How to format GraphQL request for node

Developing with Prismic
1

Hello,

I'm having trouble using request that works in the GraphQL Explorer to my Node.js code.

Here is my request successfully fetching data in my project :
{
allMechanicss {
edges {
node {
title
}
}
}
_allDocuments {
edges {
node {
__typename
}
}
}
}

When I want to feed my GraphQL client, I'm getting this error :
ApolloError: Network error: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

I'll use a variable to hold the request like this :

let allTown = gql`
  {
    allMechanicss {
      edges {
        node {
          title
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm really lost

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for contributing to the Prismic community,
In order to help you troubleshoot the issue, I would need to have a look you are running.

Sharing a code snippet of the code that calls apolloGraphQl would be useful as well as the name of the repository that you are call (in a private message if necessary).

Looking forward to your response,
Fares

I found the solution and understood the problem, which came from the documentation.

The solution was to correct the GraphQL endpoint I should use for queries:
Incorrect value : https://vuetoystore.cdn.prismic.io/api/graphql
Correct value : https://vuetoystore.prismic.io/graphql

Apart from the fact that I added "api" by the end of the url, what really confounded me was the "cdn" keyword. The Prismic GraphQL doc at paragraph 3.1 says :

https://your-repository-name.cdn.prismic.io/graphql

It was not clear that "cdn" is not part of the url. I understood the problem outside of Prismic.

Please provide the link to our GraphQL endpoint to our API & Security settings page so we just have to copy paste.

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for your feedback; I've done some tests about .cdn, and yes, it seems you are correct.

I will confirm with my team, and then I will apply a fix to the docs.

Hi Tristan,

We have been in a contact with our devOps team and they said that the endpoint with the .cdn should work. The issue that you had was simply because you have added /api to the url.

so the endpoint mentioned in the GraphQL docs should remain as it is recommended to use the CDN:
https://your-repository-name.cdn.prismic.io/graphql
