GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

How do I use Squadcast’s GraphQL APIs?

First, you’ll need to create a client. Once you’ve done this, follow our instructions to authenticate against the API.

Both GraphQL and the REST API use the same authentication API.

After you’ve got your access token, you can start querying the API. Let’s check some examples of schedule API.

curl --location 'https://api.squadcast.com/v3/graphql' \
--header 'authorization: Bearer <Your-access-token>' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"query":"{\n  schedules(\n    filters: {teamID: \"6129ac15518568defa92794b\"}\n  ) {\n    teamID\n    name\n    ID\n    orgID\n    description\n    timeZone\n    rotations {\n      name\n      participantGroups {\n        participants {\n          type\n          ID\n        }\n      }\n      startDate\n      period\n      endDate\n      endsAfterIterations\n    }\n  }\n}\n"}'

You get the response:
