Examples on interacting with the GraphQL API¶

Create a new user¶

This will create a new user and return the user information and a token to be used for mutations and queries that require an authenticated user. Keep a copy of the generated token which is good by default for 7 days. After 7 days, you will need to login again to generate another token.

The returned token can be used in the GraphiQL section REQUEST HEADERS in the Bearer field
