shopify.clients.Rest

Instances of this class can make requests to the Shopify Admin REST API.

Constructor

Example

// Requests to /my-endpoint must be made with authenticatedFetch for embedded apps
app.get('/my-endpoint', async (req, res) => {
  const sessionId = await shopify.session.getCurrentId({
    isOnline: true,
    rawRequest: req,
    rawResponse: res,
  });

  // use sessionId to retrieve session from app's session storage
  // getSessionFromStorage() must be provided by application
  const session = await getSessionFromStorage(sessionId);

  const client = new shopify.clients.Rest({
    session,
    apiVersion: ApiVersion.January23,
  });
});

Parameters

Receives an object containing:

session

Session | :exclamation: required

The Shopify Session containing an access token to the API.

apiVersion

ApiVersion

This will override the default API version. Any requests made by this client will reach this version instead.

Get

Sends a GET request to the Admin API.

Example

const getResponse = await client.get({
  path: 'products',
});
console.log(getResponse.headers, getResponse.body);

Note: If using TypeScript, you can also pass in a type argument to cast the response body:

interface MyResponseBodyType {
  products: {
    /* ... */
  };
}

const response = await client.get<MyResponseBodyType>({
  path: 'products',
});

// response.body will be of type MyResponseBodyType
console.log(response.body.products);

Parameters

path

string | :exclamation: required

The requested API endpoint path. This can be one of two formats:

• The path starting after the /admin/api/{version}/ prefix, such as 'products', which executes /admin/api/{version}/products.json, where {version} is obtained from the library configuration (see shopifyApi.
• The full path, such as /admin/oauth/access_scopes.json
