Craft Pro provides a GraphQL (opens new window) API you can use to work with your content in separate applications like single-page apps (SPAs) and static site generators.

Getting Started

Make sure you’re running Craft Pro 3.3 or later and the enableGql setting is not set to false.

Because GraphQL is self-documenting, you can jump right into Craft’s included GraphiQL IDE from the control panel and interactively build and execute queries. Querying from the control panel gives you full access to data that’s available, unlike queries from the outside that require an endpoint and appropriate permissions.

Examples

Query

Here’s what a query for two news entries might look like, complete with a formatted dateCreated and custom-transformed featureImage:

• GraphQL
• JSON Response

{
  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)
      }
    }
  }
}

Relations

You can use relational arguments like relatedToAssets and relatedToEntries to limit results based on relationships to other elements. Their respective types (referenced below) look like [*CriteriaInput], where * will be the name of the target element, and you can pass an array of one or more objects each having the same arguments you’d use in an element query.

We could use the relatedToCategories argument, for example, to narrow our previous example’s news articles to those related to an “Announcements” category:

{
  entries (section: "news", relatedToCategories: [{slug: "announcements"}]) {
    title
  }
}

See Relations for more on Craft’s relational field types.

Mutation

Here’s a mutation, where we’re using the GraphQL API to save a new entry:

• GraphQL
• JSON Response

mutation saveEntry($title: String, $slug: String) {
  save_news_article_Entry(title: $title, slug: $slug) {
    title
    slug
    dateCreated @formatDateTime (format: "Y-m-d")
  }
}

# query variables:
{
  "title": "Craft 3.5 Supports GraphQL Mutations",
  "slug": "craft-graphql-mutations"
}

Setting Up Your API Endpoint

By default, none of your content is available outside of Craft via GraphQL. In order to send GraphQL queries to Craft, we need to establish an endpoint for receiving them and an appropriate set of permissions with a token.

Create a GraphQL Route

You’ll need to establish a route that provides a public endpoint for the GraphQL API.

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',
    // ...
];

Craft sets an access-control-allow-origin: * header by default on GraphQL responses; consider limiting that for security using the allowedGraphqlOrigins setting.

Pretending your endpoint is http://my-project.tld/api, you can verify that it’s configured correctly by sending a {ping} query to it:

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

If you get a pong in your response, your GraphQL API is up and running!

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

The ping test works for any endpoint; content queries depend on your schema setup.

Define Your Schemas

Once you’ve created a GraphQL API endpoint, you need to tell Craft which content should be available from it. You do that by defining a Schema.

Craft has two types of schemas:

1. A single Public Schema that defines which content should be available publicly.
2. Any number of private schemas you create, each having its own secret Access Token.

Any GraphQL API request without a token will use the Public Schema. Craft with otherwise use a valid token to determine the relevant schema.

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

Sending API Requests

Using the GraphiQL IDE

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

The included GraphiQL IDE preselects a special “Full Schema” option for optimal exploration. You can change the applied schema from its dropdown menu.

Using Another IDE

Additional GraphQL IDEs are available as well:

• Insomnia (opens new window)
• GraphQL Playground (opens new window)
• GraphQL Playground online (opens new window)

When you’re initially exploring the API, make sure devMode 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:

1. A GET request with the GraphQL query defined by a query parameter:

curl \
  --data-urlencode "query={ping}" \
  http://my-project.tld/api
# or
curl http://my-project.tld/api?query=%7Bping%7D

2. A POST request with an application/json content type and the GraphQL query defined by a query key:

curl \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{ping}"}' \
  http://my-project.tld/api

3. A POST request with an application/graphql content type and the GraphQL query defined by the raw request body:

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

Specifying Variables

If you need to specify any variables (opens new window) 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.tld/api

Querying a Private Schema

The Public Schema is 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.tld/api

If you’re unable to query a private schema because of a “missing authorization header”, make sure Craft received it from the web server with a quick post to a test template:

{{ craft.app.getRequest().getHeaders().has('authorization')
  ? 'auth token present ✓'
  : 'auth token missing!' }}

Apache strips Authorization headers by default, which can be fixed by enabling CGIPassAuth (opens new window) or adding the following to your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

Caching

Query results are cached by default to speed up subsequent queries, and you can disable that caching with the enableGraphQlCaching setting.

The entire GraphQL cache is purged for any schema changes, otherwise Craft only purges caches based on content changes relevant to a given query. The more specific your query, the less likely its cache will be cleared when an entry is saved or deleted. For example:

• If the query includes the id argument, its caches will only be cleared when that entry is saved or deleted.
• If the query includes type or typeId arguments, its caches will only be cleared when entries of the same type are saved or deleted.
• If the query includes section or sectionId arguments, its caches will only be cleared when entries in the same section are saved or deleted.

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.

Mutations

GraphQL mutations provide a way to modify data. The actual mutations will vary depending on the schema and what it allows. There are common mutations per GraphQL object type and additional type-specific mutations.

