Resource limitations

Node limit

To pass schema validation, all GraphQL API calls must meet these standards:

• Clients must supply a first or last argument on any connection.
• Values of first and last must be within 1-100.
• Individual calls cannot request more than 500,000 total nodes.

Calculating nodes in a call

These two examples show how to calculate the total nodes in a call.

1. Simple query:

   query {
     viewer {
       repositories(first: 50) {
         edges {
           repository:node {
             name
   
             issues(first: 10) {
               totalCount
               edges {
                 node {
                   title
                   bodyHTML
                 }
               }
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }
