If you are willing to consider an alternative, I've recently written a blog post about this topic: Load testing GraphQL with k6.

let accessToken = "YOUR_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN";

let query = `
 query FindFirstIssue {
   repository(owner:"loadimpact", name:"k6") {
     issues(first:1) {
       edges {
         node {
           id
           number
           title
         }
       }
     }
   }
 }`;

let headers = {
 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
 "Content-Type": "application/json"
};

let res = http.post("https://api.github.com/graphql",
 JSON.stringify({ query: query }),
 {headers: headers}
);
