For example,

computer:~ user$ curl -H "Authorization: bearer token" -X POST -d " \
> { \
> "query": "query { viewer { login }}" \
> } \
> " https://api.github.com/graphql
{"data":{"viewer":{"login":"UserName"}}}

However, when I attempt the same query using HTTP

{ "data": null, "errors": [{ "message": "A query attribute must be specified and must be a string." }] }

It seems there were a couple issues on my end. For example, one difference was that cURL automatically adds the User-Agent which one has to add manually using HTTP. I couldn’t figure out the issue with R’s http, but after making sure the query were properly escaped with HTTP.jl I got it to work.

If you’re talking about httpie, use piping:

echo '{"query": "{viewer{login}}"}' | http POST https://api.github.com/graphql Authorization:"bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
