# API Playground user interface

The API Playground user interface in RSC uses the GraphiQL integrated development environment framework to run Rubrik GraphQL operations.

API Playground leverages the powerful user interface of the GraphiQL integrated development environment (IDE). Using the API Playground user interface, you can refer to the latest Rubrik GraphQL API documentation. The interface also provides an editor, which you can use to compose your queries and mutations, and a results area, where you can see the result of the API operation.

The following table describes the icons available on the user interface and the associated functionality. The Icon column refers to the icons using the text that appears when you hover over each icon.
