GraphQL Placeholder is great for frontend developers building GraphQL powered apps or for quick testing a GraphQL API. If you’re learning Apollo Client, GraphQL Placeholder gives you the following Types you can query;

Types

Mutations

There are also various mutations available that provide fake responses used in everyday development;

How?

You can send requests to https://api.graphqlplaceholder.com/ via a library like graphql-request.

Going forward

The application is completely available on GitHub. You can submit a PR for any additional queries/mutations that are useful.

I hope this project helps other’s getting started with Apollo + GraphQL and removes the worry of building an actual GraphQL server.
