RapidQL

What if you could combine the power GraphQL queries with REST APIs and databases? That's the premise of RapidQL, helping you join, combine and aggregate APIs just in one call. This is a very appealing project that could help developers build more complex calls!

Super useful, thank you!

Hey hunters! 👋 The inspiration for RapidQL is to make it easy for developers to simultaneously make requests to APIs as well as databases, defining only the fields you need returned from each and avoiding expensive additional round trips. Queries made to databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB can take advantage of aggregations like count and average. These results can be fed into the next query in the RapidQL statement. Here’s a tip: you can also connect to more than 10,000 public APIs on RapidAPI's Marketplace. RapidQL itself is a JSON-like query language implemented in JavaScript. Just `npm install rapidql` to download it, then check out the documentation to see how to run your first query. Happy to answer questions and hear any ideas! - Alex

We are so excited that RapidQL is live! To celebrate the launch, we'll be highlighting and sharing any projects that you build over the next few weeks! Here’s how you can join in: 1. Take a look at the RapidQL docs 2. Create an example RapidQL call on CodePen 3. Tweet us your best ideas, mentioning @Rapid_API and #RapidQL. Include a link to the pen and a screenshot, if possible. We’ll retweet all of the most useful, the funniest, and the most complex queries you build! 🙌🐙

it looks very promising. Question if i need to make 4 queries against RapidAPI's and each usually take 6 seconds; if i build in RapidQL will the 4 queries fire concurently so I will get the results in how long? I understand hard to answer but best guess please
