How does OneGraph work?

OneGraph exposes a single GraphQL endpoint for you to dynamically query, at https://serve.onegraph.com/dynamic. To make a request, you'll include two things:

• An app_id query parameter to identify your app
• A body in JSON with a GraphQL query and (optionally) some variables

The simplest curl command might look like the query below

curl 'https://serve.onegraph.com/dynamic?app_id=0b33e830-7cde-4b90-ad7e-2a39c57c0e11' \
  --data '{"query":"{ me { oneGraph { fullName email }}}"}'

That's simply saying, "I'm making a GraphQL request on behalf of app-id 0b33, and I want the following data:"

{
  me {
    oneGraph {
      fullName
      email
    }
  }
}

Incidentally, this is the query we're using right now on the site to tell if you're logged in. If you run the above curl example, you should see:

{"data":{"me":{"oneGraph":null}}}

This is great, it just means that the query returned successfully, and that the curl command wasn't logged in as anyone (we'll get into authentication a bit later). You just made your first unauthenticated query. To make an authenticated query, you'll first need to make your own app!
