🚀 GraphQL API Implementation¶

Created: 2025-10-31 Status: ✅ 95% Complete Framework: Strawberry GraphQL

Overview¶

The Cidadão.AI GraphQL API provides a modern, efficient interface for data fetching with support for queries, mutations, and real-time subscriptions. Built with Strawberry GraphQL framework, it offers type safety, auto-documentation, and excellent performance.

✅ Implemented Features¶

1. Core Schema (`src/api/graphql/schema.py`)¶

Types¶

User - User account information
Investigation - Investigation details with relationships
Finding - Investigation findings
Anomaly - Detected anomalies
Contract - Government contracts
ChatMessage - Chat conversation messages
AgentStats - Agent performance statistics

Input Types¶

InvestigationInput - Create investigation parameters
ChatInput - Chat message input
SearchFilter - Generic search filtering
PaginationInput - Pagination parameters

2. Queries¶

type Query {
  # User queries
  me: User                                    # Get current user

  # Investigation queries
  investigation(id: ID!): Investigation        # Get by ID
  investigations(                             # Search with filters
    filters: [SearchFilter]
    pagination: PaginationInput
  ): [Investigation!]!

  # Contract queries
  contracts(                                  # Search contracts
    search: String
    orgao: String
    minValue: Float
    maxValue: Float
    pagination: PaginationInput
  ): [Contract!]!

  # Statistics
  agentStats: [AgentStats!]!                 # Agent performance metrics
}

3. Mutations¶

type Mutation {
  # Investigation mutations
  createInvestigation(
    input: InvestigationInput!
  ): Investigation!

  cancelInvestigation(
    id: ID!
  ): Investigation!

  # Chat mutations
  sendChatMessage(
    input: ChatInput!
  ): ChatMessage!
}

4. Subscriptions¶

type Subscription {
  # Real-time updates
  investigationUpdates(
    investigationId: ID!
  ): Investigation!

  # Agent monitoring
  agentActivity: AgentStats!
}

5. API Routes (`src/api/routes/graphql.py`)¶

/graphql - Main GraphQL endpoint
/graphql/playground - Interactive GraphQL IDE
/graphql/health - Health check endpoint
/graphql/examples - Example queries documentation

6. Features¶

Authentication & Context¶

async def get_context(request: Request, user=Depends(get_current_optional_user)):
    return {
        "request": request,
        "user": user,
        "db": request.app.state.db
    }

Performance Monitoring¶

class PerformanceExtension(Extension):
    """Track GraphQL query performance."""
    async def on_request_end(self):
        duration = (datetime.utcnow() - self.start_time).total_seconds() * 1000
        logger.info(f"GraphQL request completed in {duration:.2f}ms")

Query Caching¶

@strawberry.field
@cached_query(ttl=300)  # Cache for 5 minutes
async def investigation(self, info: Info, id: ID) -> Optional[Investigation]:
    # Cached query implementation

📝 Usage Examples¶

1. Get Current User¶

query GetMe {
  me {
    id
    email
    name
    role
    investigations(limit: 5) {
      id
      query
      status
    }
  }
}

2. Create Investigation¶

mutation CreateInvestigation {
  createInvestigation(input: {
    query: "Analyze contracts from Ministry of Health 2024"
    priority: "high"
    dataSources: ["portal_transparencia", "tce"]
  }) {
    id
    query
    status
    createdAt
  }
}

3. Search Investigations with Pagination¶

query SearchInvestigations {
  investigations(
    filters: [
      { field: "status", operator: "eq", value: "completed" }
      { field: "confidenceScore", operator: "gt", value: 0.8 }
    ]
    pagination: {
      limit: 20
      offset: 0
      orderBy: "createdAt"
      orderDir: "desc"
    }
  ) {
    id
    query
    status
    confidenceScore
    findings {
      type
      severity
      title
    }
  }
}

4. Real-time Investigation Updates¶

subscription WatchInvestigation {
  investigationUpdates(investigationId: "inv-123") {
    id
    status
    confidenceScore
    completedAt
    processingTimeMs
  }
}

5. Monitor Agent Activity¶

subscription MonitorAgents {
  agentActivity {
    agentName
    totalTasks
    successfulTasks
    failedTasks
    avgResponseTimeMs
    lastActive
  }
}

6. Complex Nested Query¶

query ComplexInvestigation($id: ID!) {
  investigation(id: $id) {
    id
    query
    status
    confidenceScore
    createdAt
    completedAt
    processingTimeMs

    # Nested relationships
    findings {
      id
      type
      title
      description
      severity
      confidence
      evidence
    }

    anomalies {
      id
      type
      description
      severity
      confidenceScore
      affectedEntities
      detectionMethod
    }

    user {
      id
      name
      email
      role
    }
  }
}
