Laravel AI integration
Add assistants, document processing, semantic search and AI agents to your Laravel application using the Laravel AI SDK, with costs, privacy and quality under control.
Laravel services
Laravel API development and integrations
Your application is only as useful as the systems it talks to. We build secure, well-documented Laravel APIs for web and mobile apps, and connect your platform to the payment, CRM, accounting, AI and data services your business runs on.
Mobile app backends
APIs for iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native apps, with authentication, push notifications and offline-friendly design.
Secure by default
Token authentication, rate limiting, input validation and authorisation checks on every endpoint.
Documented and tested
OpenAPI documentation and automated tests, so other developers can build on your API with confidence.
Reliable integrations
Queued jobs, retries and logging, so a slow or failing third-party service never takes your app down.
APIs that other teams can build on
A good API is a product in its own right. Mobile developers, partners and your own front-end team all depend on it, so it needs to be predictable, secure and well documented. We design APIs with clear resources, consistent errors and versioning from the start, so you can add features without breaking the apps that rely on it.
Laravel is an excellent fit for this. Its API resources, form requests, policies and rate limiting give us secure, consistent endpoints with very little custom plumbing, and Laravel Sanctum handles token authentication for mobile apps and single-page front ends.
Integrations that do not break at 2am
Most integration problems are not about the happy path. They come from the third-party service that times out, changes its data or sends the same webhook twice. We build integrations to expect that:
- Queued jobs move slow calls out of the user's request.
- Retries with back-off handle temporary failures without manual work.
- Idempotency checks stop duplicate webhooks creating duplicate orders.
- Logging and alerts tell us when something needs attention.
On OnScreenDB, integrations with several film and TV data providers keep a large catalogue up to date automatically, so the site needs very little manual upkeep.
Connecting AI services
Many of the integrations we build now involve AI models: summarising documents, classifying support tickets or extracting data from uploads. These are integrations like any other, with the same need for queues, retries, logging and cost controls. Our Laravel AI integration service covers this in more depth.

Process
How it works
Map the data
We agree which systems need to talk, what data moves where and who is allowed to see it.
Design the contract
We design the endpoints and document them before building, so front-end and mobile teams can start in parallel.
Build and test
Endpoints, integrations and tests built together, with every change reviewed by a senior engineer.
Launch and monitor
Logging, alerts and dashboards show how the API and integrations are behaving in production.
Case study
OnScreenDB: A film and TV database that updates itself
A directory of films, TV shows and people that stays current automatically through API integrations, delivered in about 12 months.
Read the OnScreenDB case studyLarasoft had a really impressive depth of knowledge when it came to APIs and integrating them. I quickly realised they were the right team to help me build OnScreenDB.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you build the API for our mobile app?
Yes. Many of our projects pair a Laravel API with a mobile app, including Flutter and React apps. We can build the API for your existing mobile team or work with a mobile partner you choose.
Which systems can you integrate with Laravel?
Almost anything with an API. We have integrated payment providers such as Stripe and PayPal, accounting and CRM tools, mapping and booking services, film and media databases, and AI models from providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
What if the third-party system has no API?
Sometimes there is still a route, such as scheduled file exports, email parsing or a supported data feed. We will tell you honestly whether an integration is reliable enough to depend on.
Will our API be documented?
Yes. We produce OpenAPI documentation, which your developers and partners can browse and test, and we keep it up to date as the API changes.
