+# API routes with GraphQL server
+
+## How to use
+
+### Using `create-next-app`
+
+Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/segmentio/create-next-app) with [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/) or [npx](https://github.com/zkat/npx#readme) to bootstrap the example:
+
+```bash
+npx create-next-app --example api-routes-graphql api-routes-graphql-app
+# or
+yarn create next-app --example api-routes-graphql api-routes-graphql-app
+```
+
+### Download manually
+
+Download the example:
+
+```bash
+curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/api-routes-graphql
+cd api-routes-graphql
+```
+
+Install it and run:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dev
+# or
+yarn
+yarn dev
+```
+
+Deploy it to the cloud with [now](https://zeit.co/now) ([download](https://zeit.co/download))
+
+```bash
+now
+```
+
+## The idea behind the example
+
+Next.js ships with [API routes](https://github.com/zeit/next.js#api-routes), which provide an easy solution to build your own `API`. This example shows their usage alongside [apollo-server-micro](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-server/tree/master/packages/apollo-server-micro) to provide simple GraphQL server consumed by Next.js app.
