API Stability Long-Term

The token() GraphQL query is used to get information on a token based on its unique identification.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the token() query field:

graphql
token(
      tokenId: string!
   ): Token!

There is no special input datatype for this query field. Below is an example of how it might be used:

Raw
graphql
query {
  token(
     tokenID: "JEI37lwq2V6k9es8xQPx9F5" 
    )
    { name, expireAt }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query {
  token(
     tokenID: \"JEI37lwq2V6k9es8xQPx9F5\" 
    )
    { name, expireAt }
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \

{"query" : "query {
  token(
     tokenID: \"JEI37lwq2V6k9es8xQPx9F5\" 
    )
    { name, expireAt }
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
