Gato GraphQL is a powerful and flexible GraphQL server for WordPress.

Use it to expose WordPress data via GraphQL. Access any piece of data (posts, users, comments, tags, categories, etc) from your application, and also transform and mutate data.

The standard use cases are:

Code performant apps: Send a GraphQL query to your API and get exactly what you need, nothing more and nothing less.

Build dynamic/headless sites: Use WordPress as the CMS to manage data, and your framework of choice to render the site.

Speed up creating Gutenberg blocks: Ship Gutenberg blocks faster, by avoiding creating REST controllers to feed them data.

With Gato GraphQL, you also have the flexibility to migrate your application from WordPress to another PHP-based framework or CMS (if ever needed) with minimal effort: The GraphQL server can run via its standalone PHP component (which doesn’t depend on WordPress), and only those resolvers fetching WordPress data (posts, users, comments, etc) used by your application would need to be ported. You can do Headless WordPress without WordPress, avoiding the vendor lock-in to WordPress.

Power Extensions

The Power Extensions allow you to augment the server functionality.

You can purchase a bundle containing all the power extensions.

The available power extensions are:

Access Control: Grant granular access to the schema (based on the user being logged-in, having some role or capability, or by IP), to manage who can access what data.

Caching: Make your application faster by providing HTTP Caching for the GraphQL response, and by caching the results of expensive operations.

Custom Endpoints: Create and expose multiple custom GraphQL schemas under their own URL, for different users, applications, external services, or other.

Deprecation: Evolve the GraphQL schema by deprecating fields, and explaining how to replace them, through a user interface.

HTTP Client: Connect to and interact with external services via their APIs.

Internal GraphQL Server: Execute GraphQL queries directly within your application, using PHP code.

Multiple Query Execution: Combine multiple queries into a single query, sharing state across them and executing them in the requested order.

Persisted Queries: Use GraphQL queries to create pre-defined endpoints as in REST, obtaining the benefits from both APIs.

Query Functions: Manipulate the values of fields within the GraphQL query, via a collection of utilities and special directives providing meta-programming capabilities.

Schema Functions: The GraphQL schema is provided with fields and directives which expose functionalities from the PHP programming language.

Premium Extensions

Premium Extensions allow you to integrate popular services and WordPress plugins into the GraphQL schema, and automate the execution of queries.

You can purchase each premium extension separately.

The available premium extensions are:

Automation: Use GraphQL to automate tasks in your app: Execute queries when some event happens, chain queries, and schedule and trigger queries via WP-Cron.

Bricks: Integration with the Bricks plugin, to parse and update data in Bricks pages and templates.

Elementor: Integration with the Elementor plugin, to parse and update data in Elementor pages and templates.

Events Manager: Integration with the Events Manager plugin, to fetch event data.

MultilingualPress: Integration with the MultilingualPress plugin, to fetch multilingual data.
