GraphQL API
Craft 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
GraphQL’s API is self-documenting, so you can immediately start building and executing queries interactively via Craft’s included GraphiQL IDE. Querying from the control panel gives you unfettered access to your content, whereas queries from the outside 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
:
{
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)
}
}
}
}
# 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:
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:
- A single Public Schema that defines which content should be available publicly.
- 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 → GraphiQL.
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:
- A
GET
request with the GraphQL query defined by aquery
parameter:
curl \
--data-urlencode "query={ping}" \
http://my-project.tld/api
# or
curl http://my-project.tld/api?query=%7Bping%7D
- A
POST
request with anapplication/json
content type and the GraphQL query defined by aquery
key:
curl \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"{ping}"}' \
http://my-project.tld/api
- A
POST
request with anapplication/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
ortypeId
arguments, its caches will only be cleared when entries of the same type are saved or deleted. - If the query includes
section
orsectionId
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:
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:
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
