GraphQL Storefront API Example Queries

Below are example GraphQL queries for use with the BigCommerce GraphQL Storefront API. The purpose of these examples is to assist developers in getting familiar with the API. For a general overview of its usage and capabilities, see GraphQL Storefront API overview.

Configuring the request

To get started, you need a BigCommerce store and a Storefront API token. For more information, see the Authenticating requests to the GraphQL Storefront API or the General authentication article.

For more information on formatting the request payload, see the query example section of the GraphQL Storefront API overview.

To use this API from a coupled storefront, use the following HTTP configuration:

Example query: Same-origin GraphQL Storefront HTTP configuration
  fetch('/graphql', {
    method: 'POST',
    credentials: 'same-origin',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + {{storefrontToken}}
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      query: gqlQueryString
    })
  })
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

To use this API server-to-server, use the following HTTP configuration:

Server-to-server GraphQL Storefront HTTP configuration
  POST https://{{storeDomain}}/graphql
  Authorization: Bearer {{storefrontOrCustomerImpersonationToken}}
  X-BC-Customer-ID: 123 # optional once a customer is signed in
  Content-Type: application/json
