The Vector API

Vector ships with a GraphQL API that allows you to interact with a running Vector instance. This page covers how to configure and enable Vector's API.

linkHow it works

linkGraphQL

Vector chose GraphQL for its API because GraphQL is self-documenting and type safe. We believe that this offers a superior client experience and makes Vector richly programmable through its API.

linkPlayground

Vector's GraphQL API ships with a built-in playground that allows you to explore the available commands and manually run queries against the API. This can be accessed at the /playground path. We also offer a public playground that you can explore without hosting your own Vector instance.
