TIL Observe query complexity with GitLab's GraphQL API

We can use the queryComplexity query to get some information about the complexity of the query that is being executed. You would add this to your query to include the informaiton about the complexity:

queryComplexity {
    limit
    score
  }

The queryComplexity query does not require authentication and is not free.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://gitlab.example.com/api/graphql \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer glpat-' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query": "query { queryComplexity {   limit    } }"}'
