Custom APIs

Relatude has two APIs that can be used out of the box. But in some cases, a custom API can be a better solution. Since Relatude is built on .Net, you can easily create other APIs for your specific use case.

Rest APIs

Developers unfamiliar with Relatude often inquire about a Rest API. But we have decided to not provide a Rest API out of the box. But it is really simple to create your own Rest API using .Net and Relatude.

We intentionally chose OData and GraphQL instead of a traditional REST API for our CMS. Both technologies offer more flexibility and efficiency for modern application development. OData provides a standards-based approach with powerful querying and filtering out of the box, while GraphQL gives clients fine-grained control over exactly the data they need, reducing over-fetching and under-fetching issues common with REST. Together, they cover a wide range of use cases with less complexity, better performance, and alignment with industry best practices.

Other APIs

It is quick and easy to create your own custom APIs if yoy want. Relatude is well suited for any API you want to create.
