Apollo Data Graph Platform— unify APIs, microservices, and databases into a data graph that you can query with GraphQL.

API Overview

Apollo is a unified GraphQL platform that enables developers to build, manage, and consume GraphQL APIs. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools, including a GraphQL server, client libraries, and a cloud service to streamline the development and operation of GraphQL applications. Apollo empowers developers to create scalable, efficient, and performant GraphQL APIs that seamlessly connect frontend and backend systems.

Apollo API overview: The Apollo platform offers a comprehensive set of APIs that enable developers to interact with the Apollo service and manage their GraphQL applications. These APIs include: 1) Documentation: Provides comprehensive documentation for all Apollo APIs, including API endpoints, request and response formats, and usage examples. 2) REST APIs: Allows developers to perform various operations through RESTful endpoints, such as creating and managing GraphQL schemas, deploying and managing GraphQL servers, and querying and mutating data. 3) Webhooks: Enables developers to subscribe to events and receive notifications when specific actions occur within their Apollo applications, such as schema changes or server deployments. 4) Rate limits: Enforces rate limits on API requests to prevent excessive usage and ensure fair access to the service.
