-H 'Authorization: Token xxxxx' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"query": "{ continents { code name } }"

Printing response headers
If you want to see response headers, add -D - (dump headers to stdout):

-X POST \
-D - \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"query": "{ continents { code name } }"
}'

If you want to pretty print the output JSON, add | python -m json.tool in the end of the curl call.
curl 'https://countries.trevorblades.com/' \
-X POST \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
