Getting Started

Before you delve into the API documentation, ensure you are equipped with:

Key Concepts

REST and GraphQL

Our commitment lies in adopting the most suitable technologies to simplify developer integration. For io.flow, which is fine-tuned for core banking system integration, we employ REST for its familiarity and server-to-server interactions. For other services that prioritize speed, flexibility, and UI integration, we utilize GraphQL.

Please note that the io.network settlement system integrates the security features of io.vault, thus they share a common GraphQL API.

For more information on GraphQl head to the official GraphQL Foundation docs.

Core APIs

Our documentation includes a dedicated section for 'Core APIs'. This category encompasses services and features that span across products (often referred to as platform services). They consist of:

• Authentication - Secure OAuth authentication for API access.
• Notifications - System-wide notification access.
• Events - Access to system event logs.
• Settings - Configuration of system and user preferences.
