Moda Operandi

aid: moda-operandi
name: Moda Operandi
description: Moda Operandi is a New York-based luxury fashion e-commerce marketplace founded in 2010 by Lauren Santo Domingo
  and Aslaug Magnusdottir, built around the "trunkshow" model — customers pre-order directly from designers' full runway collections
  weeks before the clothes reach stores — alongside a conventional in-season boutique carrying more than 1,000 brands across
  ready-to-wear, fine jewelry, home and beauty. The company publishes no developer program, no partner API documentation and
  no OpenAPI definition. It does, however, operate a first-party GraphQL search and merchandising API at search.modaoperandi.com/graphql
  that powers modaoperandi.com itself, which answers anonymous introspection and exposes a read-only, 37-field catalog graph
  (trunkshows, designers, looks, product variants, recommendations and faceted search). Moda Operandi also publishes its design
  system and design tokens as first-party npm packages under the @moda scope.

  name: Moda Operandi Search API
  description: The first-party GraphQL API that powers search, browse and merchandising on modaoperandi.com. It is referenced
    by the storefront's own client bundle as SEARCH_API_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT, answers anonymous introspection, and is read-only
    — the schema declares a Query root and no mutation or subscription root. Thirty-seven query fields cover keyword search
    and autocomplete, faceted product-listing collections, designers, trunkshows, looks, variants, gift categories, editorial
    slides and Algolia-backed recommendations (bought_together, looking_similar, related_products, trending_items). Moda Operandi
    does not document this API for third-party use; it is captured here as an observed public surface.

  detail: Moda Operandi publishes no developer program, but STEP 0b contract discovery found a real, anonymously introspectable

    own runtime config — and its full 121-type schema was captured verbatim.
