## Content type `application/graphql` is deprecated

The `Content-Type: application/graphql` request format is deprecated and will no longer be accepted as of 2025-01 schema versions. As of `2025-01` schemas, all requests must specify `Content-Type: application/json` and post a [spec encoded body](https://graphql.github.io/graphql-over-http/draft/#sec-JSON-Encoding). See [GraphQL Over HTTP](https://shopify.dev/changelog/graphql-over-http) update for more details.
