There’s a better way to do it using the REST client Insomnia

Docs are here, how to send graphql queries: https://support.insomnia.rest/article/61-graphql

Below are the steps for postman

Step 1.

Run the GraphiQL in Chrome, open the Chrome Dev Console, click the Network tab, and make the query from graphiql, when you make the query, network tab will show the graphql request…

Step 4.

Postman is ready to send the Graphql request, Just Click on the Send Button, you will see the Response in the Response Box in body as below

Step 5.

To see how the query is being sent click on the Body tab next to Headers, you will get know how to provide the fields from postman in JSON format.

e.g: edges {\n node {\n id\n jobId\n }\n, If you want to view another field then you need to add it in with the suffix \n

like if need name then : edges {\n node {\n id\n jobId\n name\n }\n

\n here just means to represent a new line. Instead, you can make it simpler by providing a clear and illustrative JSON like below

===========================================================================

Note: The body type must be raw with application/json content-type. So, the query must be a valid JSON with quotes ".."

{  
   "query":"{viewer {user {edges {node {id jobId name }}}}}"
}

===========================================================================

you can directly start from step 5 if you know how to send the query in body and other things too that needs to be required while making a request from postman
