GraphQL API Introduction

Created by Brian Glick, Modified on Wed, 5 Nov at 4:29 AM by Brian Glick

Chain.io's GraphQL API allows you to automate every task that you can complete using the Chain.io Portal.  Our user interface uses the exact same API, so anything you can do in your browser, you can automate with an API call.


Learn more about GraphQL here: https://graphql.org/


GraphQL Explorer

To get started exploring the GraphQL API, make sure you're logged into your Chain.io account, and then visit https://portal.chain.io/graphql.  This visual explorer lets you build and execute queries. Remember that anything you do in the explorer is a real API call and will impact your account.


API Authentication

Visit this article to learn how to create an API key or link an existing API key to additoinal workspaces.


Examples

Visit our github repository for examples of common scripting solutions that we use internally at Chain.io or that have been submitted by customers.
