Make a GraphQL API call

Once OAuth is complete, we can use the library's GraphQL client to make requests to the GraphQL Admin API. To do that, create an instance of Graphql using the current shop URL and, for non-private apps, the session accessToken in your app's endpoint.

The GraphQL client's main method is query, which takes the following arguments and returns an HttpResponse object:

Parameter	Type	Required?	Default Value	Notes
data	string | array	Yes	-	Query to be posted to endpoint
query	array	No	-	URL query parameters
extraHeaders	array	No	-	Any extra headers to send along with the request
tries	int | null	No	1	How many times to attempt the request

Example use of query

// Load current session to get `accessToken`
$session = Shopify\Utils::loadCurrentSession($headers, $cookies, $isOnline);
// Create GraphQL client
$client = new Shopify\Clients\Graphql($session->getShop(), $session->getAccessToken());
// Use `query` method and pass your query as `data`
$queryString = <<<QUERY
    {
        products (first: 10) {
            edges {
                node {
                    id
                    title
                    descriptionHtml
                }
            }
        }
    }
QUERY;
$products = $client->query($queryString);

// do something with the returned data

Example with variables

// load current session and create GraphQL client like above example

// Use `query` method, passing the query and variables in an array as `data`
$queryUsingVariables = <<<QUERY
    mutation productCreate(\$input: ProductInput!) {
        productCreate(input: \$input) {
            product {
                id
            }
        }
    }
QUERY;
$variables = [
    "input" => [
        ["title" => "TARDIS"],
        ["descriptionHtml" => "Time and Relative Dimensions in Space"],
        ["productType" => "Time Lord technology"]
    ]    
];
$response = $client->query(['query' => $queryUsingVariables, 'variables' => $variables]);

// do something with the returned data
