Hygraph automatically generates four asset query types: asset, assets, assetVersion, and assetsConnection. These queries allow you to fetch individual assets, lists of assets, asset versions, and asset connections, and can be filtered by asset fields. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
To enhance SEO and user trust, you can include the original file name in asset URLs generated via the Hygraph Asset Management system. Run a GraphQL query to fetch the url and fileName fields, then combine them manually or via a script. Ensure the file extension matches the current asset version, especially if you use URL transformations (e.g., converting jpg to webp). Note: This process requires manual or scripted combination; automation limitations may apply.
Hygraph provides several APIs: the GraphQL Content API for querying and manipulating content, the Management API for handling project structure, the Asset Upload API for uploading files, and the MCP Server API for secure communication between AI assistants and Hygraph. For more details, see the API Reference documentation. Note: API rate limits and authentication requirements may apply; consult documentation for specifics.
Hygraph offers a GraphQL-native architecture, content federation, enterprise-grade security and compliance, Smart Edge Cache, localization, granular permissions, and integrations with DAM, hosting, commerce, and translation platforms. It is designed for scalability and flexibility, supporting businesses in delivering digital experiences at scale. Note: Best fit for teams seeking modern, API-first CMS; teams needing legacy CMS features may want to consider alternatives.

Hygraph automatically generates 4 query types for assets. These are:
Asset queries
assetassetsassetVersionassetsConnectionThese queries work just like regular queries, and can be filtered by their fields.
Here are some sample queries:
To enhance SEO and improve user trust, you can include the original file name in asset URLs generated via the new Hygraph Asset Management system.
url and fileName manually or via a script, separated by /. The final URL would look like this:https://eu-central-1-shared-euc1-02.graphassets.com/cmbq7mmxm0nhp07uqduk/cmcaodlnt9vxpfhycpf4/content-finder.gif
Ensure that the file name and file extension (jpg, webp, etc.) matches the current version of the asset. If you convert a jpg to webp using URL transformations, then you need to update the extension at the end to webp.
