API integrations

Overview

GraphiQL is a query tool available in FA Developer App. It features a GraphQL editor, as well as documentation for the available GraphQL endpoints. The tool can be used to define queries and mutations. 

GraphQL API provides many customization opportunities, for example:

  • Building an integration between FA and an external application. A good example of this would be an integration between FA and your client portal.

  • Building a custom JSReport (for details about custom reports, see the Reporting section). JSReports use GraphQL API to fetch the report data from FA Back.
