## Get Your GraphQL URL

\
Depending on where your dbt account is hosted, you need to obtain a different url.

Here are the official docs on the different schema explorer/Graph QL URLs

{% embed url="<https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-cloud-apis/sl-graphql#dbt-semantic-layer-graphql-api>" %}

Example: `https://semantic-layer.cloud.getdbt.com/api/graphql`

## Allow Dot IPs

If your organization uses a firewall to manage dbt access, Dot will only access your dbtthrough the following IPs:

* `5.78.211.110`
* `178.105.217.177`
