Shopify GraphQL APIs

Before writing code

Fetch live docs:

1. Fetch https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql for Admin API schema
2. Fetch https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront for Storefront API schema
3. Web-search site:shopify.dev graphql api versioning for current API versions

Two APIs

Admin API (Server-Side)

Full CRUD on all store resources:

• Endpoint: https://{store}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{version}/graphql.json
• Auth: X-Shopify-Access-Token header
• Use for: product management, order processing, customer data, metafields, fulfillment
• Rate limit: cost-based, max 1,000 points per query. Restore rate varies by plan (100 pts/s Standard, 200 Advanced, 1,000 Plus)
