Provide SWAPI as public GraphQL server about swapi-graphql HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for bringing this up again, @IvanGoncharov. I think the main issue here is that we don't necessarily want to be in the business of providing any kind of hosted GraphQL access, and it is a gap that we'd rather see filled by the community, given that there already quite a few participants out there with varying degrees of investment in the whole subject of onboarding, educating and introducing new users to GraphQL.

Free experimentation is already quite direct (just npm start run in this repo). We'd be happy to supplement the README here, and likely also the docs over at graphql.org, with links to hosted solutions provided by third parties. You'd be welcome to submit a PR if you wanted us to link to https://swapi.apis.guru/ for example. For now though I am going to close this one as I don't think that hosting a public server is something that we are going to prioritize and do ourselves at this time.

Reopened as per discussion with @IvanGoncharov , we will move forward on getting an OSS heroku account for providing this public API example

closing since we moved to netlify functions!

Not sure if this is related but I tried using https://graphql.org/swapi-graphql in a codesandbox, but it didn't seemed to work (not public API?), so I tried @IvanGoncharov https://swapi.apis.guru and it works.

Anyways, does "netlify functions" fix this? How do I hook it up to my codesandbox? I am trying to make a personal demo.

Thanks

@bot19 that netlify example will reveal the working URL if you know where to look!

this is the API url: https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/index (this is the default URL that netlify functions are served from)

we should update the _redirects file in the graphql.org repo to proxy this API url from a friendlier address
