Postman 7.2–GraphQL support

Although it was possible to use GraphQL with Postman, it wasn’t really supported out-of-the-box… until today. With the release of Postman 7.2 GraphQL is now officially supported. Sending GraphQL queries in the request body, using GraphQL variables, and GraphQL query autocompletion, … it all becomes available inside Postman.

Getting started

  • Create a new request in Postman
  • Enter a GraphQL endpoint for the url e.g. https://spotify-graphql-server.herokuapp.com/graphql
  • Select POST as your HTTP method
  • Go to the Body tab and select GraphQL
  • Select the GraphQL radio button
  • Now you can enter your GraphQL query and hit SEND:
{
queryArtists(byName:"Red Hot Chili Peppers") {
name
id
image
}
}
view raw graphqlsample.graphql hosted with ❤ by GitHub

Notice that the UI mentions 'no schema' and that you don’t get autocompletion out-of-the-box. To enable this you have to add the GraphQL API schema to Postman:

  • Go to the APIs tab in Postman
  • Click on the + New API button on the left
  • Name your API
  • Select GraphQL as your spec from the dropdown menu on the Define tab
  • Add your schema and save

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
