Overview
Fluent provides both REST and GraphQL APIs. However, REST APIs are limited to specific Platform operations, while the GraphQL API provides the core Domain Model.
Key points
- Common Authentication Token: Both Platform REST and Domain GraphQL APIs utilize a shared authentication token, ensuring a unified authentication approach.
- Platform REST APIs: Various Platform-level APIs, including Event, Workflow, Job, Plugin, and User Action APIs, are implemented in REST format with version 4.1.
- GraphQL API Advantages: The actively supported GraphQL API offers significant benefits over REST, while deprecated Domain-based REST APIs are in maintenance mode for existing clients, with documentation available for reference.
API Authentication
