  • Query __schema to list all types defined in the schema and get details about each:

    Code Block
    query {
  __schema {
    types {
      name
      kind
      description
      fields {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

  • Query __type to get details about any type:

    Code Block
    query {
  __type(name: "User") {
    name
    kind
    description
    fields {
      name
    }
  }
}

  • You can also run an introspection query of the schema via a GET request:

    Code Block
    $ curl -H "Authorization: Token token" https://cms.scopear.com/api/v3/graphql

    The results are in JSON, so we recommend pretty-printing them for easier reading and searching. You can use a command-line tool like jq or pipe the results into python -m json.tool for this purpose.

    Note: The introspection query is probably the only GET request you'll run in GraphQL. If you're passing a body, the GraphQL request method is POST, whether it's a query or a mutation.

In addition to manually executing introspection queries manually, most GraphQL client tools include features that can help you navigate the schema in real time as you design queries and mutations. The image below shows one such tool, GraphiQL, with auto-completion (left panel) and embedded documentation (right panel). See “Exploring The Graph”.
