In this guide, will show you how you can use me queries in Hashnode’s GraphQL API to fetch and integrate personal details.
The me query returns details of the current authenticated user and here’s how it looks:
query Me {

Here’s an example of how you can use it to fetch particular details such as: username, number of followers, badges received from Hashnode and social media profiles.
Step 1: Go to Account Settings on your profile.
Step 2: Click on the Developer option from the left sidebar and then click on Generate token to get the access token that we will be using below.
const query = `
query Me {
me {
id
name
followersCount
badges {
name
description
image
}
socialMediaLinks {
twitter
linkedin
}
}
}
`;
fetch('https://gql.hashnode.com', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN' // Replace with your actual token
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
const me = data.data.me;
console.log(`Name: ${me.name}`);
console.log(`Followers: ${me.followersCount}`);
console.log(`Twitter: ${me.socialMediaLinks.twitter}`);
console.log(`LinkedIn: ${me.socialMediaLinks.linkedin}`);
console.log('Badges:');
me.badges.forEach(badge => {
console.log(`- ${badge.name}: ${badge.description}`);
});
})
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
Here’s how the output will look like:
