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.
1. Generate id for User node type
You can use your preferred programming language or tool to encode node IDs to base64url as shown below:
Go Python PHP Node.js
Copy package main
import (
"encoding/base64"
"fmt"
)
func main () {
nodeID := base64.RawURLEncoding. EncodeToString ([] byte ( "User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160" ))
fmt. Println (nodeID)
}
Copy import base64
base64 . urlsafe_b64encode ( b 'User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160' ). replace ( b '=' , b '' )
Copy <? php
function base64url_encode ($data) {
return rtrim ( strtr ( base64_encode ( $data ), '+/' , '-_' ), '=' ) ;
}
$encoded_id = base64url_encode ( "User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160" ) ;
echo $encoded_id;
Copy const encoder = require ( 'base64-url' );
const encoded_id = encoder .encode ( "User:97b1c929-842c-415c-a7df-6967efdda160" );
console .log (encoded_id);
Fetch the User object example
The query:
Copy query {
node(id: "<BASE64URL_ENCODED_USER_NODE_ID>" ) {
... on User {
id
standardAttributes
}
}
}
2. Generate id for AuditLog node type
Go Python PHP Node.js
Copy package main
import (
"encoding/base64"
"fmt"
)
func main () {
nodeID := base64.RawURLEncoding. EncodeToString ([] byte ( "AuditLog:000000000004d2e7" ))
fmt. Println (nodeID)
}
Copy import base64
base64 . urlsafe_b64encode ( b 'AuditLog:000000000004d2e7' ). replace ( b '=' , b '' )
Copy <? php
function base64url_encode ($data) {
return rtrim ( strtr ( base64_encode ( $data ), '+/' , '-_' ), '=' ) ;
}
$encoded_id = base64url_encode ( "AuditLog:000000000004d2e7" ) ;
echo $encoded_id;
Copy const encoder = require ( 'base64-url' );
const encoded_id = encoder .encode ( "AuditLog:000000000004d2e7" );
console .log (encoded_id);

fmt. Println (nodeID)
}
Copy import base64
base64 . urlsafe_b64encode ( b 'Session:8891767c-992c-4c09-bbae-9a8337ae661k' ). replace ( b '=' , b '' )
Copy <? php
function base64url_encode ($data) {
return rtrim ( strtr ( base64_encode ( $data ), '+/' , '-_' ), '=' ) ;
}
$encoded_id = base64url_encode ( "Session:8891767c-992c-4c09-bbae-9a8337ae661k" ) ;
echo $encoded_id;
Copy const encoder = require ( 'base64-url' );
