# API Offerings: REST and GraphQL

Our system supports two types of APIs: REST and GraphQL.

• The REST API provides a robust, resource-based interface, allowing clients to access and manipulate data through standard HTTP methods.
  It is ideal for straightforward data retrieval and modification.

• The GraphQL API, on the other hand, offers a more flexible query language, enabling clients to request exactly the data they need.
  This API is perfect for complex data interactions and reduces the amount of data transferred by specifying precise requirements.

Both APIs are designed to provide seamless access to our PIM system, catering to a wide range of integration needs and developer preferences.
