shopify-api-rest

shopify-api-rest is a skill for Claude Code from OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins. It costs 60 tokens per session (918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A legacy integration guide for Shopify's REST Admin API, an HTTP interface for reading and changing store data. Shopify deprecated this API in October 2024, so the guide is intended for existing integrations and moves to the GraphQL Admin API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain REST requests for products, orders, and customers, inspect rate-limit and pagination behavior, or plan a move from REST to Shopify GraphQL.
Why use it?
It helps maintain older Shopify connections while avoiding the deprecated interface for new work. It explains authentication, request limits, pagination, and the changes needed for migration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shopify-api-rest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Shopify REST Admin API (DEPRECATED)

DEPRECATION NOTICE: The Shopify REST Admin API was deprecated in October 2024. All new development MUST use the GraphQL Admin API. This skill exists for maintaining legacy code and planning migration.

Before writing code

Fetch live docs:

  1. Web-search site:shopify.dev rest admin api deprecation for deprecation timeline
  2. Web-search site:shopify.dev migrate rest to graphql for migration guide
  3. Fetch https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest for REST reference (if maintaining legacy code)

REST API Overview (Legacy)

Endpoints

  • Base URL: https://{store}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{version}/
  • Resources: products.json, orders.json, customers.json, etc.
  • CRUD via HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

Authentication

  • Header: X-Shopify-Access-Token: {token}
  • Same OAuth tokens work for both REST and GraphQL

Rate Limits

  • Bucket-based: 40 requests per app per store (leaky bucket)
  • Headers: X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit: 32/40
  • Plus stores: 80 requests

Pagination

  • Cursor-based via Link header (not page numbers)
  • rel="next" and rel="previous" links

REST-to-GraphQL Migration

Common Mappings

REST Endpoint GraphQL Equivalent
GET /products.json query { products(first: 50) { edges { node { ... } } } }
POST /products.json mutation { productCreate(input: {...}) { ... } }
PUT /products/{id}.json mutation { productUpdate(input: {...}) { ... } }
DELETE /products/{id}.json mutation { productDelete(input: {id: "..."}) { ... } }
GET /orders.json query { orders(first: 50) { edges { node { ... } } } }
GET /customers.json query { customers(first: 50) { edges { node { ... } } } }

Key Differences

Aspect REST GraphQL
Data shape Fixed response Client-defined
Rate limiting Request count (40/s) Cost-based (1000 points)
Pagination Link headers Cursor arguments
Bulk operations Not available bulkOperationRunQuery
Webhooks REST endpoint Same (subscription via GraphQL)
ID format Numeric (12345) GID (gid://shopify/Product/12345)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
