help Supabase Edge API FAQ
Is Supabase Edge API actually a GraphQL API?
Supabase exposes a GraphQL API at /graphql/v1 through the pg_graphql extension, which reflects the project's Postgres schema automatically. Supabase also provides a separate REST API through PostgREST.
What are Supabase Edge Functions used for?
They are server-side TypeScript functions running on Supabase's Deno-compatible Edge Runtime, not database tables. Supabase lists webhooks, Stripe integrations, third-party APIs, and custom endpoints as common uses.
How do authentication and data security work with Supabase API?
Supabase Auth issues JWTs, and Postgres Row Level Security uses the request's role and claims to decide which rows can be read or changed. You still need to enable RLS and write policies for exposed tables because Auth alone does not make every table private.
