GhibliQL
GhibliQL is a GraphQL wrapper to the Studio Ghibli REST API
Usage
First, you'll need a GraphQL client to query GhibliQL, like GraphQL IDE Configure your client to use the endpoint https://ghibliql.herokuapp.com
Then, you'll be able to explore the API using "easy-to-understand" GraphQL query. For example, if I want the full list of films title, director, and characters name:
{
films {
title
director
people {
name
}
}
}
This will output (partial output here):
"data": {
"films": [
{
"title": "Castle in the Sky",
"director": "Hayao Miyazaki",
"people": [
{
"name": "Colonel Muska"
}
]
},
{
"title": "My Neighbor Totoro",
"director": "Hayao Miyazaki",
"people": [
{
"name": "Satsuki Kusakabe"
},
{
"name": "Mei Kusakabe"
},
{
"name": "Tatsuo Kusakabe"
},
{
"name": "Yasuko Kusakabe"
},
{
"name": "Totoro"
},
{
"name": "Catbus"
},
{
"name": "Granny"
},
{
"name": "Kanta Ogaki"
}
]
},
...
]
}
If you want to work on a specific object, you'll first need to get his ID:
{
films {
id
title
}
}
"data": {
"films": [
{
"id": "2baf70d1-42bb-4437-b551-e5fed5a87abe",
"title": "Castle in the Sky"
},
{
"id": "12cfb892-aac0-4c5b-94af-521852e46d6a",
"title": "Grave of the Fireflies"
},
{
"id": "58611129-2dbc-4a81-a72f-77ddfc1b1b49",
"title": "My Neighbor Totoro"
},
{
"id": "ea660b10-85c4-4ae3-8a5f-41cea3648e3e",
"title": "Kiki's Delivery Service"
},
...
]
}
Then query with the ID (for example, for "Castle in the Sky"):
{
film(id:"2baf70d1-42bb-4437-b551-e5fed5a87abe") {
title
director
}
}
{
"data": {
"film": {
"title": "Castle in the Sky",
"director": "Hayao Miyazaki"
}
}
}
You've tons of data available, feel free to explore :)
Limitation
Because it's a wrapper, the data returns are provided by the original API. Any errors / missing data need to be reported to GhibliAPI.
Credits
Of course, big thanks to James Anaipakos for the original work on the REST API !
