- The API is implemented as JSON over HTTP using all four verbs (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE). Each resource, like Order, Product, or Collection, has its own URL and is manipulated in isolation. In other words, we’ve tried to make the API follow the REST principles as much as possible.

- ### !! Breaking change notice for version 8.0.0 !!
14
-
15
- ApiVersion was introduced in Version 7.0.0 and known versions were hard coded into the gem. Manually defining api versions is no longer required for versions not listed in the gem. Version 8.0.0 removes the following:
16
- * `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion::Unstable`
17
- * `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion::Release`
18
- * `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.define_version`
19
-
20
- The following methods on `ApiVersion` have been deprecated:
21
- - `.coerce_to_version` deprecated. use `.find_version`
22
- - `.define_known_versions` deprecated. Use `.fetch_known_versions`
23
- - `.clear_defined_versions` deprecated. Use. `.clear_known_versions`
24
- - `.latest_stable_version` deprecated. Use `ShopifyAPI::Meta.admin_versions.find(&:latest_supported)` (this fetches info from Shopify servers. No authentication required.)
25
- - `#name` deprecated. Use `#handle`
26
- - `#stable?` deprecated. Use `#supported?`
27
-
28
- Version 8.0.0 introduces a _version lookup mode_. By default, `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.version_lookup_mode` is `:define_on_unknown`. When setting the api_version on `Session` or `Base`, the `api_version` attribute takes a version handle (ie `'2019-07'` or `:unstable`) and sets an instance of `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion` matching the handle. When the version_lookup_mode is set to `:define_on_unknown`, any handle will naïvely create a new `ApiVersion` if the version is not in the known versions returned by `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.versions`.
29
-
30
- To ensure only known and active versions can be set, call
31
-
32
- ```ruby
33
- ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.version_lookup_mode = :raise_on_unknown
34
- ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.fetch_known_versions
35
- ```
36
-
37
- Known and active versions are fetched from https://app.shopify.com/services/apis.json and cached. Trying to use a version outside this cached set will raise an error. To switch back to naïve lookup and create a version if its not found, call `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.version_lookup_mode = :define_on_unknown`.

42
- ### Changes to ShopifyAPI::Session
43
- Session creation requires `api_version` to be set and now uses keyword arguments
44
-
45
- To upgrade your use of ShopifyAPI you will need to make the following changes.
46
-
47
- ```ruby
48
- ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain, token, extras)
49
- ```
50
- is now
51
- ```ruby
52
- ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: api_version, extras: extras)
53
- ```
54
- Note `extras` is still optional the other arguments are required.
55
-
56
- ```ruby
57
- ShopifyAPI::Session.temp(domain, token, extras) do
58
- ...
59
- end
60
- ```
61
- is now
62
- ```ruby
63
- ShopifyAPI::Session.temp(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: api_version) do
64
- ...
65
- end
66
- ```
67
-
68
- For example if you want to use the `2019-04` version you would create a session like this:
69
- ```ruby
70
- session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: '2019-04')
71
- ```
72
- if you want to use the `unstable` version you would create a session like this:
73
- ```ruby
74
- session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: :unstable)
75
- ```
76
-
77
- ### Changes to how to define resources
78
-
79
- If you have defined or customized Resources, classes that extend `ShopifyAPI::Base`:
80
- The use of `self.prefix =` has been deprecated you should now use `self.resource =` and not include `/admin`.
81
- For example if you specified a prefix like this before:
82
- ```ruby
83
- class MyResource < ShopifyAPI::Base
84
- self.prefix = '/admin/shop/'
85
- end
86
- ```
87
- You will update this to:
88
- ```ruby
89
- class MyResource < ShopifyAPI::Base
90
- self.resource_prefix = 'shop/'
91
- end
92
- ```
93
-
94
- ### URL construction
95
-
96
- If you have specifed any full paths for API calls in find
97
- ```ruby
98
- def self.current(options={})
99
- find(:one, options.merge(from: "/admin/shop.#{format.extension}"))
100
- end
101
- ```
102
- would be changed to
103
-
104
- ```ruby
105
- def self.current(options = {})
106
- find(:one, options.merge(
107
- from: api_version.construct_api_path("shop.#{format.extension}")
108
- ))
109
- end
110
- ```
111
-
112
- ### URLs that have not changed
113
-
114
- - OAuth URLs for `authorize`, getting the `access_token` from a code, `access_scopes`, and using a `refresh_token` have _not_ changed.
115
- - get: `/admin/oauth/authorize`
116
- - post: `/admin/oauth/access_token`
117
- - get: `/admin/oauth/access_scopes`
118
- - URLs for the merchant’s web admin have _not_ changed. For example: to send the merchant to the product page the url is still `/admin/product/<id>`

+
12

- ### Getting Started
76
+ ## Getting Started
77
+
78
+ ShopifyAPI sessions need to be configured with a fully authorized URL of a particular store before they can start making API calls. To obtain that URL, you can follow these steps:
79
+
80
+ ### 1) Create an app
81
+
82
+ First, create a new application in either the partners admin or your store admin.
150
83
 
151
- ShopifyAPI uses ActiveResource to communicate with the REST web service. ActiveResource has to be configured with a fully authorized URL of a particular store first. To obtain that URL you can follow these steps:
84
+ **Private apps** are used for merchant-owned scripts and apps that run silently in the background on a single shop. Private apps aren't able to render any content in the admin. Private apps are created through the store admin.
152
85
 
153
- 1. First create a new application in either the partners admin or your store admin. For a private App you'll need the API_KEY and the PASSWORD otherwise you'll need the API_KEY and SHARED_SECRET.
86
+ **Custom apps** are also used for a single shop, but they have access to [app extensions](https://shopify.dev/docs/app-extensions) that allow the app to render content in the admin and are managed and created through the partners dashboard.
154
87
 
155
- If you're not sure how to create a new application in the partner/store admin and/or if you're not sure how to generate the required credentials, you can [read the related shopify docs](https://docs.shopify.com/api/guides/api-credentials) on the same.
88
+ **Public apps** can be installed on many stores, and can be added to the Shopify App Store to generate revenue for the developer.
156

157

116
+ ### 3) Requesting access from a shop
117
+
118
+ Public and Custom apps need an access token from each shop to access that shop's data. Getting an access token is a two-stage process. The first stage is to redirect the merchant to a **permission URL** to grant access to the app.
174
119
 
175
- 3. In order to access a shop's data, apps need an access token from that specific shop. This is a two-stage process. Before interacting with a shop for the first time an app should redirect the user to the following URL:
120
+ We've added the `create_permission_url` method to make this easier :
121
+
122
+ ```ruby
123
+ # We need to instantiate the session object before using it
124
+ shopify_session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: "SHOP_NAME.myshopify.com", api_version: api_version, token: nil)

+ ```

+
130
+ After creating the permission URL, the user should be directed to this URL to approve the app.

326
+ ## Bulk Operations
327
+
328
+ With the GraphQL Admin API, you can use bulk operations to asynchronously fetch data in bulk. The API is designed to reduce complexity and improve performance when dealing with large volumes of data.
329
+
330
+ Instead of manually paginating results and managing a client-side throttle, you can instead run a bulk query operation. Shopify’s infrastructure does the hard work of executing your query, and then provides you with a URL where you can download all of the data.
331
+
332
+ Apps are limited to running a single bulk operation at a time per shop. When the operation is complete, the results are delivered in the form of a JSONL file that Shopify makes available at a URL.
333
+
334
+ ### Example
335
+
336
+ The following mutation queries the products connection and returns each product's ID and title.
337
+
338
+ #### 1) Start the bulk operation
358

372
372
  ```
373
+ #### Step 2) Poll the status of the bulk operation
373
374
 
374
- [GraphQL client documentation](docs/graphql.md)
375
+ While the operation is running, you need to poll to see its progress using the `currentBulkOperation` field. The `objectCount` field increments to indicate the operation's progress, and the `status` field returns whether the operation is completed.

- If you were previously using Shopify's [activeresource fork](https://github.com/shopify/activeresource) then you should remove it and use ActiveResource 4.1.

416
+ ```
381
417
 
382
- ## Pagination
418
+ #### Step 3) Retrieve your data
419
+
420
+ Since bulk operations are specifically designed to fetch large datasets, we’ve chosen the [JSON Lines](http://jsonlines.org/) (JSONL) format for the response data so that clients have more flexibility in how they consume the data. JSONL is similar to JSON, but each line is a valid JSON object. The file can be parsed one line at a time by using file streaming functionality to avoid issues with memory consumption.
383
421
 
