GraphQL API technical overview
How the Optimizely GraphQL API exposes Content Management System (CMS) data as a queryable graph and how the schema and public key fit together.
GraphQL APIs expose Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) data as a graph-based structure that you can query from a single endpoint. GraphQL organizes data into types and fields so applications request only the content they need.
Schema and public key
The GraphQL API generates a GraphQL schema from the content you sync from your site. Each site has its own schema based on the content types you configured in CMS. You need a public key to access the schema and content through the API. When Optimizely Support creates your service account in the cloud, you receive a public key that gives read-only access to the content in your Optimizely Graph.
Content availability
Published content is available in near real-time for searches and queries.
The following diagram shows how content moves from CMS into Optimizely Graph and how applications query the schema:
