How do I use the Coinstash API?


The Coinstash API is a GraphQL server.


A GraphQL server is a backend server that implements the GraphQL query language to handle and respond to client requests for data. Unlike traditional REST APIs, where each endpoint is responsible for a specific resource (e.g., /users, /posts), GraphQL allows clients to request exactly the data they need and nothing more, often from a single endpoint.


To explore the API:


  1. Go to the Apollo GraphQL Studio: https://studio.apollographql.com/sandbox/explorer


  1. Switch to the Coinstash GraphQL endpoint: https://graph.coinstash.com.au/graphql



  1. In the bottom right corner set the Authorization Header to:


Header key: Authorization
Value: Bearer {{YOUR-API-KEY}} (don't forget the space)



  1. Now you can test the API with a sample query:


query UserProfile {
userProfile {
email
}
}
