GraphQL DC

Request exactly the data you need, nothing more.

What is GraphQL DC?

With the GraphQL API you retrieve exactly the data you want in one request, without unnecessary fields. That makes integrations faster and more efficient, especially for apps and dashboards that combine a lot of data. Ideal for developers who want full control over what goes back and forth.

How does it work?

  1. Open the GraphQL environment in the Developer Centre.
  2. Build your query by only choosing the fields you need.
  3. Test the query live and see the result immediately.
  4. Build the query into your own application using your API key.

Use cases

Dashboard showing leads, chats and conversion in one view.
Mobile app that only fetches the strictly necessary data to stay fast.
Reporting tool that generates custom overviews for a client.
Webshop that combines customer and order data in one go.

Benefits

  • Less data traffic, faster apps.
  • One request instead of multiple separate calls.
  • Full control over which fields you get back.
  • Ideal for modern front-ends and dashboards.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference with the regular REST API?

With REST you get fixed sets of data back; with GraphQL you determine exactly which fields you want per request. This saves unnecessary data traffic and makes complex integrations clearer.

Which should I choose, REST or GraphQL?

For simple integrations, REST is often the quickest; for data-intensive apps and dashboards, GraphQL offers more flexibility. Both are available, so you can choose what fits.
