# GraphiQL in Shopify CLI for apps

As of Shopify CLI version 3.53+, you can use GraphiQL in the CLI while running `app dev` by simply pressing the `g` hotkey.

This GraphiQL instance uses your app's credentials, working with the same data and access scopes, ensuring that what works in GraphiQL will work exactly the same in your app. We expect this feature to streamline how you create and edit GraphQL queries.

Learn more about in [our documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/graphiql-admin-api).
