How to generate graphql query from endpoint

Question

I would like to build a script that generates an example query with all fields from a GraphQL endpoint.

I found some mechanisms to get the schema as a JSON structure and to adapt the schema files to a query. but nothing takes an endpoint and provides a suitable query for that endpoint.

Does someone have any experience in that?

Have same problems. The best approach that I know for now is to:

1. generate schema.graphql from endpoint using get-graphql-schema : https://github.com/prisma/get-graphql-schema
2. generate queries and mutations from schema.graphql using gql-generator : https://github.com/modelo/gql-generator

There was a tool that claimed to "generate queries from endpoint", but I wasn't able to make it working in my case, and now I can't even find it, but it was called "gql-test" and I still have it installed in npm.
