Any benefit of using suite talk over building your own restlets?
s
You don't have to build SuiteTalk
Also, many integration tools have pre-built connectors for SuiteTalk.
However, we've built many integrations using a single endpoint (i.e. single restlet record and deployment and hence url) to serve any number of business operations. We call it the Mediator and it's similar to SuiteTalk in that the caller need only have one URL to which they send requests

Is it bad that I have a restlet endpoint that just runs suiteql for me?

In that case you might just use the REST api?
it supports running SuiteQL, though I don't recall if it's still in beta or not, if that matters to you

@Alan Fitch That's what I do - I use a custom RESTlet to handle the SuiteQL calls. In many cases, it is significantly faster than running the same query through SuiteTalk REST. I'm planning to release an open source RESTlet soon - think of it as the RESTlet version of the SuiteTalk Query Tool SuiteLet. If you're interested, let me know.

Yeah but I have a generic one that runs any suiteql that's passed in.
