<h2>Help</h2>
<p>Reason given for failure:</p>
<pre>
CSRF token missing or incorrect.
</pre>
<p>In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when
<a
href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/csrf/">Django's
CSRF mechanism</a> has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to
ensure:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Your browser is accepting cookies.</li>
<li>The view function passes a
<code>request</code> to the template's
<a
href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#django.template.backends.base.Template.render">
<code>render</code>
</a>
method.
</li>
<li>In the template, there is a
<code>{% csrf_token
%}</code> template tag inside each POST form that
targets an internal URL.
</li>
<li>If you are not using
<code>CsrfViewMiddleware</code>, then you must use
<code>csrf_protect</code> on any views that use the
<code>csrf_token</code>
template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
</li>
<li>The form has a valid CSRF token. After logging in in another browser
tab or hitting the back button after a login, you may need to reload the
page with the form, because the token is rotated after a login.</li>
</ul>
<p>You're seeing the help section of this page because you have
<code>DEBUG =
True</code> in your Django settings file. Change that to
<code>False</code>,
and only the initial error message will be displayed.
</p>
<p>You can customize this page using the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW setting.</p>

Include this on your URLS
url(r'^graphql', csrf_exempt(GraphQLView.as_view(graphiql=True))),
@ceefour isn’t @NikosVlagoidis comment helpful? basically with:
you’re telling django to not use csrf protection on the GraphQL endpoint, which is fine, since it is an API.
EDIT:
CSRF tokens are required in production by default because django doesn’t know which POST request is for a form and which isn’t. Also CSRF might be useful in the case you want to use the GraphQL endpoint only on your website (so having the token is an additional security measure). But for you case it is totally fine to remove the CSRF token check in production 😃
