APIs allow uncomplicated integration of third-party tools and cloud solutions. With well-designed interfaces, you can easily expand or adapt your systems without having to rebuild the entire infrastructure.
Manual tasks can be minimized, saving both time and costs. Sources of error are also reduced as manual input is no longer necessary.

Flexible & secure: Custom
interface programming by 426
From the very beginning, one of our specialties has been developing customized interfaces that are always tailored to your business needs. With us, you get everything from a single source. - As API experts, our developers support you every step of the way and offer comprehensive services for connecting your IT systems:
We analyze your entire IT landscape and, taking all components into account, find the right solution for your requirements.
Whether online shop, CRM, cloud solutions, PIM systems, or ERP – we ensure that all applications are seamlessly connected.
We analyze your existing connections, optimize their performance, and resolve security risks.
We don't leave you alone after implementation. We offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your interfaces always function smoothly. To identify disruptions in advance and provide you with rapid support in the event of problems with your IT system, we monitor your interfaces with our reliable monitoring and security system.
< types of interfaces >
We program the following types of interfaces for you:
Web APIs: REST (Representational State Transfer), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), GraphQL, ODATA - Open Data Protocol
Library APIs: SAP® APIs, RFC - Remote Function Call
File Exchange APIs: FTP & SFTP
Database APIs: e.g., JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), or direct connections to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and ORACLE
Internal vs. External APIs: Internal (Private APIs), External (Public APIs), Interfaces to Partners, Salesforce, Unzer

Our middleware solution: 426Connect
We work with our in-house developed middleware software 426Connect. This tool is both middleware and a connection platform for ERP systems, PIM systems, CRM systems, payment providers, search engines, price comparisons and marketplaces. We therefore offer fast adaptation to the components that best meet your requirements. Thanks to the modular and centralized architecture, our 426Connect software can reduce costs and improve your server performance. Our solutions are more than just standard: In contrast to working with classic 1:1 interface tools, we can also aggregate data between multiple sources - we not only connect a to b, but also a+b to c or a to b and c.
TO 426CONNECT< security >
Security is a top priority at our API development company
WE THEREFORE TAKE THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS INTO ACCOUNT DURING API DEVELOPMENT:
- Token authentication for the endpoints provided (e.g. for live price determination)
- Access via IP only for authorized systems
- Rate limiting system and bot management (ModSecurity)
- Disaster recovery infrastructure with redundant servers

What our customers say about the custom interface programming of 426:
< customer voices >
“We were looking for someone who could efficiently combine a store system and our product information management (PIM). That's where 426 came in. The 426 team connected the two systems using a specially developed interface. This is constantly monitored by the developers and a solution is proactively suggested in the event of error messages. Exactly what our team needed!”
