Yuri, thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

I’m an intermediate developer, at best. I’ve done backend work via REST lots of times but never used GraphQL. When I switched over to Fibery, I have to admit I found the REST API to be confusing. (I still have trouble accepting that we aren’t using the terms “database” and “records”.)

Anyway, I took a look into the GraphQL API and, from what I can see, Fibery was meant for this. It’s so much simpler than the REST API. The trouble was, for someone unfamiliar like me, Fibery’s official GraphQL docs are not ideal. This was a problem because I knew nothing about GraphQL. I was about to give up and jump ship to Baserow (which has wonderful docs and an amazing query builder tool!) when I stumbled upon your guide. I’m still tumbling around a bit, but I’m feeling much more confident! :slight_smile:

Thank you!

It looks like Fibery team saw this, so that’s good. But my god, the part I bolded above, come on guys! I’ve run into the exact same pain myself recently. The official docs need work.
