Calling the API from Python

In order to make HTTP requests from Python, we are going to use the pip installable requests package:

import requests

Then, we need to define the request parameters:

query = """
{
   User(login: "me") {
        login
    }
}
"""

data = {
 "query": query,
}

Finally, we can post the request using a JSON-encoded payload:

r = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:4001/graphql",
    json=data,
    headers={
    }
)

print(r.json())

The result is as follows:

{'data': {}}
