API
Use the Marketcube API to create your tailored and highly customised experiences for your vendors
Marketcube Headless is the API only version of the hugely successful self-service version of Marketcube. As platform Marketcube is constantly looking to innovate and for our headless offering we had introduced GraphQL.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs. Our GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in our API, giving our clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more.
More than just a REST replacement, the graph is a unified representation of all your data, services, and digital capabilities. The graph enables app developers to delete thousands of lines of boilerplate code, move fast without waiting on backend teams, and keep features consistent across web and mobile platforms.
