GQL endpoint not found in RDE publisher

Hi @aem_leadi6,

1. Check Dispatcher Configuration

If you're using AEMaaCS RDE or Stage/Prod with a dispatcher:

• Direct POST to GraphQL endpoints is often blocked unless dispatcher rules explicitly allow it.

Check in dispatcher filters:

/0011 { /type "allow" /method "POST" /url "/content/_cq_graphql/.*" }

• Make sure that POST requests to GraphQL endpoints are whitelisted.

• Also ensure GraphQL .graphql.json URLs are not denied by any rule further down.

You can test this by trying the same POST request directly on the publish instance bypassing dispatcher (if accessible). If it works there, your dispatcher is blocking it.

2. Correct Content Path

Make sure you’re POSTing to the GraphQL endpoint at the correct project-specific path. Example:

POST https://<publish-url>/content/_cq_graphql/my-project.graphql.json

Payload:

{
  "query": "{ allArticles { items { title } } }"
}

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

If the my-project name is incorrect or your endpoint isn’t available on publish, it will return a 404.

3. Published everything twice?

• Confirm not only the content, but also:

  • GraphQL schema/model

  • GraphQL persisted queries (if using)

  • The .graphql.json endpoint nodes

• Use CRXDE on publish to verify that /content/_cq_graphql/<your-project> exists and is published.

4. Enable GraphQL in AEM Publish

If you're using custom configurations:

• Make sure GraphQL is enabled in your AEM publish runmode.

• Check that no GraphQL-related servlet or filter is restricted on publish.

Final Suggestion

If you need to debug further:

• Try the POST query on author directly — if it works there, the issue is with publish or dispatcher.

• Use curl to test:

curl -X POST \
  https://<publish-url>/content/_cq_graphql/my-project.graphql.json \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{ "query": "{ allArticles { items { title } } }" }'
