TechLeads scans public websites and detects GraphQL from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is GraphQL's website count divided by the website counts of all Programming languages technologies we track; a site using two Programming languages tools counts for both. Counts were last refreshed on October 8, 2026 and update daily.
