Through this blog, you will understand how to set up and use the Sitecore GraphQL API. You get the GraphQL API by installing the JSS server components package. In the Sitecore Headless Service 16.0 and later versions, the Edge Preview endpoint is kept enabled by default but you can also configure additional endpoints. Follow the below steps for that.

  1. Define one endpoint at least for using the Graph QL API.
  2. The below example defines a content API endpoint with the necessary authentication.
