How to Get Customer Details Using GraphQL in Magento 2?

Magento 2

Magento 2’s GraphQL API allows you to easily retrieve customer details such as their name, email, and addresses. This tutorial shows you how to do it with a simple GraphQL query.

Prerequisites:

  • Magento 2.3.x or higher
  • A customer logged in

Step 1: Get the Customer Token

To access customer data, you first need a customer token for authentication. You can generate it with the customer’s email and password.

Generate Customer Token:

mutation {
  generateCustomerToken(
    email: "[email protected]"
    password: "customer_password"
  ) {
    token
  }
}

Step 2: Query Customer Details

Once you have the token, use it to request customer data. Here’s a simple GraphQL query to get the customer’s name, email, and address:

query {
  customer {
    firstname
    lastname
    email
    addresses {
      id
      street
      city
      postcode
      country {
        code
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Send the Request

Now, send a POST request to the /graphql endpoint, passing the token in the Authorization header.

curl -X POST https://yourmagentostore.com/graphql \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {customer_token}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "query { customer { firstname lastname email addresses { id street city postcode country { code } } } }"}'

Step 4: Response

The response will look like this:

{
  "data": {
    "customer": {
      "firstname": "John",
      "lastname": "Doe",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "addresses": [
        {
          "id": 1,
          "street": ["123 Main St"],
          "city": "Los Angeles",
          "postcode": "90001",
          "country": { "code": "US" }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Conclusion

By using GraphQL, you can quickly fetch customer details with minimal effort. Simply generate the token, run a query, and you’ll have the data you need in a clean format.
