Hey guys,  
The introspection query is there and is used for the graphiQL interface when you hit `/graphql` in your browser.  
But for now it’s not conventional since Prismic relies on GET request but also requires to specify the `ref` with the header `Prismic-Ref`.  
That’s why this kind of tool doesn’t work out of the box but if you can configure it with GET and the `ref` in the headers that should work.  
We plan to improve this part and make it compatible with this kind of codeGen/Types plugins.  
Hope it helps 😉
