Boost Your Data Querying Capabilities: GraphQL Now Supported with Lingk

Mar 8

Announcing GraphQL Support on Lingk's Data Integration Platform.

Lingk is excited to announce the addition of GraphQL support to our integration platform. Whether you're working with Salesforce, Canvas, Ellucian Ethos, or other systems, GraphQL support gives you more flexibility and control over your data integrations.

What is GraphQL?

GraphQL is a query language for APIs that was developed by Facebook. It provides a more efficient and powerful way of querying and retrieving data than traditional REST APIs. With GraphQL, developers can specify exactly what data they need and get it in a single request. This reduces the number of round-trips to the server, resulting in faster and more efficient data transfers.

Why GraphQL on the Lingk Platform?

At Lingk, we believe that APIs are critical to advancing an organization’s digital transformation. APIs enable applications to easily integrate with other systems and share data in a secure and scalable way. However, we also recognize that the current state of API development can be fragmented and can be difficult to work with. While many REST APIs work efficiently in certain patterns, they can perform less efficiently when trying to access data in bulk or when applying filters to solve for critical business cases.

GraphQL provides much more flexible and efficient ways to access data—making it even easier for developers to integrate with the platforms they use. By supporting this powerful query language on the Lingk Platform, we hope to make it easier for developers to unlock new patterns, enable faster data queries, and build smarter integration recipes. With this new addition, we are creating an even more robust and intuitive platform, making Lingk the ultimate hub for fast, simple, and secure data integrations.
