GraphQL introspection

WikiParfum exposes a rich GraphQL schema that evolves over time. Rather than relying solely on static documentation, developers are encouraged to explore the API dynamically using GraphQL introspection.

​
How to explore

Most GraphQL clients support schema introspection out of the box. By connecting to the WikiParfum endpoint with your API key, you can:
  • Browse all available queries and types
  • Inspect available fields and relationships
  • Understand required and optional arguments
  • Explore response structures in real time
This approach ensures you always work with the most up-to-date API capabilities.

​
Connecting to the endpoint

Configure your GraphQL client with:
  • Endpoint: https://api.wikiparfum.com/graphql
  • Method: POST
  • Header: Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>
Once connected, the client will automatically fetch the schema and provide autocompletion, field documentation, and type information as you write queries.

​
Example introspection query

To programmatically fetch the schema: 
query IntrospectionQuery {
  __schema {
    queryType {
      name
    }
    types {
      name
      kind
      description
      fields {
        name
        description
        type {
          name
          kind
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
