What does Okta leverage when using User Sync?

The correct choice is that Okta leverages Graph APIs when using User Sync. Graph APIs are designed to efficiently handle complex queries and relationships, making them ideal for scenarios involving interconnected data, such as user attributes and organizational structures within identity management.

In the context of User Sync, which is responsible for synchronizing user identities and attributes from an existing directory or database to Okta, Graph APIs allow for seamless integration and retrieval of detailed information about users. This includes querying relationships between users and their roles, groups, and other attributes, thus facilitating better management of user data within the identity platform.

While other types of APIs, such as REST and SOAP APIs, play essential roles in various web services and data exchange processes, they do not provide the specific capabilities and advantages found in Graph APIs, particularly in handling relational data effectively.
