1. Authorize

To work with GraphQL, you need to have Access Token and API Key.

See Authorization for more details.

2. Explore

To understand which data and actions are available via GraphQL, please go to https://gql.doo.net and check the side bars “Docs” and “Schema”.

You can also test your GraphQL queries there.

To make a test request, add the Access Token into the HTTP Headers section like the following:

{ "authorization": "Bearer <access_token>" }

3. Use

While you can use https://gql.doo.net for exploration, we strongly recommend using https://graphql.doo.net for production to prevent any problems and downtime. As we’re planning to deprecate https://gql.doo.net soon.

Example of the HTTP request to get event information using Event ID.

curl -X POST 'https://graphql.doo.net' \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'x-api-key: <api_key>' \ -H 'authorization: <access_token>' \ -d '{"query":"query($eventId: ID!) {event(id: $eventId) {id title startDate endDate status type isVirtual logoUrl cover {originalUrl} description {short long} currency {code} address {country city zip street houseNumber venueName} organizer {name email phone contactPerson} totalEventCapacity totalAmount organization {id}}}","variables":{"eventId":<event_id>}}'

Replace the following placeholders with the real data to make it work: <api_key>, <access_token>, <event_id>.

Formatted GraphQL query from this request:

query":"query($eventId: ID!) { event(id: $eventId) { id title startDate endDate status type isVirtual logoUrl cover { originalUrl } description { short long } currency { code } address { country city zip street houseNumber venueName } organizer { name email phone contactPerson } totalEventCapacity totalAmount organization { id } } }
