GraphQL requests

Log an Issue

Magento GraphQL supports the HTTP GET and POST methods. You can send a query as a GET or POST request. Mutations must be POST requests. You can optionally send a GET query request in a URL. In these requests, you must specify query as the query string. You might need to encode the query, as shown below:

http://<host>/graphql?query=%7Bproducts(filter%3A%7Bsku%3A%7Beq%3A%2224-WB01%22%7D%7D)%7Bitems%7Bname%20sku%7D%7D%7D

The previous example is equivalent to the following query. You could send the query as either a GET or POST request,

  ) {
    items {
      name
      sku
    }
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "products": {
      "items": [
        {
          "name": "Voyage Yoga Bag",
          "sku": "24-WB01"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Some queries sent as a GET request can be cached. See GraphQL caching for more information.

Request headers

Magento accepts the following headers in a GraphQL request:

Header name Value Description
Authorization Bearer <authorization_token> A customer or admin token. Authorization tokens describes how to generate tokens.
Content-Currency A valid currency code, such as USD This header is required only if the currency is not the store view’s default currency.
Content-Type application/json Required for all requests.
Preview-Version A timestamp (seconds since January 1, 1970). Use this header to query products, categories, price rules, and other entities that are scheduled to be in a campaign (staged content). Staging is supported in Magento Commerce only.  
Store <store_view_code> The store view code on which to perform the request. The value can be default or the code that is defined when a store view is created.

Specify request headers in a GraphQL browser

GraphQL browsers, such as GraphiQL, allow you to enter a set of header name/value pairs. The following example shows an example customer authorization token and content type headers.

GraphiQL Authorization Bearer

Specify request headers with the curl command

Use the curl command with a separate -H argument to specify each request header. The following example uses the same request headers as those used in the GraphQL browser.

curl 'http://magento.config/graphql' -H 'Authorization: Bearer hoyz7k697ubv5hcpq92yrtx39i7x10um' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  --data-binary '{"query":"query {\n  customer {\n    firstname\n    lastname\n    email\n  }\n}"}'
