Getting Started

---

The AnimeThemes API selectively implements the GraphQL Tool.

Here we will provide an overview of where the AnimeThemes API adheres to or deviates from the specification.

It is recommended that you learn how to wrap a GraphQL API.

Content Negotiation

The AnimeThemes API needs a Content-Type header.

# A simple curl request works like this.
curl -X POST
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"
    -d "{\"query\": \"{ animes { data { name } } }\"}"

Document Structure

Top Level

The AnimeThemes API specifies a custom data wrap for top-level members.

The following query

query {
    animes {
        data {
            name
        }
    }
}

will return the JSON:

{
    "data": {
        "animes": {
            "data": [
                {
                    "name": ".hack//Liminality"
                },
                ...
            ]
        }
    }
}
