About Shopify
The Shopify Admin API (GraphQL-first since 2024, REST legacy) gives developers full programmatic control over a Shopify store. It covers products, variants, inventory, orders, customers, discounts, fulfillment, and checkout customization. The REST Admin API became legacy in October 2024 and all new public apps must use GraphQL. Shopify releases quarterly versioned API snapshots (e.g., 2026-01, 2026-04). Rate limits use a points-based cost model; Shopify Plus accounts get 2x the standard throughput.
