(V5.5.4 or later) Optional: Configuring the Content Services GraphQL API

Content Services GraphQL API is an intuitive API that enables the caller to create, retrieve, update, or delete resources. The API is ideal for web and mobile application development because it supports retrieving exactly the data you need with a single call. You can make the API available for use by deploying the Content Services GraphQL API container.

Before you begin

Before you configure your container environment and deploy the Content Services GraphQL API container, deploy and configure the Content Platform Engine V5.5.4 or later container. Verify that the container deployment is working as intended.
