Steps to create a create a public explorer

I’d like to create a public graph explorer for our API — similar to the Linear API found here: Linear API's Graph | GraphOS Studio

Note, the graph url endpoint is: Endpoint: https://api.linear.app/graphql
When I attempt to create one for Duro (our PLM application), I enter https://mfg.duro.app/graphql — but when I follow through in the wizard and enter it; it makes a supergraph; and gives me some cloud URL. https://current--duro-mfg.apollographos.net/graphql

This is not what I’m looking for.

I just want to share the graph for the URL I entered. How do I do this?

Hey there @ded! The Linear API you linked looks like it’s using a public variant. Our docs have the instructions on how to enable that.

If you’re using Apollo Server for your GraphQL API, you can set the Explorer to be the default landing page. Here’s the page on the docs on how to do that.

If you aren’t using Apollo Server, then the only other option would be to go through that flow you mentioned, where it creates a supergraph. Essentially it adds a router in front of your API and provides a cloud URL. You can then follow the steps to create a public variant.
