I'm trying to create a new service in my Railway project using the GraphQL API (v2) through Postman, but I keep getting the following error response:
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "Problem processing request",
"traceId": "4634186857790866770"
}
]
}▶️ What I’m Doing
Mutation:
serviceCreate($input: ServiceCreateInput!)Tool: Postman (GraphQL tab)
API Endpoint:
[https://backboard.railway.app/graphql/v2](https://backboard.railway.app/graphql/v2)Auth: Bearer token in headers (fully working with other queries like
me,teams, etc.)
🔧 GraphQL Mutation
mutation serviceCreate($input: ServiceCreateInput!) {
serviceCreate(input: $input) {
__typename
id
name
projectId
createdAt
updatedAt
deletedAt
icon
templateThreadSlug
}
}🧩 Variables
{
"input": {
"projectId": "d1909034-17dd-4603-9f3d-10b4496ad718",
"name": "my-service",
"source": {
"type": "GITHUB",
"github": {
"repo": "ru-dr/yatrazen",
"branch": "main",
"rootDirectory": "/"
}
}
}
}✅ Things I’ve Already Checked
The project ID is valid and created just before this step.
GitHub repo
ru-dr/yatrazenexists and is public.mainbranch exists and contains a basic Node project withpackage.json.Same token works for listing projects and teams.
🙋♂️ Context — What I’m Building
I’m building a platform for developers that lets users:
Connect or upload their GitHub repositories
Deploy them to Railway using my API backend
Automatically get a deployment preview/production link
Basically, I want users to interact with Railway without going to the Railway dashboard.
To do this, I’m integrating with the Railway GraphQL Public API to:
Create a project
Create a service from a GitHub repo
Monitor deployments and fetch the deployment link

is there any way to solve it, also the api documentation is not complete, i think.

@ThallesComH well kind of but I can't understand, why I am getting a bad request and if I am missing something or adding a wrong request body then why the response is not telling me what is wrong, or is it an API issue.

@ThallesComH also I think there is no full documentation for the API, bcz on the site I can't seem to find it and in postman it's lacking the simplicity or example based docs.

I can agree that the API is not fully great at the moment, the team might work on a v2 on the future (no plans at the moment, being clear) https://discord.com/channels/713503345364697088/727689277219012669/1352155627329163335
for now, feel free to open any help thread related to it.

for docs, the Railway API is in graphql so all the reference for it is already available but if you're talking about guides then unfortunately none is available at the moment.
