query character($id: ID!) {
 character(id: $id) {
    id
       name
       status
       species
       type
       gender
       image
       created
 }
}

in Query section and:

{
	"id": "324"
}

in variables section.
5. Open Console
6. Send Request and Observe in Console
7. Create a new Blank Collection
8. In top right of Sidebar click 'New'
9. Choose GraphQL request type
10. Paste https://rickandmortyapi.com/graphql in url bar and wait for schema to load

Hey @ShaneDonaghy-catapult , thank you for reporting the issue.
While we do support logging for HTTP, we're currently exploring options for integrating other protocols like GraphQL into the console. Could you provide more details on the specific information you're looking for in the console ?

This is a major missing feature. There's no way to tell whether postman is writing the headers for auth correctly. If there's an auth error, there's no way to debug the request.

Hey @ronork , I use Postman as a more user-friendly tool to get requests working before I port them to my test automation framework. For that to work I need to see auth headers, etc.,
What I'd be after ideally is feature parity with HTTP requests vis-a-vis the console.

Lost a ton of productivity because of this

@ronork - The postman console shows the transaction to get a new token for OAuth in a graphql collection but not the graphql query which is still just an HTTP POST. I agree, feature parity with 'send' functionality against rest api's is what's needed.

I use postman to build queries against existing API's then use those details to build automation (console app, powershell, what ever) same as @ShaneDonaghy-catapult

The console is generally very useful to ensure a request was properly configured (header missing, incorrect value in env, ...). I miss this with GraphQL as I have no way to ensure the headers or generated query had all variables correctly replaced.

+1 currently trying to figure out whats going wrong with my request. Keep getting 401 errors, despite seemingly having configured it correctly.

Would be amazing to have an option to double check how and what headers is actually being sent.

Same camp here. Really unable to debug why its not working without the raw request being present in the console.

Given GraphQL requests are still just HTTP (POST) requests with a JSON request/response body, curious if there's any particular reason for them being excluded (or not included) alongside other HTTP requests in the Postman Console?

While debugging, I noticed GraphQL HTTP POST does not show up in the Postman console using version 11.47.3.

I would like to copy and paste the Postman request into a different tool, which I frequently do with other HTTP requests in Postman.
