Code for the BhagavadGita.io GraphQL API, which is an app built for Gita readers by Gita readers.
The Bhagavad Gita GraphQL API allows any developer to use content from Gita in their apps.
Documentation for this API is available here: GraphiQL UI
We are using PostGraphile to instantly spin up a GraphQL API from our PostgreSQL database.
Here is a list of interesting projects using this API.
Have you build something with this API ? Open a "Show and tell" discussion. The maintainers will feature your project on the README if they find it interesting.
The official API is free to use for all. But If you wish you can self host anywhere you want.
If you want to deploy your own instance,You can deploy
the API server on your system or VPS using docker:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -dNow open http://localhost:5433/graphiql to see the docs. To stop the server, press Ctrl + C on your keyboard.
