Create GraphQL query in python – Shopify

I would like to modify this string:

query = """
    mutation { 
     productUpdate(input: {id: "gid://shopify/Product/463...03", title: "test", descriptionHtml: "Amazing product"}) {
       product {
         id
       }
       userErrors {
         field
         message
        }
      }
     }
  """

I’m trying to put a variable in the place of “test” and “Amazing product”. Normally i would do this with f-strings, but because of the GraphQL brackets i cannot do this.

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?

Many thanks!

    While fstrings are great, in case of graphql queries you can just use below format.

    query = """
    mutation { 
     productUpdate(input: {id: "gid://shopify/Product/463...03", title: "%s", descriptionHtml: "%s"}) {
       product {
         id
       }
       userErrors {
         field
         message
        }
      }
     }
  """ % ('test', 'Amazing Product')

print(query)

    you can double up the curly braces to escape them:

    my_title = "The Title"
my_description = "The description"

query = f"""
    mutation {{ 
     productUpdate(input: {{id: "gid://shopify/Product/463...03", title: "{my_title}", descriptionHtml: "{my_description}"}}) {{
       product {{
         id
       }}
       userErrors {{
         field
         message
        }}
      }}
     }}
  """

    You can use the graphql-python/gql package. It supports variables.
