Alerts API querying example with JavaScript
Request code
To query the API, you can use any HTTP client of choice or any specialized GraphQL API Clients, like graphql-request, urql, or Apollo.
Using a client compatible with Fetch API, the request could be issued with the following code:
Make sure to replace qfNfdijpFhbhPhA7j2ZxvtEGkfv8DftTtmTEbnWN with your unique API key.
const fetch = require('isomorphic-fetch');
​
const API_KEY = 'qfNfdijpFhbhPhA7j2ZxvtEGkfv8DftTtmTEbnWN';
const API_ENDPOINT = 'https://api.craft.co/v1/query';
const GRAPHQL_QUERY = /* GraphQL */`
    query getAlerts($first: Int!) { 
        alerts(first: $first) {
            id
            dataset
            variable
        }
    }
`;
​
requestHeaders = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-craft-api-key': API_KEY };
requestData = { 'query': GRAPHQL_QUERY, 'variables': { 'first': 3 } };
​
const result = await fetch(API_ENDPOINT, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: requestHeaders,
    body: JSON.stringify(requestData),
});
​
const { data, errors } = await result.json();
​
console.log(data);
