## Endpoint

The Content API is a GraphQL API with a single endpoint. Every query and mutation is a `POST` to:

```sh
https://developer.swapcard.com/event-admin/graphql
```

## Authentication

Send an API key created in Swapcard Studio in the `Authorization` header. The key acts with the roles and permissions of the user who created it. See [Authentication](/organizer/authentication).
