GraphQLer: The Smart, Schema-Aware GraphQL API Security Tester

GraphQLer

GraphQLer is a cutting-edge tool designed to dynamically test GraphQL APIs with a focus on awareness. It offers a range of sophisticated features that streamline the testing process and ensure robust analysis of GraphQL APIs such as being able to automatically read a schema and run tests against an API using the schema. Furthermore, GraphQLer is aware of dependencies between objects queries and mutations which is then used to perform security tests against APIs.

Key features

  • Dependency awareness: Run queries and mutations based on their dependencies!
  • Dynamic testing: Keep track of resources created during testing
  • Error correction: Try and fix requests so that the GraphQL API accepts them
  • Statistics collection: Shows your results in a nice file
  • Ease of use: All you need is the endpoint and the authentication token if needed

Advanced features

There are also varaibles that can be modified with the --config flag as a TOML file (see /examples/config.toml for an example). These correspond to specific features implemented in GraphQLer, and can be tuned to your liking.
