Bruno can send requests using GraphQL, an open-source query language and runtime for APIs. Each GraphQL request has a URL (the data endpoint) and a query (defining the data to retrieve or modify).

GraphQL request interface

GraphQL APIs let clients request only the data they need through a single endpoint. It’s schema-driven, allowing clients to introspect and avoid overfetching or underfetching data. Query builder is also supported to help you build your queries easily. gql-interface The API schema defines available fields, and the request may include authentication, headers, and settings as needed. GraphQL requests support three operations:
  • Query: Retrieves data, specifying fields and optional arguments for precise results.
  • Mutation: Modifies data (create, update, delete), with specified fields returned after the operation.
  • Subscription: Provides real-time updates by listening for changes to specific data fields over a persistent connection.
