GraphQL API - Introduction

Introduction

Introduction to GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for APIs. It differs from conventional APIs in the sense that it gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more. Emaildrop chose GraphQL because it not only offers our clients the capibility to perform a number of varied task from a single endpoint but complete flexibity with regards to what they want returned from their request. You can learn more about GraphQL at https://graphql.org/.

Making requests

The easiest way to make requests to Emaildrop's GraphQL server is to head over to our GraphQL explorer which can be found at https://api.emaildrop.io/graphql. However, eventually you'll want to make request programatically. You can do this using client libraries. We recommend using Apollo Client if you're working with Javascript. A list of client libraries for different languages can be found on the official GraphQL website.

NoteAll of Emaildrop's GraphQL queries, mutations and subsriptions are public, so authentication is not required. As a result, you can get started immediately using our API to recieve, delete, subscribe, and view emails.

REST API support

Emaildrop has no plans to support a REST API
