Testing GraphQL APIs
GraphQL is a query language used to access and manipulate data in APIs
Testing such APIs would involve ensuring that they function properly and that they can effectively retrieve and manipulate data using GraphQL queries
This typically involves sending requests to the API and examining the responses to ensure that they are correct and meet the expectations of the developer
Example: GraphQL Query
yaml
version: "1.1"
name: GraphQL
tests:
example:
steps:
- name: Request
http:
url: https://echo.hoppscotch.io/graphql
graphql:
query: |
query Request {
method
}
variables:
id: 1
check:
status: 200
jsonpath:
$.data.method: POST
