API Command

{
  deployments {
    uid
    name
    zone
    url
    owner
    jwtToken
    deploymentMode
    deploymentType
    lambdaScript
  }
}

Example

  • <cerebro-jwt> is the JWT returned from Authentication.
  • <lambda-token> is a base64 string that will be non-empty if you have saved Lambdas on your backend
#!/usr/bin/env bash

CEREBRO_JWT="<cerebro-jwt>"

curl 'https://cerebro.cloud.dgraph.io/graphql' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CEREBRO_JWT}" \
  --data-binary '{"query":"{\n deployments {\n uid\n name\n zone\n url\n owner\n jwtToken\n deploymentMode\n deploymentType\n lambdaScript\n }\n}","variables":{}}' \
