Learn about GraphQL
Intuit Ecosystem API uses the GraphQL API framework. Here’s a brief overview.
What’s GraphQL?
GraphQL is an API query language that simplifies client-side requests. Apps can do a lot of work with just a single query: it can query multiple resources and entities, request data in a specific format, or get the server to perform several operations.
“At its simplest, GraphQL is about asking for specific fields on objects.” GraphQL.org
All queries go to a single endpoint on the server. The server parses queries and only returns the requested data in the requested format.
