GraphCDN: This endpoint requires you to be authenticated

Question

I'm just starting to use GraphCDN with GraphQL and there's something that I don't understand. I set up my service as detailed in the documentation and now I have **.graphcdn.app/ caching my original https://***.com/graphql

Now to test I'm trying the new endpoint. But while some endpoints are open and need no authentication on my graphql api, the same endpoint would give the error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "This endpoint requires you to be authenticated.",
    "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/graphql/guides/forming-calls-with-graphql#authenticating-with-graphql"
  }
}

in GraphCDN. Any ideas on how I can get around this, or what am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you created a service that proxies through to the GitHub GraphQL API, hence why the API responds with a "This endpoint requires you to be authenticated" error that has a docs.github.com link in it.

In order to point it at your own GraphQL API (which doesn't require authentication), change the "Origin URL" in your service's settings to the URL of your GraphQL API:
