Frequently Asked Questions

1Is API development good for freelancing?
API development has great scope for freelancing, as it is an area you don’t find many people working in. The need to create efficient and secure APIs that can be used to add features to an existing application is very high, and this is a preferred way rather than rewriting the code itself. This means that the demand for API developers is very high.
2How to become a freelance API developer?
To become a freelance API developer, you will need the necessary training, and you will also need to have a good portfolio, with a list of strong projects you have been associated with and several languages and frameworks you have worked on. These projects will help companies understand if you have the necessary skills to work freelance as an API developer.
3How do freelance API developers make money?
Freelance API developers make money by taking on assignments such as creation of an API for companies that need them or integrating services and data with the APIs. Whatever they are asked to do, they will need to complete these assignments on time and as per the guidelines set by the company to be eligible for payment from the company.
