Authentication

We’re overhauling Dgraph’s docs to make them clearer and more approachable. If you notice any issues during this transition or have suggestions, please let us know.

Login

Login generates a JWT token that can be used to access other Dgraph Cloud APIs.

This API requires an email address and password. If you have signed up with a social media provider, you may create a new password by selecting Forgot Password on the login page.

Cloud endpoint

https://cerebro.cloud.dgraph.io/graphql

API command

query Login($email: String!, $password: String!) {
  login(email: $email, password: $password) {
    token
  }
}

Arguments

• email: your email address
• password: your password

Example

Below is an example request and response. The token below must be passed to all future API calls as a bearer token in the Authorization header.

curl 'https://cerebro.cloud.dgraph.io/graphql' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary '{"query":"query Login($email: String!, $password: String!) {\n  login(email: $email, password: $password) {    \n    token\n  }\n}","variables":{"email":"<your-email>","password":"<your-password>"}}' \
  --compressed

Using the authentication token

The token returned from the login API must be passed to all future API calls as a bearer token in the Authorization header.
