For Developers

Build faster with auto-generated APIs, comprehensive SDKs, and developer-friendly tools.

GraphQL

The APIs - GraphQL

Dataceen GraphQL queries access not just the properties of one node but also smoothly follow relationships between them. While typical REST APIs require loading from multiple URLs, GraphQL APIs get all the data your app needs in a single request.

The query language

The Dataceen APIs contain an automatically generated query language implemented using the GraphQL standard. There are Find-methods that take filter-parameters, and what properties can be filtered on is determined by the model setup. This assures that you as a developer, don't risk filtering data on properties that haven't been properly indexed.

Example GraphQL:

query { 
    FindCar( size: 10, where: {  or: [  { Brand: { eq: "Toyota" } }, { ModelYear: { gte: 2024 } } ] } ) {
        Brand
        Model
        LicensePlate
    }
}

Client languages

Dataceen can automatically generate code in different programming languages, for such languages there will be little or no need for learning GraphQL. Today, support exists for C#, Java and Kotlin, and more languages will follow.

Example C#:

var result = await _client.FindCarNodesAsync(10, null, 
    q=>q.Where(x => x.Brand == "Toyota" || x.ModelYear >= 2024), 
    f=>f.Fields() );

Documentation

Dataceen automatically generates comprehensive API documentation and code examples, take the short developer tour to discover more.

Developer Tools

There are several tools available to be used when testing Dataceen APIs, and using them will give you a live API experience with code intelligence. In the tutorials we will use 'GraphQL Playground Chrome Extension' to show the APIs.
