# W3C Graph Store Protocol Endpoint

`GET /{storeName}/graphs`

This endpoint implements the [SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol](http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/).

Using this API, you can retrieve the RDF content of a named graph or the default graph of the store;
or retrieve a list of the graphs contained in the store.

**NOTE** When using this API to retrieve a list of the graphs in the store,
only application/json and application/xml are supported as response formats.
When requesting the content of a graph using either the `default` or `graph`
query parameter; the full range of RDF serialization formats (including 
both application/json and application/xml are supported).

## Path parameters

- `storeName` string, required

## Query parameters

- `default` boolean
- `graph` string, url

## Response `200`

Successful response

- object — This schema describes the JSON format returned when the `graph` and `default` query parameters are **NOT** provided. If either of these query parameters are provided, the response will be RDF serialized in the format specified by the Accept header of the request. If a SPARQL query results format is requested in the Accept header, the result will be a SPARQL result set with a single column that lists each of the graph IRIs in the store on a separate row.
  - `graphs` string[]
