Convert Existing Program Into Automation API
Budget: £5,000 – £10,000 GBP
I have a functioning stand-alone program that I trigger manually today. To remove the extra clicks and let other internal scripts call it automatically, I want the same logic exposed through a clean, well-documented API.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Review the current codebase with me so you fully understand the inputs, processing steps, and outputs.
• Wrap that logic behind HTTP endpoints that I can hit from other services. I’m flexible on style—REST, GraphQL, or even SOAP—so choose whichever one best fits the code and keeps maintenance straightforward.
• Return structured responses (JSON or XML) along with clear error handling so downstream automation can act on the results.
• Add lightweight authentication (token or key) so only approved processes can call the service.
• Provide concise documentation and an example call (cURL or Postman collection) that shows a complete request/response round trip.
• Deliver deployable code plus setup instructions for a standard Linux environment so I can spin it up on a small VM and schedule tasks around it.
Once the API is live and tested, the program’s core function will be fully automated; no more manual runs. If this sounds straightforward to you and you can move quickly, let’s talk details and timeline.
