The main sections include Basics (authorization, permissions, caching, environments, errors, webhooks, API Playground, rate limits), Schema (models, system fields, field types, configuration, enumerations, taxonomies, components, reserved terms, environment diffing, schema as code), Content API (queries, mutations, filtering, ordering, pagination, content stages, localization, variables, rich text, headers), Assets (uploading, fetching, referencing, transformations, updating, deleting, publishing, localization, embedded types), Management SDK (overview, quickstart, migration, batch migration, examples, field examples), and Developer Tools (rich text renderer, HTML to Slate AST, Gatsby Source Plugin). For details, visit API Reference.
The API Playground is an interactive tool within Hygraph that allows users to experiment with querying and mutating data.
