  • Add additional working examples
    • Walkthru showing how to take a GraphiQL query and automate in scripting
    • Additional working examples with curl
    • Example(s) filtering output with e.g. jq
    • Example using chrome devtools, [e.g. copy as curl]
    • Using GraphiQL to explore the GraphQL data model
  • Clarify authentication
    • Personal Token access settings
  • Troubleshooting
  • Add Charlie & Sameer's Contribute videos
