The node id
is a globally unique identifier of an object. It is needed when you call the GraphQL query and mutation. In this section, we will go through how to generate the node ID for calling the Admin GraphQL API.
The node id is a base64url encoded string with the format of <NODE_TYPE>:<ID>
. For example, in User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160
, the node is "User" while "97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160" is the ID for a specific user.
You can use your preferred programming language or tool to encode node IDs to base64url as shown below:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="Go" %}
package main
import (

func main() {
nodeID := base64.RawURLEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte("User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160"))
fmt.Println(nodeID)
}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Python" %}
import base64
base64.urlsafe_b64encode(b'User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160').replace(b'=', b'')
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="PHP" %}

}
$encoded_id = base64url_encode("User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160");
