# GraphQL API Endpoint
GraphQL queries are **read-optimized for speed**. Data may be slightly out of date until the file system cache refreshes. The GraphQL endpoints allow you to access the following objects:
* Devices
* Settings
* Language Strings (LangStrings)
## Endpoints
* **GET** `/graphql`
Returns a simple status message (useful for browser or debugging).
* **POST** `/graphql`
Execute GraphQL queries against the `devicesSchema`.

## Devices Query
### Sample Query
```graphql
query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) {
devices(options: $options) {
devices {
rowid
devMac
devName
devOwner
devType
devVendor
devLastConnection
devStatus
}
count
}
}
```
### Query Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `page` | Page number of results to fetch. |
| `limit` | Number of results per page. |
| `sort` | Sorting options (`field` = field name, `order` = `asc` or `desc`). |
| `search` | Term to filter devices. |
| `status` | Filter devices by status: `my_devices`, `connected`, `favorites`, `new`, `down`, `archived`, `offline`. |
| `filters` | Additional filters (array of `{ filterColumn, filterValue }`). |

### `curl` Example
```sh
curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \
-X POST \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"query": "query GetDevices($options: PageQueryOptionsInput) { devices(options: $options) { devices { rowid devMac devName devOwner devType devVendor devLastConnection devStatus } count } }",
"variables": {
"options": {
"page": 1,
"limit": 10,
"sort": [{ "field": "devName", "order": "asc" }],
"search": "",
"status": "connected"
}
}
}'
```

### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"devices": {

}
}
```

## Settings Query
The **settings query** provides access to NetAlertX configuration stored in the settings table.
### Sample Query
```graphql
query GetSettings {
settings {
settings {
setKey
setName
setDescription
setType
setOptions
setGroup
setValue
setEvents
setOverriddenByEnv
}
count
}
}
```
### Schema Fields

| -------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `setKey` | String | Unique key identifier for the setting. |
| `setName` | String | Human-readable name. |
| `setDescription` | String | Description or documentation of the setting. |
| `setType` | String | Data type (`string`, `int`, `bool`, `json`, etc.). |
| `setOptions` | String | Available options (for dropdown/select-type settings). |
| `setGroup` | String | Group/category the setting belongs to. |
| `setValue` | String | Current value of the setting. |
| `setEvents` | String | Events or triggers related to this setting. |
| `setOverriddenByEnv` | Boolean | Whether the setting is overridden by an environment variable at runtime. |

### `curl` Example
```sh
curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \
-X POST \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"query": "query GetSettings { settings { settings { setKey setName setDescription setType setOptions setGroup setValue setEvents setOverriddenByEnv } count } }"
}'
```

### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"settings": {
"settings": [
{
"setKey": "UI_MY_DEVICES",
"setName": "My Devices Filter",
"setDescription": "Defines which statuses to include in the 'My Devices' view.",
"setType": "list",
"setOptions": "[\"online\",\"new\",\"down\",\"offline\",\"archived\"]",
"setGroup": "UI",
"setValue": "[\"online\",\"new\"]",
"setEvents": null,
"setOverriddenByEnv": false
},
{
"setKey": "NETWORK_DEVICE_TYPES",
"setName": "Network Device Types",
"setDescription": "Types of devices considered as network infrastructure.",
"setType": "list",
"setOptions": "[\"Router\",\"Switch\",\"AP\"]",
"setGroup": "Network",
"setValue": "[\"Router\",\"Switch\"]",
"setEvents": null,
"setOverriddenByEnv": true
}
],
"count": 2
}
}
}
```

## LangStrings Query
The **LangStrings query** provides access to localized strings. Supports filtering by `langCode` and `langStringKey`. If the requested string is missing or empty, you can optionally fallback to `en_us`.
### Sample Query
```graphql
query GetLangStrings {
langStrings(langCode: "de_de", langStringKey: "settings_other_scanners") {
langStrings {
langCode
langStringKey
langStringText
}
count
}
}
```
### Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ---------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `langCode` | String | Optional language code (e.g., `en_us`, `de_de`). If omitted, all languages are returned. |
| `langStringKey` | String | Optional string key to retrieve a specific entry. |
| `fallback_to_en` | Boolean | Optional (default `true`). If `true`, empty or missing strings fallback to `en_us`. |
### `curl` Example
```sh
curl 'http://host:GRAPHQL_PORT/graphql' \
-X POST \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"query": "query GetLangStrings { langStrings(langCode: \"de_de\", langStringKey: \"settings_other_scanners\") { langStrings { langCode langStringKey langStringText } count } }"
}'
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"langStrings": {
"count": 1,
"langStrings": [
{
"langCode": "de_de",
"langStringKey": "settings_other_scanners",
"langStringText": "Other, non-device scanner plugins that are currently enabled." // falls back to en_us if empty
}
]
}
}
}
```

## Notes
* Device, settings, and LangStrings queries can be combined in **one request** since GraphQL supports batching.
* The `fallback_to_en` feature ensures UI always has a value even if a translation is missing.
* Data is **cached in memory** per JSON file; changes to language or plugin files will only refresh after the cache detects a file modification.
* The `setOverriddenByEnv` flag helps identify setting values that are locked at container runtime.
* The schema is **read-only** — updates must be performed through other APIs or configuration management. See the other [API](API.md) endpoints for details.
