AIOHTTPTransport

This transport uses the aiohttp library and allows you to send GraphQL queries using the HTTP protocol.

Reference: gql.transport.aiohttp.AIOHTTPTransport

Note

GraphQL subscriptions are not supported on the HTTP transport. For subscriptions you should use the websockets transport <websockets_transport>.

../code_examples/aiohttp_async.py

Authentication

There are multiple ways to authenticate depending on the server configuration.

  1. Using HTTP Headers
transport = AIOHTTPTransport(
    url='https://SERVER_URL:SERVER_PORT/graphql',
    headers={'Authorization': 'token'}
)
  1. Using HTTP Cookies

You can manually set the cookies which will be sent with each connection:

transport = AIOHTTPTransport(url=url, cookies={"cookie1": "val1"})

Or you can use a cookie jar to save cookies set from the backend and reuse them later.

In some cases, the server will set some connection cookies after a successful login mutation and you can save these cookies in a cookie jar to reuse them in a following connection (See issue 197):

jar = aiohttp.CookieJar()
transport = AIOHTTPTransport(url=url, client_session_args={'cookie_jar': jar})
