- REST Services
Alpha Anywhere allows you to create your own REST APIs. REST APIs can be used to allow third party applications or other Alpha Anywhere applications to interact with your application, including providing access to workflows and processes you have built as well as allowing access to SQL databases. You can also consume REST services in your Alpha Anywhere applications.
- Building a GraphQL Service to Expose Data in a SQL Database
GraphQL is a popular approach for defining APIs. Unlike REST APIs, which have multiple endpoints, a GraphQL API exposes a single endpoint that allows many different types of queries and mutations (a mutation is a method that changes data). Alpha Anywhere's built-in genie makes creating a GraphQL service (i.e. API) to expose data in a SQL database extremely easy.
