## AI overview

Apollo introduces Apollo Sandbox, an open GraphQL IDE for local development. It makes Apollo Explorer available without login and provides no-code query building, field and path search, response formatting, and testing for local GraphQL servers.

## Source excerpt

Today, we're introducing Apollo Sandbox - the quickest way to navigate and test your GraphQL endpoints. At the end of 2020, we launched development graphs with the goal of making Apollo tools more accessible and valuable for every GraphQL developer. Sandbox takes us another step closer to that goal by making the Apollo Explorer openly available to any developer, with no login required. We're excited to give back to the GraphQL community with Sandbox, and we think you'll love using it.
