# GraphQL quickstart

You can access your flags without an SDK by sending a GraphQL query to [Hypertune Edge](/concepts/hypertune-edge.md).

## 1. Write a GraphQL query

Go to the Preview view in the Hypertune UI and enter the following [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/learn/queries/) query:

```graphql
query TestQuery {
  root {
    exampleFlag
  }
}
```

In the Result panel, you can see the flag that matches your query, including all of its logic.

Now pass the `context` argument, containing the `environment` and `user`, in the query:

```graphql
query TestQuery {
  root(
    context: {
      environment: "development",
      user: {
        id: "test_id"
        name: "Test"
        email: "test@test.com"
      }
    }
  ) {
    exampleFlag
  }
}
```

Now your flag logic has been *reduced*, i.e. the "If / Else" expression has been replaced with its result.

## 2. Get code snippets

Switch to the Code Snippets tab to see cURL and JavaScript snippets for the GraphQL query you entered.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL Example" %}

<pre class="language-bash" data-overflow="wrap"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>curl --location --request GET 'https://edge.hypertune.com/graphql?token=${YOUR_URL_ENCODED_PROJECT_TOKEN}&#x26;body=%7B%22query%22%3A%22query%20TestQuery%7Broot(context%3A%7Benvironment%3A%20%5C%22development%5C%22%2C%20user%3A%7Bid%3A%20%5C%22test_id%5C%22%20name%3A%20%5C%22Test%5C%22%20email%3A%20%5C%22test%40test.com%5C%22%7D%7D)%7BexampleFlag%7D%7D%22%2C%22variables%22%3A%7B%7D%7D'
</strong></code></pre>

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="JavaScript Example" %}

```javascript
/*
 * @param {Object} variables - e.g. {}
 * @returns {Promise<Object>}
 */
function queryHypertune(variables) {
  const query = `query TestQuery{root(context:{environment: "development", user:{id: "test_id" name: "Test" email: "test@test.com"}}){exampleFlag}}`;

  return fetch(`https://edge.hypertune.com/graphql?token=${YOUR_URL_ENCODED_PROJECT_TOKEN}&body=${
    encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({ query, variables }))
  }`, {
    method: "GET",
    redirect: "follow",
    referrerPolicy: "no-referrer-when-downgrade",
    keepalive: true
  })
  .then((response) => {
    return response.json();
  })
  .then((result) => {
    if (result.data) {
      return result.data;
    }
    throw result;
  });
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hypertune.com/getting-started/graphql-quickstart.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
