About Apollo Sandbox
Apollo Sandbox is the explorer from Apollo's GraphOS Studio, available in the browser. You point it at a GraphQL endpoint and build and run queries against it, which makes it useful for checking a schema or debugging a server during development.
It runs as part of Apollo's hosted Studio web application rather than as a download, so it suits developers who want a quick GraphQL client without installing anything.
Strengths
- Nothing to install, runs in the browser
- Works against any GraphQL endpoint
Limitations
- GraphQL only
- Proprietary and tied to Apollo's hosted service
