Common GraphQL Types Overview

The common types are the building blocks every Insites GraphQL query and mutation uses. When a query takes a filter or returns a RecordCollection, the shape of that argument or result is a common type. This section lists them by kind.

Use these pages when you write a query by hand. They tell you which fields a type has, which values an enum allows and which operators a filter accepts.

The kinds of type

The counts come from introspection of the docs.insites.io instance on 1 November 2026. Every instance has the same schema, but deprecated fields are left out of introspection, so the counts are a guide rather than a contract.

The queries and mutations pages list the root operations themselves.

Example: look up a type yourself

Any type can be read from the instance with an introspection query. This is the fastest way to check a type while you write code:

{
  __type(name: "Customizable") {
    kind
    name
    possibleTypes { name }
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "__type": {
      "kind": "UNION",
      "name": "Customizable",
      "possibleTypes": [
        { "name": "Listing" },
        { "name": "Profile" },
        { "name": "User" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Common mistakes

• Passing an object type where an input is expected. Arguments always take input types.
• Writing an enum value as a string. Write order: ASC, not order: "ASC".
• Assuming a field is missing because introspection does not list it. Deprecated fields are hidden there but may still run.

• InputsFilters, sorts and other arguments.
• ObjectsThe results queries return.