Mutations take the data as arguments. In this example, we’re using the type-specific save_news_article_Entry to save a new entry. We’re providing a title and slug and formatting the dateCreated that’s populated automatically when the entry is saved:

• GraphQL
• JSON Response

mutation saveEntry($title: String, $slug: String) {
  save_news_article_Entry(title: $title, slug: $slug) {
    title
    slug
    dateCreated @formatDateTime (format: "Y-m-d")
  }
}

# query variables:
{
  "title": "Craft 3.5 Supports GraphQL Mutations",
  "slug": "craft-graphql-mutations"
}

While mutations are mostly straightforward, there are a few important cases to consider.

Matrix Fields in Mutations

GraphQL’s limited input types can be challenging with complex Matrix fields.

We recommend reading how to save matrix field data in entry forms first if you’ve not saved Matrix field form data.

Matrix input types generally have the following structure:

Field	Description
sortOrder	A list of all the block IDs, including any new blocks, in the order you’d like to persist after the mutation.
blocks	A list of all the actual blocks. You can omit any blocks that aren’t modified, but they must be represented on the sortOrder field or they’ll be deleted.

An actual block input type will contain fields for all the possible block types for this field, however, the first non-empty block will be considered in the order that the block types are defined on the field.

As an example, let’s pretend we have a Matrix field with a handle ingredients.

The field has three block types: spirit, mixer, and garnish. Each block type has one or two fields:

ingredients
├── spirit
│   ├── spiritName (Plain Text)
│   └── ounces (Number)
├── mixer
│   ├── mixerName (Plain Text)
│   └── ounces (Number)
└── garnish
    └── garnishName (Plain Text)

These are all the GraphQL input types Craft generates for this Matrix field:

Type Name	Type Description
ingredients_MatrixInput	Input type for the Matrix field, containing sortOrder and blocks.
ingredients_MatrixBlockContainerInput	Input type that represents the block, in this case containing spirit, mixer, and garnish.
ingredients_spirit_MatrixBlockInput	Input type for the spirit block, containing spiritName and ounces.
ingredients_mixer_MatrixBlockInput	Input type for the mixer block, containing mixerName and ounces.
ingredients_garnish_MatrixBlockInput	Input type for the garnish block, containing garnishName.

Those input types would look like this in GraphQL Schema Definition Language (SDL) (opens new window):

input ingredients_MatrixInput {
  sortOrder: [QueryArgument]!
  blocks: [ingredients_MatrixBlockContainerInput]
}

input ingredients_MatrixBlockContainerInput {
  spirit: ingredients_spirit_MatrixBlockInput
  mixer: ingredients_mixer_MatrixBlockInput
  garnish: ingredients_garnish_MatrixBlockInput
}

input ingredients_spirit_MatrixBlockInput {
  # ... common Matrix Block fields ...
  spiritName: String
  ounces: Number
}

input ingredients_mixer_MatrixBlockInput {
  # ... common Matrix Block fields ...
  mixerName: String
  ounces: Number
}

input ingredients_garnish_MatrixBlockInput {
  # ... common Matrix Block fields ...
  garnishName: String
}

A mutation saving a new entry with multiple Matrix blocks might look like this:

• GraphQL
• JSON Response

mutation saveEntry(
  $title: String,
  $slug: String,
  $authorId: ID,
  $ingredients: [ingredients_MatrixBlockContainerInput],
  $sortOrder: [QueryArgument]
) {
  save_cocktails_cocktails_Entry(
    title: $title,
    slug: $slug,
    authorId: $authorId,
    ingredients: { blocks: $ingredients, sortOrder: $sortOrder }
  ) {
    title
    slug
    authorId
    dateCreated @formatDateTime (format: "Y-m-d")
    ingredients {
      __typename
        ...on MatrixBlockInterface {
          id
        }
        ... on ingredients_spirit_BlockType {
          spiritName
          ounces
        }
        ... on ingredients_mixer_BlockType {
          mixerName
          ounces
        }
        ... on ingredients_garnish_BlockType {
          garnishName
        }
     }
  }
}

# query variables:
{
  "title": "Gin and Tonic",
  "slug": "gin-tonic",
  "authorId": 1,
  "sortOrder": ["new1", "new2", "new3", "new4"],
  "ingredients": [
    {
      "spirit": {
        "id": "new1",
        "spiritName": "Gin",
        "ounces": 2
      }
    },
    {
      "mixer": {
        "id": "new2",
        "mixerName": "Tonic",
        "ounces": 4
      }
    },
    {
      "mixer": {
        "id": "new3",
        "mixerName": "Fresh Lime Juice",
        "ounces": 0.25
      }
    },
    {
      "garnish": {
        "id": "new4",
        "garnishName": "Lime Wedge or Twist"
      }
    }
  ]
}

What field on those objects would contain data would determine the final block type.

If more than one of the block types are defined, only the block type that is listed first will be considered.

Saving Files via Mutations

You can provide files for Assets as either base64-encoded data, or a URL that Craft will download.

