GraphQL is a query language for APIs that queries the server and provides the client only the data that is requested by the client. GraphQL enables you to fetch data from multiple APIs in a single query thus helping you build better-performing applications.
Hoppscotch has a built-in GraphQL platform that can be used to execute GraphQL queries. The GraphQL platform can be accessed by clicking on the GraphQL
tab in the left sidebar.
The GraphQL platform has the following features:
Hoppscotch’s GraphQL API platform provides you with the best experience to test and play around with GraphQL.
It’s primarily divided into two sections along with other features to help you build and test queries.
The request section houses the feature to enter your server endpoint and initiate a connection.
Once the connection is made, the query
builder assists you in designing queries to fetch the data that you require and run it.
You can also add dynamic behavior to your queries by defining variables
, headers
, and authorization
.
This is where you see the responses to your API endpoints. You can download and copy the returned responses for further use.

GraphQL server uses a GraphQL Schema to describe the structure of your data. Given below is an example of a GraphQL Schema.
The above schema defines two types Laptop
and Maker
. The Laptop
type has two fields model
and maker
. The Maker
type has two fields name
and laptops
. The laptops
field in the Maker
type is an array of the Laptop
type.
GraphQL queries are written in the GraphQL query language. Given below is an example of a GraphQL query.
The above query fetches the name
and laptops
of the Maker
with the name Apple
.
GraphQL queries can be executed using a GraphQL client. Hoppscotch has a built-in GraphQL client that can be used to execute GraphQL queries.
