Is there a GraphQL equivalent to the Events REST API endpoint?

Body

I am building some custom Dashboard like apps, which could benefit from the Events feed. I was hoping to use the GraphQL API (as it seems to be where its all headed). I was wondering what the GraphQL equivalent of the REST Events API might be?

And if there isn't one then is the REST API going to be supported well into the future.

Both rest and Graphql will be supported well into the future. Whilst it may still be poasible to retrieve some data through both APIs a lot of đạta may still only be queried from one or the other api

Thank you for your response. And good to know that both of them have a future.

I wan't able to find anything that suggested one way or the other, blog posts and articles about migration made me think that the GraphQL API designed to supersede the REST API.

It would be nice to be able to use one or the other, but as you point out that it might not be possible to get the data I am after (in the format I am after) via Graph.

Its a common question that others have hit and asked.
Depending on what đạta you need you may need to use a mix of APIs.
The Graphql can be a little more complex to get to grips with, but can also be more more performant and require less calls depending on what you are retrieving, as illustrated in the examples.
Both APIs are definetly coexisting and there are no plans to make everything in REST available through GraphQL.
