GraphQL Queries

GraphQL queries are used to fetch data via the project API.

Archie Core’s GraphQL engine auto-generates queries as part of the GraphQL schema based on your project tables. All project tables can be queried through the project endpoint.

Whenever a table is added to a project, two GraphQL query operations are auto-generated for the table. They are:

  • tableNameById(…) - Accepts id and any unique value as an argument to retrieve a single record from the database.
  • tableNames(…) - Accepts filter, sort, skip, after, before, first, groupBy, and last to retrieve a list of curated records while supporting pagination, relational-filtering, sorting, and more.

Archie Core responds to the following query arguments when specified for lists.

  • filter: Filters records based on field values.
  • orderBy: [DEPRECIATING - Use sort]
  • sort: Sort order configuration. Can be single- or multi- field sorting.
  • first: Limit query to first N records. Default and maximum value is 5000.
  • last: Return N last records from the result.
  • groupBy: Groups the returned records by the values of a specific field. This is typically used in conjunction with aggregation functions (like count or sum) to analyze data based on categories.
  • after: Return records after specified ID. Used for cursor-based pagination.
  • before: Return records before specified ID. Used for cursor-based pagination.
  • skip: Skip N records from the result.
