# GraphQL Quick Start

Let's start with observing API playground of Acki Nacki testnet <https://shellnet.ackinacki.org/graphql>.

Learn how to read API documentation in the playground.

Then move to making an api request with curl.

And integrate it with TVM SDK.

## Playground

Go to <https://shellnet.ackinacki.org/graphql>

Insert this query in the left part.

```graphql
query{
blockchain{
    account(address:"0:1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"){
      info{
        balance(format:DEC)
        address
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Now click play button and you will see the result:

## Documentation

Click on the button "book" in the upper left corner of the screen. You will see the API documentation with all available fields.

## Request with curl

```
curl --location --request POST https://shellnet.ackinacki.org/graphql \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"query":"query($address: String!){\n  blockchain{\n    account(address:$address){\n      info{\n        balance(format:DEC)\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}","variables":{"address":"0:ee150cacfc7508f522dbd9bd6c705238ef316b324244843eea3e81e35ae2a962"}}'
```

## Request with SDK (JavaScript)

```javascript
const {TvmClient} = require("@tvmsdk/core");
const {libNode} = require("@tvmsdk/lib-node");

TvmClient.useBinaryLibrary(libNode)

const client = new TvmClient({
    network: {
        endpoints: [
            "https://shellnet.ackinacki.org/graphql"
        ],
    },
});

(async () => {
    try {
        // Get account balance. 
        const query = `
            query {
              blockchain {
                account(
                  address: "${address}"
                ) {
                   info {
                    balance(format: DEC)
                  }
                }
              }
            }`
        const {result}  = await client.net.query({query})
        console.log(`The account balance is ${result.data.blockchain.account.info.balance}`);
        client.close();
    }
    catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
}
)()
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.ackinacki.com/graphql/graphql-quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
