Builder GraphQL Content API

Usage

With the GraphQL Content API you can query your data by targeting attributes and/or custom fields and use your data as you choose!

The format is

https://cdn.builder.io/api/v1/graphql/YOUR_API_KEY?query=QUERY

You can also use POST requests with { "query": QUERY } as the body, though GET is preferred when possible for performance and caching purposes

Explorer

The best way to explore the GraphQL API for your data is to use the GraphQL explorer:

Try the Graphql explorer

Examples

You can see real world examples of using our GraphQL API in our open source examples, such as our Gatsby examle

Basic usage

query {
  page(limit: 1) { 
    content
  }
}

With targeting

See our content API docs for more info on custom targeting

query {
  page(target: { urlPath: "/foobar" }, limit: 1) { 
    content
  }
}

With query

See our content API docs for more info on custom querying

query {
  page(query: { data: { someProperty: "someValue" }}, limit: 1) { 
    content
  }
}

For React

See our gatsby example for more info about querying and rendering to React

query {
  page(query: { data: { someProperty: "someValue" }}, limit: 1) { 
    content
  }
}

# Render with
# <BuilderComponent name="page" content={data.page[0].content} />

Get HTML

query {
  page(prerender: true, limit: 1, target: { urlPath: "/" }) { 
    data { html }
  }
}

# Render {{data.page[0].html}} in your site or app

Data model fields

query {
  page(query: {  data: { someProperty: "someValue" }}, limit: 1) { 
    data {
      someProperty
    }
  }
}
