# Creatora API

> Make your first GraphQL request, learn the core model, and follow task-based recipes.

Use the GraphQL API to work with your Creatora Platform. Start with a request, then follow the recipe for the task you need to complete. Queries, Mutations, and Types in this tab describe the supported public contract. The [production SDL](https://api.creatora.io/sdl) exposes additional operations that are not necessarily supported for integrations.