Either way you’ll use the FileInput GraphQL input type, which has the following fields:

Field	Description
url	URL of a file to be downloaded.
fileData	File contents in base64 format. If provided, takes precedence over url.
filename	Filename to use for the saved Asset. If omitted, Craft will create a filename.

Mutating Entries

Saving an Entry

To save an entry, use the entry type-specific mutation which will have the name in the form of save_<sectionHandle>_<entryTypeHandle>_Entry:

Argument	Type	Description
id	ID	Set the element’s ID.
uid	String	Set the element’s UID.
title	String	The title of the element.
enabled	Boolean	Whether the element should be enabled.
authorId	ID	The ID of the user that created this entry.
postDate	DateTime	When should the entry be posted.
expiryDate	DateTime	When should the entry expire.
slug	String	Narrows the query results based on the elements’ slugs.
siteId	Int	Determines which site(s) the elements should be saved to. Defaults to the primary site.
...		More arguments depending on the field layout for the type

The id, uid and authorId arguments do not exist for single entries. This is because single entries have no authors and are identified already by the exact mutation. In a similar fashion, there are additional arguments available for structured entries. For more information, refer to mutating structure data.

After saving an entry, Craft runs queue jobs for updating revisions and search indexes. If you’re using Craft headlessly or infrequently accessing the control panel, consider disabling runQueueAutomatically and establishing an always-running daemon (opens new window) to keep revisions and search indexes up to date.

Editing Existing Entries

You can modify existing entries by passing the populated id argument to your mutation.

Saving a Draft

To save a draft for an entry, use the entry type-specific mutation which will have the name in the form of save_<sectionHandle>_<entryTypeHandle>_Draft:

Argument	Type	Description
title	String	The title of the element.
enabled	Boolean	Whether the element should be enabled.
authorId	ID	The ID of the user that created this entry.
postDate	DateTime	When should the entry be posted.
expiryDate	DateTime	When should the entry expire.
slug	String	Narrows the query results based on the elements’ slugs.
siteId	Int	Determines which site(s) the elements should be saved to. Defaults to the primary site.
draftId	ID!	The ID of the draft.
draftName	String	The name of the draft.
draftNotes	String	Notes for the draft.
...		More arguments depending on the field layout for the type

Creating or Publishing a Draft

You can use the createDraft mutation to save a new draft. It requires the id of the draft’s parent entry and returns the ID of the newly-saved draft.

You can publishing a draft using the publishDraft mutation, which requires the id of the draft to be published and returns the ID of the updated parent entry.

Deleting an Entry

You can delete an entry using the deleteEntry mutation, which requires the id of the entry to be deleted. It returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful.

Mutating Assets

Saving an Asset

To create or update an asset, use the volume-specific mutation which will have a name in the form of save_<volumeHandle>_Asset:

Argument	Type	Description
id	ID	Set the element’s ID.
uid	String	Set the element’s UID.
title	String	The title of the element.
enabled	Boolean	Whether the element should be enabled.
_file	FileInput	The file to use for this asset
newFolderId	ID	ID of the new folder for this asset
...		More arguments depending on the field layout for the type

Deleting an Asset

You can delete an asset using the deleteAsset mutation, which requires the id of the asset to be deleted. It returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful.

Mutating Tags

Saving a Tag

To create or update a tag, use the tag group-specific mutation which will have a name in the form of save_<tagGroupHandle>_Tag:

Argument	Type	Description
id	ID	Set the element’s ID.
uid	String	Set the element’s UID.
title	String	The title of the element.
enabled	Boolean	Whether the element should be enabled.
...		More arguments depending on the field layout for the type

Deleting a Tag

To delete a tag, use the deleteTag mutation which requires the id of the tag to be deleted. It returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful.

Mutating Categories

To create or update a category, use the category group-specific mutation which will have a name in the form of save_<categoryGroupHandle>_Category.

Argument	Type	Description
id	ID	Set the element’s ID.
uid	String	Set the element’s UID.
title	String	The title of the element.
enabled	Boolean	Whether the element should be enabled.
...		More arguments depending on the field layout for the type

Deleting a Category

To delete a category, use the deleteCategory mutation which requires the id of the category to be deleted. It returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful.

Mutating Structure Data

Structure section entries and categories exist with explicit order and nesting relationships. To manipulate their place in the structure, save the elements using the appropriate mutations and use the following arguments:

Argument	Type	Description
prependTo	ID	The ID of the element to prepend to.
appendTo	ID	The ID of the element to append to.
prependToRoot	Boolean	Whether to prepend this element to the root.
appendToRoot	Boolean	Whether to append this element to the root.
insertBefore	ID	The ID of the element this element should be inserted before.
insertAfter	ID	The ID of the element this element should be inserted after.

Mutating Global Sets

To update a global set use the appropriate mutations which will have the name in the form of save_<globalSetHandle>_GlobalSet.

The only available arguments are custom fields on the global set.

Mutating Users

It’s currently not possible to mutate users with Craft’s GraphQL API.
