I will build a symfony rest API jwt, openapi


About this gig
Are you building a web application and need a robust, well-structured backend API? You're in the right place.
I specialize in building production-grade REST APIs using Symfony (6/7), PHP 8.x, and Doctrine ORM following industry best practices and clean architecture principles.
What I'll build for you:
- RESTful endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
- JWT or OAuth2 authentication & role-based authorization
- Doctrine ORM entities, migrations & repositories
- Request validation, serialization & error handling
- OpenAPI / Swagger documentation (NelmioApiDocBundle or API Platform)
- Unit & functional tests with PHPUnit
- Docker-ready local development setup
Tech stack:
- Symfony 6 / 7 + PHP 8.1+
- Doctrine ORM + PostgreSQL or MariaDB
- Docker Compose
I've built dozens of Symfony APIs for SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise clients. I write clean, PSR-compliant, maintainable code with full documentation, so your team can continue development confidently.
Delivery includes full source code, README with setup instructions, Swagger UI, and an optional deployment guide.
Please message me before ordering so we can confirm scope and make sure your project is a great fit.

FAQ
Do I need to know Symfony or PHP to work with you?
Not at all. Many of my clients are project managers, startup founders, or frontend developers who just need a reliable backend. I'll handle all the technical decisions, explain things in plain language, and deliver a well-documented API your team can work with — regardless of their PHP experience.
Can you integrate the API with my existing frontend or mobile app?
Yes. The APIs I build follow REST conventions and are fully documented with Swagger/OpenAPI, so any frontend (React, Vue, Angular) or mobile app (iOS, Android) can connect to them without issues. If you share your frontend stack upfront, I'll tailor the response structure to match it exactly.
What happens if I need more endpoints than my package includes?
No problem — just message me before ordering and I'll put together a custom offer that fits your exact scope. I always recommend discussing requirements upfront so there are no surprises mid-project. For larger or ongoing projects, I'm also open to discussing a longer-term arrangement.
Will the API be secure and ready for production use?
Yes. Every API includes JWT authentication, input validation, proper HTTP status codes, and environment-based config so secrets stay out of your codebase. Security is built in from the start, not added later.
Can you work with my existing database or codebase?
Yes. I can integrate with existing PostgreSQL, MariaDB, or MySQL databases and build on top of existing Symfony or PHP codebases. Please share your repo and schema before ordering so I can assess the scope.
