What it is and what it does
graphqlclient is a minimal GraphQL client that wraps HTTP requests to GraphQL endpoints. It provides a single GraphQLClient class that accepts a GraphQL endpoint URL, executes queries as strings, and returns the server's response. The package supports injecting authorization tokens into request headers, either using the default 'Authorization' header or a custom header name like 'x-api-key'.
The package is intentionally simple: it has no runtime dependencies and does not provide query builders, type safety, or advanced features. It is designed for straightforward use cases where you need to send raw GraphQL query strings to an endpoint and handle the JSON response directly in your code.
Use it for
- Send simple GraphQL queries to a public or internal GraphQL API endpoint for data retrieval
- Integrate GraphQL API calls into a Python script with minimal setup
- Add bearer token or API key authentication to GraphQL requests via custom headers
- Prototype or test a GraphQL endpoint without installing a full-featured client library
