Introduction

Welcome to the GraphQL API documentation for the YSCP. This section will guide you through the various aspects of our GraphQL API, providing you with the tools and knowledge to interact with our platform programmatically.

What is GraphQL?​

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. Unlike REST APIs, GraphQL gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, making it possible to get all the required data in a single request.

Why Use YSCP GraphQL API?​

Our GraphQL API offers a range of features designed to enhance your development experience:

  • Flexible Data Retrieval: Request exactly the data you need, no more, no less
  • Single Endpoint: All operations go through a single endpoint
  • Strong Typing: The schema provides clear expectations about the data structure
  • Introspection: Explore the API capabilities through introspection
  • Efficient Data Loading: Reduce network overhead by fetching only what you need
