The JupiterOne platform exposes a number of public GraphQL endpoints.

Base URL: https://api.us.jupiterone.io

Endpoint for query and graph operations: /graphql

Endpoint for alert and rules operations: /rules/graphql

Rate Limits: rate limiting is enforced per account at 30 query requests per minute with an allowable burst of 30 requests at once

An experimental node.js client and CLI can be found on Github.

Entity and Relationship Queries

Endpoint: /graphql

Fetching Vertices with J1QL

This query will allow you to run J1QL queries for fetching data. The query requires three parameters:

  • query: A query string that describes what data to be returned
  • variables: A JSON list of values to be used as parameters for this query
  • dryRun: A boolean that determines if the query is a dry run or not.
query J1QL($query: String!, $variables: JSON, $dryRun: Boolean) {
  queryV1(query: $query, variables: $variables, dryRun: $dryRun) {
    type
    data
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "query": "find Person with _type=${type}",
  "variables": {
    "type": "employee"
  },
  "dryRun": true
}

NOTE: there's also a queryV1Tree variant that has nice types for use when displaying graph data. The tree specifies vertices and edges.

query J1QL($query: String!, $variables: JSON, $dryRun: Boolean) {
  queryV1Tree(query: $query, variables: $variables, dryRun: $dryRun) {
    type
    data {
      vertices {
        id
        edges {
          id
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "query": "find Person with _type=${type} return tree",
  "variables": {
    "type": "employee"
  },
  "dryRun": true
}

Fetching Graph Data

This query will be used for fetching graph data. The returned data includes the details of all vertices found on the graph as well as the edges that connect the vertices.

Note: At the moment, a canned query for IAM Role data is run. No input variables need to be provided.

query testQuery {
  queryGraph {
    vertices {
      id
      entity {
        _id
        _key
        _type
        _accountId
        _integrationName
        _integrationDefinitionId
        _integrationInstanceId
        _version
        _createdOn
        _beginOn
        _endOn
        _deleted
        displayName
      }
      properties
    }
    edges {
      id
      toVertexId
      fromVertexId
      relationship {
        _id
        _key
        _type
        _accountId
        _integrationName
        _integrationDefinitionId
        _integrationInstanceId
        _version
        _createdOn
        _beginOn
        _endOn
        _deleted
        _fromEntityKey
        _toEntityKey
        displayName
      }
      properties
    }
  }
}

Retrieving a Single Vertex by ID

This query will be used for fetching a vertex and its properties by its ID. The query requires one of two parameters:

  • id: The ID as a string
  • filters: A set of filters that define the desired vertex.

The example below contains all of the currently available filters.

NOTE: Only one of the variables (id or filters) is required. Specifying both is allowed but somewhat redundant unless you want to assert that a vertex with the specified id exists and has specific entity properties.

query VertexQuery($id: String!, $filters: VertexFilters) {
  vertex(id: $id, filters: $filters) {
    id
    entity {
      _id
      _key
      _type
      _accountId
      _integrationName
      _integrationDefinitionId
      _integrationInstanceId
      _version
      _createdOn
      _beginOn
      _endOn
      _deleted
      displayName
    }
    properties
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "id": "<a vertex id>",
  "filters": {
    "_id": "<an entity id>",
    "_key": "<an entity key>",
    "_type": ["<a entity type>"],
    "_class": ["<a entity class>"]
  }
}

Fetching Neighbors of a Vertex

The Vertex type allows you to retrieve vertex and edge neighbors up to a certain depth using the neighbors field. The return type of the neighbors resolver is the same as that of a graph query. This query requires two parameters:

  • id: The ID of the vertex as a string
  • depth: An integer specifying how many "levels" deep the query will go to look for neighbors.
query VertexQuery($id: String!, $depth: Int) {
  vertex(id: $id) {
    id
    entity {
      displayName
    }
    neighbors(depth: $depth) {
      vertices {
        id
        entity {
          displayName
        }
      }
      edges {
        id
        relationship {
          displayName
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "id": "<a vertex id>",
  "depth": 5
}

NOTE: The depth that is supplied must be a value between 1 and 5 (inclusive)

Retrieving an Edge by ID

This query allows you to fetch an edge, its properties, and the relationship it describes by its ID or label and filters. The query requires one or two of three parameters:

  • id: The ID as a string.
  • label: The label displayed on the edge.
  • filters: A set of filters that define the desired vertex.

The example below contains all of the currently available filters.

NOTE: Only one of the variables (id, label, or filters) is required. Specifying label and filters with id is allowed but somewhat redundant unless you want to assert that a vertex with the specified id exists and has the specific label and properties.

query VertexQuery($id: String!) {
  edge(id: $id, label: $id, filters: $id) {
    id
    relationship {
      _id
      _key
      _type
      _accountId
      _integrationName
      _integrationDefinitionId
      _integrationInstanceId
      _version
      _createdOn
      _beginOn
      _endOn
      _deleted
      _fromEntityKey
      _toEntityKey
      displayName
    }
    properties
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "id": "<an edge id>",
  "label": "<edge label>",
  "filters": {
    "_id": "<a relationship id>",
    "_key": "<a relationship key>",
    "_type": "<a relationship type>",
    "_class": "<a relationship class>"
  }
}

Fetching the Count of Entities Via a _type and/or _class

This query allows you to fetch the count of entities. The _id, _key, _type, or _class fields can be supplied as filters. This query only counts the latest versions of entities matching the filter criteria. This query requires two parameters:

  • filters: A set of vertex filters that describe the entities that are to be returned.
  • filterType: A FilterType (AND or OR).

