How does GraphQL request supose to work?

I'm making GQL request but getting error, how does this supose to work in RestClient?

It doesn't look like you've included the additional header in your request. Does it work when this is added?

X-REQUEST-TYPE: GraphQL

Making GraphQL Request (README.md)

Same here, I'm trying to figure out how to make a simple graphql request, but I can't make it work no matter which service I try to access: github, monday, geographql, etc... all of them complains about "bad/invalid request". Meanwhile the same request works perfectly with curl, Insomnia or Thunder Client inside the vscodium.

My request looks like this:

POST https://api.monday.com/v2
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: {{ $dotenv MONDAY_TOKEN }}
X-REQUEST-TYPE: GraphQL

{
  me {
    is_guest
    created_at
    name
    id
  }
}

And the response:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Invalid GraphQL request",
      "extensions": {
        "details": "failed to deserialize the request body into JSON: key must be a string at line 2 column 3",
        "code": "INVALID_GRAPHQL_REQUEST"
      }
    }
  ],
  "account_id": 12345678
}

VScodium 1.96.4
Rest Client 0.26.0

The answer is as easy as writing

X-REQUEST-TYPE: graphql

instead of

X-REQUEST-TYPE: GraphQL

(lowercase the 'graphql' string in the x-request-type header)
