gRPC API
========

Graphene's API consists of two main services:

* :doc:`/data_api/index`
* :doc:`/analysis_api/index`

These services are defined using `gRPC <https://grpc.io/>`_ and the service
definitions provided by Graphene enable enable generating API bindings in
the language of your choice.

gRPC uses `Protocol Buffers <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview>`_
to define the communication format between client and server.
