When to Use REST API (Rarely)
LEGACY API WARNING: Shopify has classified the REST Admin API as legacy since October 1, 2024. Since April 1, 2025, new public apps must use the GraphQL Admin API exclusively. Shopify has not published a blanket December 2026 shutdown date for every REST resource.
Use REST API ONLY for:
- Maintaining existing legacy applications built before 2024
- Simple read-only queries from archived systems
- Temporary compatibility layers during GraphQL migration
- Systems that cannot be updated to use GraphQL
MIGRATE TO GRAPHQL FOR: All new features, bulk operations, cost efficiency, and latest Shopify functionality.