If OR is specified as the filter type, any entity that has any class in the filter will be included in the count. By default, the query uses AND, which only includes entities that have all of the specified classes in the count.

Note: This resolver uses the JSON scalar as the return type.

query testQuery($filters: VertexFilters, $filterType: FilterType) {
  entityCount(filters: $filters, filterType: $filterType)
}

Note: Use field aliases to request the counts of multiple different entities.

query testQuery {
  Users: entityCount(filters: { _class: ["User"] }, filterType: "AND")
  Repos: entityCount(filters: { _class: ["CodeRepo"] }, filterType: "OR")
}

Example result:

{
  "User": 40,
  "CodeRepo": 153
}

Fetching the Count of All Types and Classes

This query returns the entity counts for all types and classes.

Note: This resolver uses the JSON scalar as the return type.

query testQuery {
  allEntityCounts
}

Example result:

{
  "typeCounts": {
    "iam_user": 12,
    "iam_managed_policy": 10,
    "iam_role_policy": 10
  },
  "classCounts": {
    "User": 12,
    "AccessPolicy": 20
  }
}

Fetching the Count of All Types With a Set of Classes

This query returns all types that have the specified classes. The query requires two parameters:

  • classes: An array of strings detailing which classes should be returned.
  • filterType: A FilterType (AND or OR).

If OR is specified as the filter type, any entity that has any class in the filter will be included in the count. By default, the query uses AND, which only includes entities that have all of the specified classes in the count.

Note: This resolver uses the JSON scalar as the return type.

query testQuery ($classes: [String], filterType: FilterType) {
  typeCounts (classes: $classes, filterType: $filterType)
}

Example result:

{
  "iam_user": 12,
  "iam_managed_policy": 10,
  "iam_role_policy": 10
}

Listing Vertices Via a _type and/or _class

For fetching entities with specified filters. The _id, _key, _type and _class fields can be supplied as filters. This query only returns the latest versions of entities matching the filter criteria. This query accepts three parameters:

  • filters: A set of vertex filters that describe the entities to return (required).
  • after: A string to begin searching after (required).
  • filterType: A FilterType (AND or OR).

If OR is specified as the filter type, any entity that has any class in the filter will be included in the count. By default, the query uses AND, which only includes entities that have all of the specified classes in the count.

query testQuery($filters: VertexFilters, $filterType: FilterType, $after: String) {
  listVertices(filters: $filters, filterType: $filterType, after: $after) {
    vertices {
      id
      entity {
        // entity details here
      }
      properties
    }
    total
    pageInfo {
      endCursor
      hasNextPage
    }
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "filters": {
    "_type": ["<an entity type>"],
    "_class": ["<an entity class>"]
  },
  "filterType": "<AND or OR>",
  "after": "the value of pageInfo.endCursor"
}

Example result

{
  "vertices": [
    {
      "id": "some-id",
      "entity": {
        "displayName": "Laptop-2345"
      }
    }
  ],

  "pageInfo": {
    "endCursor": "some-base64-cursor",
    "hasNextPage": true
  }
}

Integration Operations

Finding an Integration Definition based on a type

This query returns an Integration Definition. This query requires an Integration Type.

query testQuery ($integrationType: String!) {
  findIntegrationDefinition (integrationType: $integrationType) {
    id
    name
    type
    title
    integrationType
    integrationClass
    configFields {
      key
      displayName
      description
    }
  }
}

Getting an Integration Definition with an ID

This query returns a Integration Definition. This query requires an ID.

query getIntegrationDefinition($id: String) {
  integrationDefinition(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    type
    title
  }
}

List Integration Definitions

Example Usages

Creating entities and a relationship between them NOTE: The following mutations utilize a J1Client.

const CREATE_ENTITY = gql`
  mutation createEntity (
    $entityKey: String!
    $entityType: String!
    $entityClass: String!
    $timestamp: Long
    $properties: JSON
  ) {
    createEntity(
      entityKey: $entityKey
      entityType: $entityType
      entityClass: $entityClass
      properties: $properties
    ) {
  .
  .
  .
  }`;

const CREATE_RELATIONSHIP = gql`
  mutation CreateRelationship (
    $relationshipKey: String!
    $relationshipType: String!
    $relationshipClass: String!
    $fromEntityId: String!
    $toEntityId: String!
  ) {
    createRelationship (
      relationshipKey: $relationshipKey
      relationshipType: $relationshipType
      relationshipClass: $relationshipClass
      fromEntityId: $fromEntityId
      toEntityId: $toEntityId
    ) {
    .
    .
    .
  }`;


const entity1 = await j1Client.mutate({
  mutation: CREATE_ENTITY,
  variable: {
    entityKey: 'Example Key',
    entityType: 'ExampleType',
    entityClass: 'ExampleClass',
    properties: {
      'tag.key': 'tagvalue'
    }
  }
});

const entity2 = await j1Client.mutate({
  mutation CREATE_ENTITY,
  variable: {
    entityKey: 'Other Example Key',
    entityType: 'OtherType',
    entityClass: 'OtherClass',
    properties: {
      'tag.key': 'tag'
    }
  }
});

const relationship = await j1Client.mutate({
  mutation: CREATE_RELATIONSHIP,
  variable: {
    relationshipKey: entity1._key + ' |uses| ' + entity2._key,
    relationshipClass: 'entity_uses_entity',
    relationshipType: 'USES',
    toEntityId: entity2._id,
    toEntityKey: entity1._id,
  }
});
