GraphQL API and Playground​

MemoMeister uses GraphQL, a flexible data query language. Even if you're not familiar with GraphQL, you can use our interactive Playground to explore and test the API without writing code.

Using the Playground​

The Playground is available at /playground and allows you to:

  • Explore the API schema
  • Test queries interactively
  • View real data from your account
  • Learn GraphQL basics hands-on

Simple Test Query​

Try this basic query to test your API key and see your user information:

query MyUser {
  me {
    id
    firstName
    lastName
    fullName
    avatar
    phoneNumber
    primaryEmail
    activeCompanyRole
  }
}

This query will return your user details and confirm your API key is working correctly.
