What This Skill Does

Helps integrate REST APIs into GraphQL supergraphs using Apollo Connectors with @source and @connect directives. It walks through schema creation, composition validation, and connector execution using the rover CLI.

Removes the guesswork from Apollo Connectors syntax and selection mapping so you can wire up REST APIs to GraphQL without constantly referencing the spec.

When to use it

  • Wrapping a legacy REST endpoint in a GraphQL schema without writing resolver code
  • Adding a third-party REST API as an entity in an existing Apollo supergraph
  • Batching N+1 REST calls into a single request using $batch directives
  • Validating connector schemas locally with rover supergraph compose before deploying
  • Mapping nested JSON responses from a REST API into flat GraphQL types
