Frontend Pltaform Won't Support GraphQL, Only REST APIs

Hani · February 16, 2021, 8:42pm

Hey,

Planning on building a customer’s project backend on 8Base but their existing frontend platforms don’t support GraphQL, only REST APIs.

They accept external source integration via REST APIs only.

How would you approach this? Forget about using 8Base altogether for an alternative or is there a way?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated from anyone that’s been through this already and/or @sebastian.scholl

Thanks.

As far as I know you can use REST with GraphQL by making everything a POST and then putting your query or mutation in the body

You can also set up Webhook functions, which use normal GET|POST|PUT|DELETE verbs and custom endpoint paths.
