About:
Altair GraphQL Client is a versatile, feature-rich GraphQL client IDE designed for developers working with GraphQL APIs. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for querying, debugging, and managing GraphQL operations. Its main value proposition is streamlining the development workflow by offering a robust, cross-platform alternative to web-based clients.
Key Features:
  • Multi-tab interface for managing multiple queries and endpoints
  • Real-time GraphQL subscriptions support
  • Built-in schema introspection and documentation explorer
  • Support for multiple environments and pre-configured variables
  • Offline mode and local storage of queries
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing GraphQL queries and mutations against a live or staging API
  • Inspecting and exploring GraphQL API schemas and types
  • Debugging GraphQL subscription events in real-time
Alternatives:
  • Postman – Postman is a general-purpose API client that supports GraphQL, but Altair is a dedicated GraphQL IDE with deeper, specialized features.
  • GraphiQL – GraphiQL is a minimal, in-browser IDE, while Altair offers a more feature-rich desktop application experience with advanced tooling.
