What method do you use to get data. You can't put a body in GET methods so I assume with GraphQL you use POST to get data?

They use POST ( https://github.com/github/graphql-client/blob/9e1fa16cf88de4... ) which, as far as I know, is common for query APIs like this.

You can send a GraphQL query as part of the query in your HTTP GET request: http://graphql.org/learn/serving-over-http/#get-request.
