The official APIs supported by Twingate are GraphQL APIs: GraphQL is a powerful design for APIs because it allows users to craft very specific queries and only retrieve the information needed for a given operation with no extra fluff.

The common challenge with GraphQL though is that it tends to be a bit more complex to figure out and is a bit less intuitive than your typical Rest APIs.

The good news is that the following video walkthroughs should get you started with our GraphQL APIs even if you are completely unfamiliar with GraphQL as a whole.
