Summary
The Mux Video API is a REST API that uses Basic Auth and HTTP requests to interact with its features. Unlike REST, GraphQL is an alternative approach where all requests are made through a single endpoint using a query language. OneGraph powers the Mux GraphQL API, allowing users to connect multiple services in one place and make queries against a single GraphQL endpoint. Gatsby, a React framework for building static sites, can utilize this GraphQL API by installing the gatsby-source-graphql plugin and configuring it to point to OneGraph.
