Traditional REST APIs are not always focused on the client. GraphQL is an alternative where the client has more power to ask for what they want and get exactly that back in a single call. In this course, Consuming a GraphQL API with Apollo Client and React, you’ll learn to consume and interact with GraphQL APIs from your frontend React application. First, you’ll explore writing queries to retrieve data from the GraphQL API. Next, you’ll learn more about the GraphQL Schema using API introspection techniques. Finally, you’ll learn how to write mutations to modify and update the GraphQL data. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to build frontend applications that can consume GraphQL API using the Apollo client.
