Braintree offers a GraphQL API at its own endpoint alongside the long-standing server SDKs that wrap an XML API. They talk to the same gateway but are not interchangeable in identifiers: GraphQL uses opaque global IDs while the SDKs use the short IDs shown in the control panel, and an ID from one is not directly usable in the other without decoding it.

Some newer capabilities appear in GraphQL first while some legacy operations exist only in the SDKs, so a mixed integration is sometimes unavoidable. Confirm by fetching one transaction through both and comparing the ID strings. Pick one API as the primary surface, and if both are needed store the SDK-style ID as the durable key, since that is what appears in the control panel and in settlement reports.
