You can run queries on real Scope data using any HTTP compliant client (HTTP Client) or GraphQL integrated development environment (GraphQL IDE). GraphQL IDEs are typically easier to work with because they include docs, syntax highlighting, and validation errors.

About the Scope GraphQL Explorer

Scope GraphQL Explorer is an instance of GraphiQL (a GraphQL IDE) that is available in-browser at In this example, the company permalink name is scope

Note that users other than super/company admins can now use GraphQL to run queries.

Using GraphiQL

To use the GraphiQL app, download and install it from https://www.electronjs.org/apps/graphiql.

1. Getting an OAuth token can be done thru CMS

   2. Open the Application tab and copy the Auth token from Cookies

2. Ensure the authenticated user has the Access Control Rights required by the query to be executed (See Authorization Errors & Reporting Admins).

3. Launch GraphiQL.

4. In the upper-right corner of GraphiQL, click Edit HTTP Headers.

5. If you don’t already have GraphiQL setup with Headers, do the following;

   1. In the upper-right corner of the modal dialog, click + Add Header.

   2. In the Key field, enter Authorization. In the Value field, enter Token token=<token>, where <token> is your generated OAuth token.

You can test your access by querying yourself:

...

Authorization errors indicate that the current user does not have sufficient privileges to access a requested node (or nodes).

Unauthorized nodes that are part of many-to-one relationships (aka “Connections”) are automatically pruned from the response without triggering an error, whereas unauthorized nodes that belong to one-to-one relationships trigger an error.

...

...

By way of example, the following query will trigger the following authorization error response when the user executing the query isn’t authorized to read the node identified by id YQLXlUig57gDr1aAak2ojlH98qqDttCUIUwR_Y-MPJRWrdX0sgvvjiOj6fXusYeG:

...

{
  "data": {
    "node": null
  },
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Not authorized to read object",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 23,
          "column": 3
        }
      ],
      "path": [
        "node"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

...

But, the node in the previous example will be silently removed from the response to the following query without triggering an error:

query {
  viewer {
    organization {
      scenarios {
        nodes {
          sessions {
            nodes {
              id
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}  

...

It's possible you might run into an unexpected error that is not related to the schema. If this happens, the message will include a reference code you can use when reporting the issue to support:

{
  "data": null,
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Something went wrong while executing your query. This is most likely a Scope bug. Please include \"7571:3FF6:552G94B:69F45B7:5913BBEQ\" when reporting this issue."
    }
  ]
}

OAuth token

You must obtain a valid OAuth token before attempting to execute queries against, or explore the schema of, the Scope API.

There are two kinds of OAuth tokens:

...

“Permanent” API tokens that never expire.

...

Refreshing an OAuth token

Scope OAuth tokens currently expire after 30 days (or “sign-out”, whichever is earlier).

...

Repeat steps 1-5 to obtain a

...

Contact support and request that a Scope Admin create and enable an API token for your organization.

To obtain a temporary session token:

Use your favorite HTTP client to sign in:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://cms.scopear.com/api/v2/users/sign_in.json \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data 'user[username]=YOUR_EMAIL' \
  --data 'user[password]=YOUR_PASSWORD'

...

Parse the response as JSON and extract the value for the auth_token key (e.g. the following response should yield the following token):

{
  "id": 1,
  "email": "support@scopear.com",
  "name": "Support Account",
  "permalink": "supportscopearcom",
  "username": "support@scopear.com",
  "guest": false,
  "auth_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJkYXRhIjp7InVzZXJfaWQiOjEsImRldmljZV9pZCI6MX0sImV4cCI6MTYwODI0NDA3MSwianRpIjoiOGY3ODg1NTg2Y2Y4YTdiNjQ1MWIwZTcxMzFhODY1MDE2MmQwZWZhZjc3MTgwYTNhZmU5OTk2N2Y4OTZhNzlhOCIsImlhdCI6MTYwNTY1MjA3MX0.Z4hFOmLlUPolvW3u-2Ssn7LWX_c2y95a1fhID3QJuCg",
