GraphQL API technical overview
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 schemaGraphQL schema from the content you sync from your sitesync 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:
