GraphQL API

Craft Pro provides an autogenerated GraphQL API for your content, which you can query to pull your content into separate applications, such as single-page apps (SPAs) or static site generators.

An example query and response

Query payload

{
  entries (section: "news", limit: 2, orderBy: "dateCreated DESC") {
    dateCreated @formatDateTime (format: "Y-m-d")
    title
    children {
      title
    }
    ... on news_article_Entry {
      shortDescription
      featuredImage {
        url @transform (width: 300, immediately: true)
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting Started

Before you begin, make sure that you’re running Craft Pro 3.3 or later and the enableGql setting has not been set to false.

Create Your API Endpoint

The first step to adding a GraphQL API to your project is to set up a public endpoint for it.

To do that, create a URL rule from config/routes.php that points to the graphql/api controller action. For example, the following URL rule would cause /api requests to route to the GraphQL API:

return [
    'api' => 'graphql/api',
    // ...
];

You can verify that your endpoint is configured correctly, try sending a {ping} query to it.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/graphql" -d '{ping}' http://my-project.test/api

(Replace http://my-project.test/api with the actual URL to your endpoint.)

If that comes back with the following JSON response, then your GraphQL API is up and running!

{"data":{"ping":"pong"}}

Define Your Schemas

Once you’ve created a GraphQL API endpoint, you need to tell Craft which content should be available from it. (No content is available by default.) You do that by defining a Schema.

Craft has two types of schemas:

  • The Public Schema defines which content should be available publicly.
  • You can also define multiple private schemas, which each have their own secret Access Token.

You can manage your schemas from the control panel, at GraphQL → Schemas. In addition to defining the scope of each schema, you can also give them expiration dates, or disable them.

::: tip When performing a GraphQL API request, the schema will be determined automatically based on the token that is supplied (if any). See below to learn how to do that. :::

Sending API Requests

Using the GraphiQL IDE

The easiest way to start exploring your GraphQL API is with the built-in GraphiQL IDE, which is available in the control panel from GraphQL → Explore.

The built-in GraphiQL IDE

Using Another IDE

Additional GraphQL IDEs are available as well:

::: tip When you are initially exploring the API, make sure that Dev Mode is enabled so the IDE can be informed about the entire schema available to it. :::

Sending Requests Manually

The GraphQL API can be queried in three ways:

  • Using a GET request, with the GraphQL query defined by a query parameter:
    curl \
      --data-urlencode "query={ping}" \
      http://craft32.test/api
    # or
    curl http://craft32.test/api?query=%7Bping%7D
  • Using a POST request with an application/json content type, with the GraphQL query defined by a query key:
    curl \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"query":"{ping}"}' \
      http://my-project.test/api
  • Using a POST request with an application/graphql content type, with the GraphQL query defined by the raw request body:
    curl \
      -H "Content-Type: application/graphql" \
      -d '{ping}' \
      http://my-project.test/api

Specifying Variables

If you need to specify any variables along with your query, then you must send request as a POST request with an application/json content type, and include a variables key in the JSON body alongside query.

curl \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "query": "query($id:[Int]) { entries(id: $id) { id, title } }",
        "variables": { "id": [1, 2, 3] }
      }' \
  http://my-project.test/api

Querying a Private Schema

The Public Schema will be used by default. To query against a different schema, pass its Access Token using an Authorization header.

curl \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/graphql" \
  -d '{entries{id}}' \
  http://my-project.test/api

Caching

All query results are cached, so that repeated queries can yield results faster. The GraphQL result cache does not have a sophisticated ruleset on invalidating the cache - if the site's content or structure changes, the entire cache is invalidated.

Craft has GraphQL result caching enabled by default, but it can be disabled with the enableGraphQlCaching config setting.

Interface Implementation

A defined type exists for each specific interface implementation. For example, if a “News” section has “Article” and “Editorial” entry types, in addition to the EntryInterface interface type, two additional types would be defined the GraphQL schema, if the token used allows it: news_article_Entry and news_editorial_Entry types.

Query Reference
