Lab Walkthrough Video:


Introspection Queries reveal the complete information about the GraphQL schema structure such as objects and their fields. Introspection Queries is enabled by default on a GraphQL server. Since they reveal complete schema information, it is better to disable the introspection system when not required, to avoid an information leak.

The developers have created a GraphQL based API. They have provided access to the raw API without any GraphQL client console. But they have not disabled the introspection queries.

Objective: Determine the schema of the "flags" field and retrieve the flag value.
