I. Introduction

This article explains how to properly initiate GraphQL (GQL) requests and addresses common issues encountered when using GQL tools.

II. Parameter Guide

1. Request URL and Method
   Find the request URL and HTTP method in the browser's request headers. Ensure the GQL tool uses the exact same URL and method as the browser request to communicate with the server correctly.

   

   Request Headers

2. Query and Variables
   Each GQL request consists of two main parts:

   • Query: Defines the structure of the data to retrieve.
   • Variables: Dynamic parameters for the query (optional).

   To replicate a request:

   • Right-click on Query and Variables in the browser developer tools.
   • Select "Copy Value" and paste them into your GQL tool.

Important Note:

• Admin Accounts: When logged in as an admin, you can omit the Variables parameter because admin users bypass permission checks.
• Regular Users: Always include the Variables parameter. Omitting it will result in permission errors.
