+Using the GraphQL API
+#####################
+
+python-gitlab provides basic support for executing GraphQL queries and mutations.
+
+.. danger::
+
+   The GraphQL client is experimental and only provides basic support.
+   It does not currently support pagination, obey rate limits,
+   or attempt complex retries. You can use it to build simple queries
+
+   It is currently unstable and its implementation may change. You can expect a more
+   mature client in one of the upcoming major versions.
+
+The ``gitlab.GraphQLGitlab`` class
+==================================
+
+As with the REST client, you connect to a GitLab instance by creating a ``gitlab.GraphQLGitlab`` object:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   import gitlab
+
+   # anonymous read-only access for public resources (GitLab.com)
+   gl = gitlab.GraphQLGitlab()
+
+   # anonymous read-only access for public resources (self-hosted GitLab instance)
+   gl = gitlab.GraphQLGitlab('https://gitlab.example.com')
+
+   # private token or personal token authentication (GitLab.com)
+   gl = gitlab.GraphQLGitlab(private_token='JVNSESs8EwWRx5yDxM5q')
+
+   # private token or personal token authentication (self-hosted GitLab instance)
+   gl = gitlab.GraphQLGitlab(url='https://gitlab.example.com', private_token='JVNSESs8EwWRx5yDxM5q')
+
+   # oauth token authentication
+   gl = gitlab.GraphQLGitlab('https://gitlab.example.com', oauth_token='my_long_token_here')
+
+Sending queries
+===============
+
+Get the result of a simple query:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    query = """{
+        query {
+          currentUser {
+            name
+          }
+        }
+    """
+
+    result = gl.execute(query)
