New to GraphQL?

GraphQL is a flexible data query language that allows you to design queries that match your use case. Opposed to making several REST API requests or over/under fetching data for your application, you craft a query to obtain the data you need.

GraphQL is sent as JSON using a standard HTTP request. This makes it possible for many different languages and frameworks capable of being able to execute GraphQL calls to the Alpaca Travel GraphQL API.
