A GraphQL schema and server that wraps the Star Wars API (SWAPI), exposing its data through a GraphQL endpoint. It is the official example GraphQL server from the GraphQL Foundation, hosted at graphql.org and deployable locally, on Heroku, or AWS Lambda.
Use cases
- learn GraphQL with a real public API
- test GraphQL clients against a sample server
- explore a GraphQL schema in GraphiQL
- prototype apps needing Star Wars data
- demo GraphQL tooling and queries
- study how to wrap a REST API with GraphQL
When to choose
- you need a well-known public GraphQL API for learning or testing
- you want a reference implementation of a GraphQL server in JavaScript
- you need Star Wars data exposed via GraphQL
When to avoid
- you need production-grade or guaranteed-uptime API access
- you need data beyond the Star Wars universe
- you want a maintained REST client for SWAPI instead
