# Settings node

Cloudflare GraphQL API exposes more than 70 datasets to its customers. These datasets represent different Cloudflare products with very different data shapes; thus, each has its configuration of [limits](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/limits/).

Although we allow access to ALL plans for the essential datasets (like `httpRequestsAdaptiveGroups`, `firewallEventsAdaptive`, etc), users on larger plans benefit from an extended set of datasets and wider query limits.

In addition to [introspection](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/features/discovery/introspection/), users can use the Settings node that is available for both zones and accounts scopes.

## Format

`Settings` node has all datasets from `zones` and `accounts` as fields.

Using a settings node on accounts nodes

```
{  viewer {    accounts(filter: { accountTag : $accountTag }) {      settings {        # any dataset(s) from accounts      }    }    zones(filter: { zoneTag : $zoneTag }) {      settings {        # any dataset(s) from zones      }    }  }}
```

Every subnode of `settings` node could consist of these fields:

* `enabled` \- shows whether the node is available for a requester or not;
* `availableFields` \- shows the list of fields available for a requester. If it is a nested field, the path will be returned, like `sum_requests`;
* `maxPageSize` \- retrieves the maximum number of records that can be returned
* `maxNumberOfFields` \- answers on how many fields could be used in a single query for that node;
* `notOlderThan` \- returns a number of seconds on how far back in time a query can read;
* `maxDuration` \- shows how wide the requested time range could be.

## A sample query

Get boundaries of firewallEventsAdaptive node

```
query SampleQuery($zoneTag: string) {  viewer {    zones(filter: { zoneTag: $zoneTag }) {      settings {        firewallEventsAdaptive {          enabled          maxDuration          maxNumberOfFields          maxPageSize          notOlderThan        }      }    }  }}
```

firewallEventsAdaptive limits for a given user

```
{  "data": {    "viewer": {      "zones": [        {          "settings": {            "firewallEventsAdaptive": {              "enabled": true,              "maxDuration": 259200,              "maxNumberOfFields": 30,              "maxPageSize": 10000,              "notOlderThan": 2678400            }          }        }      ]    }  },  "errors": null}
```
