Get other language version urls via Heartcore GraphQL

Hi,

I am considering using GraphQL instead of the standard Heartcore content API to get heartcore content for my frontend.

I have noticed that the content API returns a _urls field for every item, which shows the item's URL in all of the languages, and that field seems to be missing in the GraphQL implementation.

Since I want to implement hreflang in my frontend, I need the urls of the language variants. How can I get this data, without using multiple queries (per locale) in GraphQL?

Kind regards,

Hey Davy, I really can´t add anything to your question, but I tried to only get those articles available in a certain language. I managed that setting the header in API-Browser, but couldn´t find anything in the documentation about culture.

How do you actually set the culture in GraphQL fo Heartcore?

Best, Gerhard

Figured it out, after re-reading the documentation.
```
{allBasePage {
    items{
      name (culture:"de"),
      url (culture:"de"),
      contentTypeAlias,
        headline (culture:"de")
    }
  }
}
```
so this actually returns all nodes, but "null" for those where a german value is not available. Is there a shortcut to set this globally?

Hi Gerhard,

Try putting (culture: "de") on items. Like:
```
{allBasePage {
    items(culture:"de") {
      name ,
      url ,
      contentTypeAlias,
        headline 
    }
  }
```
If that doesn't work, put it on allBasePage?

But still - my own question still stands: is there a GraphQL alternative to the _urls field that exists in the Content Delivery API?

Thanks, works if I put them here:
```
  allBasePage(culture:"de") 
```

Found the answer to my own question: "how do I get other language version urls via Heartcore GraphQL?"

You can supply a culture parameter to the content.url field!

So to get the urls of the nodes in multiple languages you can do:
```
query {
  allContent {
    edges {
      node {
        name,
        url_en: url(culture: "en-US")
        url_fr: url(culture: "fr-FR")
      }
    }
  }
}
```
Compared to the _urls field in the content API, here you need to explicitly make a field per language url in your graphql query, but you don't often need to add languages to a setup so I can live with that.
