# GraphQL Analytics

Use the GraphQL Analytics API to retrieve Network Flow (formerly Magic Network Monitoring) flow data.

Before you begin, you must have an [API token](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/getting-started/authentication/). For additional help getting started with GraphQL Analytics, refer to [GraphQL Analytics API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/).

### Obtain your Cloudflare Account ID

To query Network Flow data via GraphQL, you need your Cloudflare Account ID.

1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard, and select your account.
[ Go to **Account home** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/home) 
1. The URL in your browser's address bar should show `https://dash.cloudflare.com/` followed by a hex string. The hex string is your Cloudflare Account ID.

## Explore GraphQL schema with Network Flow example

Run a test query to retrieve bits and packets aggregated in five-minute intervals. Copy and paste the following code into GraphiQL.

For additional information about the Analytics schema, refer to [Explore the Analytics schema with GraphiQL](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/getting-started/explore-graphql-schema/).

```
query MagicNetworkMonitoring($accountTag: string!, $start: Time, $end: Time) {  viewer {    accounts(filter: { accountTag: $accountTag }) {      mnmFlowDataAdaptiveGroups(        filter: { datetime_gt: $start, datetime_leq: $end }        limit: 10        orderBy: [datetimeFiveMinutes_DESC]      ) {        sum {          bits          packets        }        dimensions {          datetimeFiveMinutes        }      }    }  }}
```

Note

Cloudflare analytics are case sensitive for paths and URIs. Make sure that filters or queries use the correct case.
