How to Use GraphQL Playground
Paste your GraphQL endpoint, write a query or mutation, add optional JSON variables and headers, then click **Run operation**. The tool sends a standard GraphQL POST request and pretty-prints the JSON response. Use **Introspect schema** to quickly verify a live endpoint and inspect the exposed schema metadata. This is ideal for testing GraphQL APIs, debugging variables, and exploring request payloads before you wire them into production code.
Set the endpoint
Paste the GraphQL HTTP endpoint you want to test, including any staging or local API URL.
Write the operation
Add your query or mutation, then provide variables and headers as valid JSON if needed.
Run or introspect
Execute the request to inspect the JSON response, or run the built-in introspection query to confirm schema access.
