Will this use some API?
Probably a rest API, like always
reply
For extra points if there's gRPC with protos so there can be clientside typechecking :)
reply
We have a graphql API which I find superior to either.

Sweet, yeah, i never worked with graphql, so that's great to hear that it works!

It's a 10-100x improvement over REST. You hit one API endpoint with a query that's more or less "I want this data and for it to be shaped like this."
This is how I query for top users.
query TopUsers($cursor: String, $within: String!) {
topUsers(cursor: $cursor, within: $within) {
users {
name
amount
}
cursor
}
}
This is how I query for posts where
ItemFields is a reusable query fragment. query items($sub: String, $sort: String, $cursor: String) {
items(sub: $sub, sort: $sort, cursor: $cursor) {
cursor
items {
...ItemFields
}
}
}
