GitHub GraphQL API

The GitHub GraphQL API provides a flexible query language for accessing GitHub data, allowing clients to request exactly the fields they need in a single request. It supports queries, mutations, and subscriptions across all GitHub resources including repositories, issues, pull requests, users, organizations, and projects, and is the recommended API for new integrations that need precise data fetching.
