This lesson introduces the basics of querying the API, structuring requests, and retrieving the exact data you need—so your apps can interact dynamically with boards, users, items, and more. Whether you’re building custom views, integrations, or automations, mastering GraphQL is essential to working within the monday ecosystem.

• Understand the fundamentals of GraphQL and how it differs from REST.

• How to write and structure queries using the monday.com API playground.

• Explore how apps retrieve and manipulate monday data through GraphQL
