Python GraphQL Client

Simple package for making requests to a graphql server.

Installation

pip install python-graphql-client

Usage

• Query/Mutation

from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient

# Instantiate the client with an endpoint.
client = GraphqlClient(endpoint="https://countries.trevorblades.com")

# Create the query string and variables required for the request.
query = """
    query countryQuery($countryCode: String) {
        country(code:$countryCode) {
            code
            name
        }
    }
"""
variables = {"countryCode": "CA"}

# Synchronous request
data = client.execute(query=query, variables=variables)
print(data)  # => {'data': {'country': {'code': 'CA', 'name': 'Canada'}}}


# Asynchronous request
import asyncio

data = asyncio.run(client.execute_async(query=query, variables=variables))
print(data)  # => {'data': {'country': {'code': 'CA', 'name': 'Canada'}}}

• Subscription

from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient

# Instantiate the client with a websocket endpoint.
client = GraphqlClient(endpoint="wss://www.your-api.com/graphql")

# Create the query string and variables required for the request.
query = """
    subscription onMessageAdded {
        messageAdded
    }
"""

# Asynchronous request
import asyncio

asyncio.run(client.subscribe(query=query, handle=print))
# => {'data': {'messageAdded': 'Error omnis quis.'}}
# => {'data': {'messageAdded': 'Enim asperiores omnis.'}}
# => {'data': {'messageAdded': 'Unde ullam consequatur quam eius vel.'}}
# ...

Advanced Usage

Disable SSL verification

Set the keyword argument verify=False ether when instantiating the GraphqlClient class.

from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient

client = GraphqlClient(endpoint="wss://www.your-api.com/graphql", verify=False)

Alternatively, you can set it when calling the execute method.

from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient

client = GraphqlClient(endpoint="wss://www.your-api.com/graphql"
client.execute(query="<Your Query>", verify=False)

Custom Authentication

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient

auth = HTTPBasicAuth('fake@example.com', 'not_a_real_password')
client = GraphqlClient(endpoint="wss://www.your-api.com/graphql", auth=auth)

Roadmap

To start we'll try and use a Github project board for listing current work and updating priorities of upcoming features.
