HTTP Request via Schema
Addition of fields to the GraphQL schema to retrieve the current HTTP request data.
List of fields
The following fields are added to the schema:
_httpRequestBody
Body of the HTTP request.
_httpRequestClientHost
Client host.
_httpRequestClientIP
Retrieves the client IP address. If the server is not properly configured (see below), the response is null
.
Configuration
The client's IP address is retrieved from under the $_SERVER
global variable, normally from under property 'REMOTE_ADDR'
. However, different platforms may require to use a different property name to retrieve this information.
For instance:
- Cloudflare might use
'HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'
- AWS might use
'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'
The property name to use can be configured in the "Plugin Configuration > Server IP Configuration" tab on the Settings page:

_httpRequestCookie
Request cookie value.
_httpRequestCookies
Request cookies.
_httpRequestDomain
Domain of the requested URL.
_httpRequestFullURL
Requested URL (including the query params).
_httpRequestHasCookie
Does the request contain a certain cookie?.
_httpRequestHasHeader
Does the request contain a certain header?.
_httpRequestHasParam
Does the request contain a certain parameter?.
_httpRequestHeader
Request header value.
_httpRequestHeaders
Request headers.
_httpRequestHost
Host of the requested URL.
_httpRequestMethod
Request method.
_httpRequestParams
JSON object with all the params (passed via POST or GET).
Param values can be:
- Strings:
?param=value
- Arrays:
?someArray[]=1&someArray[]=2
- Array of arrays:
?someMatrix[0][0]=3&someMatrix[0][1]=4&someMatrix[1][0]=5&someMatrix[1][1]=6
- Associative arrays (i.e. objects):
?someAssocArray["admins"]=20&someAssocArray["authors"]=30
- Associative array of arrays:
?someAssocMatrix["admins"][0]=7&someAssocMatrix["admins"][1]=8&someAssocMatrix["authors"][0]=9&someAssocMatrix["authors"][1]=10
- Other combinations
To get the value of the param, we can use fields _httpRequestStringParam
and _httpRequestStringListParam
for the first two cases respectively, but there are no fields for the other cases.
For those, use this field _httpRequestParams
to obtain the JSON object, and then retrieve the corresponding value from within.
_httpRequestProtocol
Request protocol.
_httpRequestQuery
Query params string.
_httpRequestReferer
Request referer.
_httpRequestRequestTime
Timestamp of the start of the request.
_httpRequestScheme
Scheme of the requested URL.
_httpRequestServerIP
Server IP address.
_httpRequestStringListParam
Value of a param (passed via POST or GET) of type ?param[]=value1¶m[]=value2
.
_httpRequestStringParam
Value of a param (passed via POST or GET) of type ?param=value
.
_httpRequestURL
Requested URL (without query params).
_httpRequestURLPath
Absolute path (starting with "/") of the requested URL.
_httpRequestUserAgent
User agent.
