## AI overview

This tutorial demonstrates how Apollo Connectors can fetch data from REST APIs without custom GraphQL resolvers. It walks through a React currency-converter application using the Apollo GraphQL client, CurrencyAPI, Apollo Studio, and Rover CLI.

## Source excerpt

Writing resolvers for REST APIs has been a rite of passage for developers working with GraphQL, but what if there were an easier way? Meet Apollo Connectors. As shown in Figure 1, Apollo Connectors mitigate the need to write code that connects to and returns data from REST APIs, reducing code surface area and time so you can focus on the business problem you're trying to solve.
