Can a graphql api be used in apollo?


Asked by Julius Vargas on Dec 04, 2021 FAQ



Using Apollo’s GraphQL client, we’ll be able to make requests to a GraphQL API similar to what we would expect with a REST-based request client. When fetching data with Next.js, you have a few options for how you want to fetch that data. First, you could go the client side route and make the request once the page loads.
Besides,
GraphQL simplifies the task of aggregating data from multiple sources or APIs and then resolving the data to the client in a single API call. Other API technologies such as REST would require multiple HTTP calls to access data from multiple sources. We made a custom demo for .
Subsequently, Because using GraphQL and especially Apollo client suite is so convenient, one would like to develop frontend apps in GraphQL. But the server you have to communicate with is…
Just so,
First, as said in the previous section, GraphQL requires sending JSON to the API in order to get data. This can look dumb but, using GraphQL on the client side often requires to use a dedicated library to tackle the language complexity - that’s why we often talk about Apollo GraphQL rather than just GraphQL.
Similarly,
Concerning GraphQL, the main goals of the project was to provide “A query language for your API”. Especially, allowing clients to specify what part of the data they need.
