DIMO Check-in
API services consist of 2 major categories: GraphQL API and REST API. Of each category, there are several different services that your application may use.
Almost all of the services will require a Vehicle JWT as your application will tap into a specific user-owned vehicle, while the Identity API acts as the open catalog to the DIMO Network.
DIMO supports two core GraphQL API in Identity and Telemetry. GraphQL is a widely-recognized API querying language that outlines a data interface, independent of the system managing the data.
Benefits #1: A query to the GraphQL API gets developers predictable data and reduce over-fetching.
Benefits #2: Applications using the GraphQL API are faster and more stable because developers are in full control of the data received, not the server.
