This guide walks you through the essentials of using Xano’s backend to build, manage, and optimize your APIs with GraphQL.

Ideal for both experienced developers and GraphQL beginners, this overview provides the key insights needed to harness Xano's tools for strong API solutions.
First things first, create an account on Xano or just log in if you’re already a member. This is your gateway to the Xano dashboard and all its cool features.
Head over to the dashboard and hit "Create New Workspace." Think of this workspace as your project’s home base for all things API development.
Click on the "Data" tab to set up your database schema. Add the tables, fields, and relationships that your API will need to work with.
Once your schema is ready, go ahead and add some sample data to your tables. This will help with testing and make sure your GraphQL API has something to query.
Navigate to the "API" tab and select "GraphQL". Click "Enable GraphQL" to turn on GraphQL for your workspace. Easy peasy!
After enabling GraphQL, Xano will automatically whip up a basic schema based on your data models. This schema is the backbone of your GraphQL API.
Xano lets you tweak resolvers to define how data is fetched or changed. Go to the "Resolvers" section to adjust the default ones or create new ones to fit your API needs.
Use Xano’s built-in GraphQL playground to test your queries and mutations. This step is crucial to make sure your API behaves as expected before you go live.
If your API needs authentication, add those layers now. Xano supports various authentication methods, which you can set up under the "Auth" section of your workspace.
After thorough testing, deploy your API. Use Xano’s monitoring tools to keep an eye on API performance and handle any issues that pop up after deployment.
