GraphQL Data Hub

EASY CONNECTIVITY WITH GRAPHQL QUERY LANGUAGE

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE TO TRANSFORM AND PREPARE DATA FOR INPUT AND OUTPUT CHANNELS

Data delivery and data consumption with Ublion GraphQL Data Hub

GraphQL is a query language officially released by FaceBook for APIs. It provides a complete and understandable description of the data in the Ublion API. With GraphQL, Ublion clients ask exactly for what they need and nothing more.

Ublion GraphQL Data Hub is based on Ublion APIs for connectivity with channels, files, software and applications for electronic invoicing. Use our standard connectors or develop your own.

Ublion GraphQL Data Hub supports GraphQL Playground, but you can connect any tool. The GraphQL Playground is built on top of GraphiQL —so at the core you can expect similar functionality. However, the Playground offers a lot more features to enable better development workflows.

Ublion GraphQL Data Hub includes:

Simple and easy-to-configure user interface
Combine many resources in a single request.
Connect different input and output channel technologies
Import and export data from and into Ublion in different formats
Automated, reusable data pipelines for scale and efficiency
Deploy it anywhere— on premise, private, and managed cloud services

Ublion GraphQL Data Hub is your universal tool to get data in and out the Ublion platform. No matter the industry standard, proprietary, or legacy formats.

Send a GraphQL query to the Ublion API and get exactly what you need, nothing more and nothing less.

GraphQL vs REST

REST requires loading from multiple URLs, GraphQL gets all the necessary data in a single request. This makes apps using GraphQL ultra fast.

Rapid product development

Developers get features like caching, real time or optimistic updates and redesign apps without touching the backend.

Describe what you need

Ublion GraphQL Data Hub is organized in terms of types and fields, not endpoints.

Schema stitching

Combine and connect multiple GraphQL APIs and merge them into a single one. Clients only deal with a single API endpoint.

Avoid over/under fetching

GraphQL clients dictate the shape of the response objects returned by the API and retrieve exactly the data they need from the API.

Generate documentation

GraphQL let you auto-generate documentation based on the schema that defines the API.

At the moment, Ublion GraphQL Data Hub enables you to query your invoices and orders and for each of them pull back the fields and properties you require.

Instant access

Provide your users with instant access to Ublion transactions directly from their iOS/Android smartphone or web browser. Offer a real-time feed of every transaction, regardless the volumes.

Avoid API gateway

Get data from different sources and then organize it into a structure that makes sense for your users. Handling this in a normal REST environment would require an API gateway.

Easy integration for developers

Query for exactly the data you want. Select only one or two pieces of data from an API response, enrich endpoint data or decrease API calls.

We are betting that our customers will adopt GraphQL because they are evolving to support progressive web apps to publish data from different sources as Analytics, ERP, channels, systems and other touch points. We believe that GraphQL is one technology that’s fueling this evolution. It’s a game changer for our customers, with advantages such as self-documenting, stitching, declarative data fetching, no over-fetching of data and query multiple backends asynchronously without having to write custom promise logic that ends up in callback hell.

The GraphQL concept is simple for our customers: before they start connecting to Ublion, they draft schemas based on the existing GraphQL types from where the back-end and front-end teams can work independently.
