## AI overview

Apollo announces Apollo Connectors, a declarative, graph-based technology for orchestrating REST API calls. The article explains how API calls can be chained, parallelized, transformed, and handled for errors, timeouts, authentication, and authorization.

## Source excerpt

Today we are releasing Apollo Connectors, a major update that brings our declarative, graph-based orchestration technology to teams using REST APIs. Modern applications integrate dozens or even hundreds of different APIs. The task is significant. These APIs must be called in a precise manner and sequence. API calls need to be chained together, feeding the output of one into the next. In some cases, it's desirable to parallelize them for better performance.