384
- Pagination can occur in one of two ways.
422
+ A JSONL output file is available for download at the URL specified in the `url` field when the operation completes.
423
+
424
+ Each line in the file is a node object returned in a connection. If a node has a nested connection, then each child node is extracted into a new object on the next line. Below is an example of a JSONL file.
425
+
426
+ ```json
427
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569226808"}
428
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/19435458986040","title":"70","__parentId":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569226808"}
429
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569259576"}
430
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/19435459018808","title":"34","__parentId":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569259576"}
431
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569292344"}
432
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/19435459051576","title":"Default Title","__parentId":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569292344"}
433
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569325112"}
434
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/19435459084344","title":"36","__parentId":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569325112"}
435
+ {"id":"gid://shopify/Product/1921569357880"}

+
496
+ ## Breaking change notice for version 8.0.0
497
+
498
+ Version 7.0.0 introduced ApiVersion, and known versions were hardcoded into the gem. Manually defining API versions is no longer required for versions not listed in the gem. Version 8.0.0 removes the following:
499
+ * `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion::Unstable`
500
+ * `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion::Release`
501
+ * `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.define_version`
502
+
503
+ The following methods on `ApiVersion` have been deprecated:
504
+ - `.coerce_to_version` deprecated. use `.find_version`
505
+ - `.define_known_versions` deprecated. Use `.fetch_known_versions`
506
+ - `.clear_defined_versions` deprecated. Use. `.clear_known_versions`
507
+ - `.latest_stable_version` deprecated. Use `ShopifyAPI::Meta.admin_versions.find(&:latest_supported)` (this fetches info from Shopify servers. No authentication required.)
508
+ - `#name` deprecated. Use `#handle`
509
+ - `#stable?` deprecated. Use `#supported?`
510
+
511
+ Version 8.0.0 introduces a _version lookup mode_. By default, `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.version_lookup_mode` is `:define_on_unknown`. When setting the api_version on `Session` or `Base`, the `api_version` attribute takes a version handle (i.e. `'2019-07'` or `:unstable`) and sets an instance of `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion` matching the handle. When the version_lookup_mode is set to `:define_on_unknown`, any handle will naïvely create a new `ApiVersion` if the version is not in the known versions returned by `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.versions`.
512
+
513
+ To ensure you're setting only known and active versions, call :
514
+
515
+ ```ruby
516
+ ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.version_lookup_mode = :raise_on_unknown
517
+ ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.fetch_known_versions
518
+ ```
519
+
520
+ Known and active versions are fetched from https://app.shopify.com/services/apis.json and cached. Trying to use a version outside this cached set will raise an error. To switch back to naïve lookup and create a version if one is not found, call `ShopifyAPI::ApiVersion.version_lookup_mode = :define_on_unknown`.
521
+
522
+
523
+ ## Breaking change notice for version 7.0.0
524
+
525
+ ### Changes to ShopifyAPI::Session
526
+ When creating sessions, `api_version`is now required and uses keyword arguments.
527
+
528
+ To upgrade your use of ShopifyAPI you will need to make the following changes.
529
+
530
+ ```ruby
531
+ ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain, token, extras)
532
+ ```
533
+ is now
534
+ ```ruby
535
+ ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: api_version, extras: extras)
536
+ ```
537
+ Note `extras` is still optional. The other arguments are required.
538
+
539
+ ```ruby
540
+ ShopifyAPI::Session.temp(domain, token, extras) do
541
+ ...
542
+ end
543
+ ```
544
+ is now
545
+ ```ruby
546
+ ShopifyAPI::Session.temp(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: api_version) do
547
+ ...
548
+ end
549
+ ```
550
+
551
+ For example, if you want to use the `2019-04` version, you will create a session like this:
552
+ ```ruby
553
+ session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: '2019-04')
554
+ ```
555
+ if you want to use the `unstable` version, you will create a session like this:
556
+ ```ruby
557
+ session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: domain, token: token, api_version: :unstable)
558
+ ```
559
+
560
+ ### Changes to how to define resources
561
+
562
+ If you have defined or customized Resources, classes that extend `ShopifyAPI::Base`:
563
+ The use of `self.prefix =` has been deprecated; you should now use `self.resource =` and not include `/admin`.
564
+ For example, if you specified a prefix like this before:
565
+ ```ruby
566
+ class MyResource < ShopifyAPI::Base
567
+ self.prefix = '/admin/shop/'
568
+ end
569
+ ```
570
+ You will update this to:
571
+ ```ruby
572
+ class MyResource < ShopifyAPI::Base
573
+ self.resource_prefix = 'shop/'
574
+ end
575
+ ```
576
+
577
+ ### URL construction
578
+
579
+ If you have specified any full paths for API calls in find
580
+ ```ruby
581
+ def self.current(options={})
582
+ find(:one, options.merge(from: "/admin/shop.#{format.extension}"))
583
+ end
584
+ ```
585
+ would be changed to
586
+
587
+ ```ruby
588
+ def self.current(options = {})
589
