Graph QL API in APIC developer portal should include features for better consumer experience

This initiative aims to improve the API journey for two distinct user groups: Prospective Consumers (investigators) and Existing Subscribers. The goal is to bridge the gap between initial discovery and active development by refining documentation and functionality.

Here is the summary of the planned enhancements:

1. For Prospective Consumers (Discovery)

The focus here is on transparency and clarity to help users evaluate if the API meets their needs before they commit to a subscription.

Schema Visibility: Providing clear access to available data types, structures, and endpoints.

Query Documentation: Offering a comprehensive view of available queries and parameters so users can understand the API's capabilities upfront.

2. For Existing Subscribers (Utility)

The focus for current users is on reliability and interactivity to streamline their development workflow.

Functional "Try It" Feature: Polishing the interactive sandbox environment so users can test live calls without friction.

Bug Resolution: Identifying and fixing known issues within the consumer interface to ensure a stable, professional experience.

3. Strategic Goal

By addressing the specific "nice-to-have" features and technical debt (bugs) detailed in the attached document, we would like to create a seamless end-to-end experience—from the first "investigative" click to daily API integration.
