SWAPI GraphQL API
Overview
SWAPI GraphQL is the official GraphQL version of the Star Wars API, hosted by the GraphQL Foundation. It lets you query exactly the Star Wars data you need using GraphQL syntax — no over-fetching, no under-fetching. It's the go-to playground for learning GraphQL with a familiar, fun dataset.
Beginner Tip
Open the URL in your browser to access a live GraphiQL IDE where you can write and run queries interactively before writing any code. Start with the query { allFilms { films { title } } } to see all Star Wars films.
