Explore your schema

The following GraphQL queries are used to explore the structure of your Content Management System Software as a Service (CMS SaaS) content and understand how it maps to Optimizely Graph Schema. These examples help you examine available content types, test queries, and validate filtering or search behavior. For a detailed overview of how the schema defines content relationships and field structures, see Optimizely Graph Schema.

1. Explore your content structure

Each SaaS CMS instance has a unique content model. Explore the structure of your instance using the following queries:

# See all available content types (types starting with __ is internal graphql types)
query GetContentTypes {
  __schema {
    types {
      name
      description
      kind
    }
  }
}

# Get content by type
query ExploreContent {
  _Content(
    where: { _metadata: { types: { in: ["LandingPage"] } } }
    limit: 5
  ) {
    items {
      _metadata {
        displayName
        types
        url { default }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Find your content types

Run the following query to see the total number of content items for each content type:

# Get all content types and their counts
query ContentInventory {
  LandingPage { total }
  BlogPostPage { total }
  _Content { total }
}

3. Test filtering and search

Use filters to narrow content results by type or display name:

# Filter by content type
query FilterByType {
  _Content(
    where: { 
      _metadata: { 
        types: { in: ["LandingPage", "BlogPostPage"] } 
      } 
    }
    limit: 10
  ) {
    items {
      _metadata {
        displayName
        types
        url { default }
      }
    }
  }
}

# Search by display name
query SearchContent {
  _Content(
    where: { 
      _metadata: { 
        displayName: { contains: "Mosey" } 
      } 
    }
    limit: 5
  ) {
    items {
      _metadata {
        displayName
        types
        url { default }
      }
    }
  }
}
