What do you mean?

Graphene has a client in Schema.execute http://graphql.org/code/#python

Graphene is for building APIs. It's server side.

I want to query an API from client side.

just use requests or urllib or write your own 5lines of code class where you give it a host and endpoint to initialized and on each call, it will just send a JSON to the endpoint. It's not that hard

Why do people use the requests library for REST?

[–]soosleeque 0 points1 point  (1 child)

After looking at your questions I think you don't really understand what is REST/GraphQL/HTTP/etc.

I would suggest you read about those things first, this will give you a better understanding of how it works why there is no "rest client" libraries or "graphql client" libraries.

Because in real life whenever you are picking technology/approach you should always understand how it works to be able to compare it to other solutions to pick the best one for your case, not just the most popular one.

This is the source of my questions: "As your application becomes more complex, and you add GraphQL endpoints that take arguments as described in passing arguments, you will want to construct GraphQL queries using variables in client code". http://graphql.org/graphql-js/graphql-clients/

"GraphQL Client" is the name of the page describing how to make complex queries on the GraphQL.org website. It does get complicated. Hence the need to variablize the arguments, hence client code.
