My answer is similar, but smaller: "GraphQL is an evolution of REST", and sometimes it's used as a frontend for a cluster of REST APIs.

Nevertheless I think it has quite an overhead and I recommend:

  • small/medium projects scope (1-2 clients) REST (or simple end points)
  • medium/big project scope (or if is a chance to grow exponentially or uses microservices) GraphQL
