A Python library for making GraphQL requests easier!

gqlrequests - A Python library for creating GraphQL queries easier!

Define GraphQL types in Python as dataclasses, then use them to automatically build queries!

Note that these examples show what the end goal is, and that very few of these features have been developed yet!

Examples of how it will work:

from dataclasses import dataclass
import gqlrequests

@dataclass
class Episode:
    name: str
    length: float

@dataclass
class Character:
    name: str
    appearsIn: list[Episode]

print(gqlrequests.Schema(Character))
# type Character {
#     name: String
#     appearsIn: [Episode]
# }
#

print(gqlrequests.Query(Character))
# {
#     name
#     appearsIn {
#         name
#         length
#     }
# } 

print(gqlrequests.Query(Character, fields=["name"]))
# {
#     name
# } 

print(gqlrequests.Query(Character, indents=2)) # Default indent is 4
# {
#   name
#   appearsIn {
#     name
#     length
#   }
# }

print(gqlrequests.QueryMethod("get_character", Character, args={"name": "Luke"}))
# get_character(name: "Luke") {
#     name
#     appearsIn {
#         name
#         length
#     }
# }

appearsIn = gqlrequests.QueryMethod(
    "appearsIn",
    Episode,
    args = {"minLength": 5}
)

print(gqlrequests.Query(
    Character,
    fields = [
        "name", 
        appearsIn
    ]
))
# {
#     name
#     appearsIn(minLength: 5) {
#         name
#         length
#     }
# } 

Future possible implementations:

import gqlrequests
import asyncio

@dataclass
class Episode:
    name: str
    length: float

@dataclass
class Character:
    name: str
    appearsIn: list[Episode]


gqlclient = gqlrequests.Client(
    api_endpoint="api.example.com/gql",
    authorization="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
)

character = gqlclient.query(gqlrequests.Query(Character))
assert isinstance(character, Character)

# Asynchronous queries

async def main():
    gqlclient = gqlrequests.AsyncClient(
        api_endpoint="api.example.com/gql",
        authorization="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    )

    queries = asyncio.gather(
        gqlclient.query(gqlrequests.Query(Character)),
        gqlclient.query(gqlrequests.Query(Episode))
    )

    character, episode = await queries

    assert isinstance(character, Character)
    assert isinstance(episode, Episode)

    # Or simply:
    character = await gqlclient.query(gqlrequests.Query(Character))

asyncio.run(main())

"""Subscribing to a graphql websocket"""
import gqlrequests
import asyncio

@dataclass
class LiveViewers:
    viewers: int
    measurementTimeUnix: int


async def main():
    gqlclient = gqlrequests.Client(
        api_endpoint="api.example.com/gql",
        authorization="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    )

    query = gqlrequests.Query(LiveViewers)
    async with gqlclient.subscribe(query) as subscription:
        async for data in subscription:
            assert isinstance(data, LiveViewers)

            print(data.viewers, data.measurementTimeUnix)
            if data.viewers < 10: break
