Hey! I cover that a bit ni a followup blog post :)

tl;dr: maybe you want OData, JSON-API, or one of the many other standards or practices that solve this simple problem as their super-set of functionality on top of the networking principles of REST.

Using GraphQL for this alone is rather nuclear, as you gain a lot with GraphQL but lose other stuff.

What do you lose? I actually use REST ATM but interested in GraphQL for my next project.
