Exploring the GraphQL API in the ArmorCode ASPM Platform

Speaking with organizations around the globe we’ve seen firsthand how businesses struggle with the limitations of traditional REST APIs. That’s because traditional REST APIs often require multiple endpoints for different types of data, and this ultimately leads to increased complexity and inefficiency. This also means AppSec engineers (and anyone else trying to query data) have had to spend extra time and effort to get the answers they’re looking for.

Introducing GraphQL for the ArmorCode ASPM Platform

For four years ArmorCode has been enabling organizations to stop chasing vulnerabilities and start reducing risk with an AI-powered ASPM platform. The system reduces risk by identifying connections and creating clarity from the increasing deluge of overwhelmingly complex security data. Since speed and scalability are key elements of this AI data fusion, ArmorCode recently delivered a GraphQL API Interface designed to simplify data queries and provide contextual insights with ease. This powerful Graph Query Language (GraphQL) interface opens up a world of possibilities for our users, enhancing productivity and helping drive business value.

What can you do with the ArmorCode GraphQL API interface?

• Simplified data queries: Traditional REST API calls can be complex and often require multiple requests to gather all the needed information. With our GraphQL API, you can retrieve all necessary data in a single request, making the process more efficient and less time-consuming.
• Customized data retrieval: GraphQL allows you to specify exactly what data you need and in what structure, reducing the amount of irrelevant data transmitted. This leads to faster responses and a more streamlined data-handling process.
• Dynamic and flexible queries: Unlike REST APIs, which are rigid and require predefined endpoints, GraphQL APIs offer dynamic query capabilities. This flexibility allows you to modify and adapt your queries on the fly, making it easier to respond to evolving business needs.
• Contextual insights: The GraphQL API is designed to answer contextual questions about your data. 
• Efficient resource usage: By reducing the number of requests and the amount of data transferred, our GraphQL API helps optimize the use of resources.
