User story

Quantis is more focused on providing more capability to the developer community. They expect the developer community to build their own mobile applications and web apps to use their APIs. To make this process much easier, Quantis wants to expose GraphQL API to the public.

Step 1: Create a GraphQL API

WSO2 API Manager supports creating GraphQL APIs using the GraphQL schema. Following steps can be used to create a sample API.

1. Log in to Publisher Portal https://localhost:9443/publisher using [email protected] and password user123.

2. Select Create API → Import GraphQL SDL

   

3. Import the train.graphql in the /resources and create the API. Use http://backend-service:8080/train-operations/graphql as the backend endpoint URL.

   

Step 2: Publish and test the API

1. Deploy the API and publish it.

2. Go to the Developer Portal and navigate to the Quantis tenant domain. You will see the GraphQL API in the Developer Portal.

   3. Log in to the Quantis Developer Portal using [email protected] with password user123 and subscribe to the GraphQL API using an application and get the access token. 4. You could use the Try out tab to try out this GraphQL API. Following is a sample request payload.

  schedules {
    entryId
    from
