# GitLab GraphQL API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/gitlab/gitlab-graphql-api/  
**Provider:** GitLab — https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/  
**Base URL:** https://gitlab.com/api/graphql  
**Documentation:** https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/graphql/

GitLab GraphQL API is one of 44 APIs that [GitLab](https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Data, GraphQL, and Query Language. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, rate-limit docs, authentication docs, an API reference, and a getting-started guide.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs. You can use it to request the exact data you need, and therefore limit the number of requests you need. GraphQL data is arranged in types, so your client can use client-side GraphQL libraries to consume the API and avoid manual parsing. There are no fixed endpoints and no data model, so you can add to the API without creating breaking changes. This enables us to have a versionless API.
