# 8.SIMILAR
## What we want to build
We want to show a slider with up to 8 similar products on our product page.
## GraphQL query and response - id only
To ensure that you show the most recent data in you shop you should only query the product ids and fetch the rest of the data you need for your UI from your own database.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="GraphQL query" %}
```graphql
query {
product(id: "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1") {
similarProducts(first: 8) {
edges {
node {
id
}
}
}
}
}
```
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="cURL request" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.8select.io/graphql \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-id: db54750f-80fc-4818-9455-30ca233225dc' \
--data '{"query":"query {\n product(id: \"8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1\") {\n similarProducts(first: 8) {\n edges {\n node {\n id\n }\n }\n }\n\t}\n}\n"}'
```
{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="response" %}
```json
{
"data": {
"product": {
"similarProducts": {
"edges": [
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-10"
}
},
{

},
{
"node": {
"id": "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-5"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
## GraphQL query and response - full data
In case you can not make the extra roundtrip you can actually query all the data that is required to render a basic UI.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="GraphQL query" %}
````graphql
```groovy
query {
product(id: "8S-DEMO-Polohemd-1") {
similarProducts(first: 5) {
edges {
node {

}
}
modelId

}
}

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
