GraphQL delivery API is used to access the published site content. Experience Edge for Experience Manager (XM) is an API-based service from Sitecore that gives you globally replicated, scalable access to your XM Cloud items, layout, and media. You can use the standard publish tools in XM Cloud , but instead of rendering content from a self-hosted Content Delivery environment, Experience Edge provides you a Sitecore-hosted GraphQL API.
To access the XM Cloud hosted published site content using Expereince Edge follow these steps-
Login to XM Cloud. Navigate to Projects ==> Environments ==>Details tab.
Launch IDE for Live GraphQL
The URL for GraphQL IDE –
https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/api/graphql/ide
GraphQL edge endpoint is –
https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/api/graphql/v1
Let stry a simple query to get siteinfo-
If you see this error- JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Generate Delivery API token-
Add X_GQL-TOKEN in header with newly generated token vlaue
You should now be able to access only the published Site content using Experience Edge.
