[SOLVED] Enable GraphQL introspection

GraphQL introspection is disabled on default due to security reasons. Unfortunately i didn't find any documentation on how to enable it.

Apparently there is the environment variable "_APP_GRAPHQL_INTROSPECTION=1" which I added to the .env file. But when i check if the variable is valid after restarting the dockers with the "docker compose exec appwrite vars" command, its not appearing so I guess it doesnt work like that which is not a big surprise since it isnt mentioned in the docs.

Postman is therefore also still complaining that introspection is not allowed when I try to retrieve a schema.

Im sorry I am quite new to this topic:) and there isnt much helpful information on the web about that specific problem

did you run docker compose up -d

Apparently there is the environment variable "_APP_GRAPHQL_INTROSPECTION=1"
Where did you see that? 🧐

yes I did

Yeah sorry that was bing chat being funny.. I also couldnt find it in its linked sources.

The fact that I dont find anything helpful about enabling GraphQL introspection on Appwrite lets me believe that at this point in time there introspection is just not available in general right?

Check compose file use for dev

And try altair ?

It would be _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE.

See https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/bbc9bb823df1a4afb5d83baf96a1a25e57d279a5/app/controllers/api/graphql.php#L186

Strange but yes I test and confirm it

Yes, it works Thanks very much guys

[SOLVED] Enable GraphQL introspection

Solution Summary: In order to allow GraphQL introspection -> the environment variable _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE has to be manually disabled
