# Graphql Queries

## Overview
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data.

## When to Use This Skill
Use to interface with APIs that expose GraphQL endpoints (e.g., GitHub GraphQL API v4).

## Quick Start (with runnable code examples)

```python
import requests

url = 'https://api.github.com/graphql'
headers = {'Authorization': 'token ghp_...'}

query = """
query {
  viewer {
    login
    bio
  }
}
"""

r = requests.post(url, json={'query': query}, headers=headers)
print(r.json())
```

## Advanced Usage
Handle GraphQL input variables, define fragment structures, configure mutations, and parse paginated cursor queries.
