DeveloperWhat is GraphQL Dev?
With our GraphQL endpoint you retrieve exactly the data you want in one request, without unnecessary fields. This makes integrations faster and lighter than separate calls. Useful for developers who want efficient, custom-built integrations.
How does it work?
- Use your existing API key for access to the GraphQL endpoint.
- Describe in your request exactly which fields you want returned.
- Receive only that data in one go, neatly structured.
- Combine multiple data items in one request instead of many separate ones.
Use cases
Dashboard that shows leads, chats and statistics in one screen.
App that only retrieves open questions, nothing more.
Agency building custom reports for clients.
Mobile integration that needs to be economical with data.
Benefits
- Fewer requests, so faster and lighter integrations.
- You get exactly the fields you ask for, no bloat.
- Ideal for dashboards and apps that combine lots of data.
- Saves your developer time with complex integrations.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference with the REST API?
With REST you query fixed endpoints; with GraphQL you decide which fields you get back in one request. For complex or data-intensive integrations, GraphQL is often more efficient.
Do I have to choose between REST and GraphQL?
No, you can use both alongside each other with the same key. Choose what fits best for each integration.
