A query language for your API


GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

Ask for what you need,
get exactly that

Send a GraphQL query to your API and get exactly what you need, nothing more and nothing less. GraphQL queries always return predictable results. Apps using GraphQL are fast and stable because they control the data they get, not the server.
 
{
  hero {
    name
    height
    mass
  }
}

 
{
  "hero": {
    "name": "Luke Skywalker"
  }
}

 
{
  "hero": {
    "name": "Luke Skywalker",
    "height": 1.72
  }
}

 
{
  "hero": {
    "name": "Luke Skywalker",
    "height": 1.72,
    "mass": 77
  }
}


Get many resources
in a single request

GraphQL queries access not just the properties of one resource but also smoothly follow references between them. While typical REST APIs require loading from multiple URLs, GraphQL APIs get all the data your app needs in a single request. Apps using GraphQL can be quick even on slow mobile network connections.
 
{
  hero {
    name
    friends {
      name
    }
  }
}

 
{
  "hero": {
    "name": "Luke Skywalker",
    "friends": [
      { "name": "Obi-Wan Kenobi" },
      { "name": "R2-D2" },
      { "name": "Han Solo" },
      { "name": "Leia Organa" }
    ]
  }
}

Describe what’s possible
with a type system

GraphQL APIs are organized in terms of types and fields, not endpoints. Access the full capabilities of your data from a single endpoint. GraphQL uses types to ensure Apps only ask for what’s possible and provide clear and helpful errors. Apps can use types to avoid writing manual parsing code.
 
{
  hero {
    name
    friends {
      name
      homeWorld {
        name
        climate
      }
      species {
        name
        lifespan
        origin {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

 
type Query {
  hero: Character
}

type Character {
  name: String
  friends: [Character]
  homeWorld: Planet
  species: Species
}

type Planet {
  name: String
  climate: String
}

type Species {
  name: String
  lifespan: Int
  origin: Planet
}


Move faster with
powerful developer tools

Know exactly what data you can request from your API without leaving your editor, highlight potential issues before sending a query, and take advantage of improved code intelligence. GraphQL makes it easy to build powerful tools like GraphiQL by leveraging your API’s type system.
