Obtain GraphQL API schema even if the introspection is disabled.

Some GraphQL APIs have disabled introspection. For example, Apollo Server disables introspection automatically if the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production.

Clairvoyance helps to obtain GraphQL API schema even if the introspection is disabled. It produces schema in JSON format suitable for other tools like GraphQL Voyager, InQL or graphql-path-enum.

pip install clairvoyance
clairvoyance https://rickandmortyapi.com/graphql -o schema.json
# should take about 2 minutes

docker run --rm nikitastupin/clairvoyance --help

There are at least three approaches:

• Use one of the wordlists collected by Escape Technologies
• Use general English words (e.g. google-10000-english).
• Create target specific wordlist by extracting all valid GraphQL names from application HTTP traffic, from mobile application static files, etc. Regex for GraphQL name is [_A-Za-z][_0-9A-Za-z]*.

LOG_FMT=`%(asctime)s \t%(levelname)s\t| %(message)s` # A string format for logging.
LOG_DATEFMT=`%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S` # A string format for logging date.
LOG_LEVEL=`INFO` # A string level for logging.

In case of questions or issues with Clairvoyance please refer to wiki or issues. If this doesn't solve your problem feel free to open a new issue.

Pull requests are welcome! For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. For more information about tests, internal project structure and so on refer to our contributing guide.

You may find more details on how the tool works in the second half of the GraphQL APIs from bug hunter's perspective by Nikita Stupin talk.

Thanks to the contributors for their work.
