Use GraphQL API

Discover, construct, execute, and chain GraphQL operations from the command line.

When to Use

• Querying or mutating data via a GraphQL endpoint (GitHub, Hasura, Apollo, etc.)
• Automating GitHub operations that require GraphQL (Discussions, Projects v2)
• Building shell scripts that fetch structured data from GraphQL APIs
• Chaining multiple GraphQL calls where output of one feeds into the next

Inputs

• Required: GraphQL endpoint URL or service name (e.g., github)
• Required: Operation intent (what data to read or write)
• Optional: Authentication token or method (default: gh CLI auth for GitHub)
• Optional: Output format preference (raw JSON, jq-filtered, variable assignment)
