Why do you believe you need to combine them?

We have a REST API and GraphQL API. They both work well for their respective use cases and together satisfy our needs.

I would like to present them to the user as "here is our API" as opposed to "here are our somewhat complementing APIs and for the one you use these docs and do this and for the other one there's the docs here and you use it differently."

In that case couldn't that be done with different endpoints?

Yes, of course. However, it's still a bad user experience, I think.
