Summary

WorkOS has introduced a new GraphQL API that provides developers with direct access to data and mutations, allowing them to construct custom user interfaces without being constrained by the prebuilt Widgets previously offered. This API enables developers to fetch necessary fields in a single request, providing a more streamlined and efficient development process compared to traditional REST endpoints. The API retains a session-aware, client-side access model similar to Widgets, but without the predefined UI, supporting the complete lifecycle of user management, including queries and mutations for users, memberships, and invitations. Initially launched in closed beta, the API plans to expand its capabilities to include features like SSO, directory sync, audit logs, and RBAC, with future enhancements benefiting both the API and existing Widgets. Access to the API is currently limited to teams developing custom user management interfaces, who are encouraged to provide feedback on its schema and authentication model.
