## AI overview

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Apollo's prebuilt REST Connectors to integrate the Space Devs Launch Library 2 REST API into a local GraphQL graph. It covers setting up Apollo Studio and Rover CLI, configuring credentials, running Apollo Router, downloading connector schema files, exploring the graph in Apollo Sandbox, and modifying a connector.

## Source excerpt

We've all been there: vague API docs, an outdated OpenAPI spec, and a half-buried list of endpoints that leave you guessing. With prebuilt REST Connectors, you skip the guesswork. Just download the schema files, run your graph locally, and start querying live data with GraphQL.
