Visualizing GraphQL data

With the infinity datasource, you can also scrap data from any GraphQL endpoints. This works exactly same way as JSON api. Instead of using GET method used by JSON api, this uses POST method with a body.

For example, consider the below GraphQL Endpoint. This returns list of countries and their calling codes.

With our plugin, we are going to list the above data as table with country name and calling code(1st calling code).

As shown in the above image, you need to specify the URL and fields you need. Next to the URL, you can see advanced options (expand icon) where you can enter your query as shown below

graphql Copy

{
  countries {
    name
    continent {
      name
    }
  }
}

Make sure to choose POST method when using the graphql api.
