How Do I Access My Shopify API?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:14 pm

The Shopify API is a powerful tool that lets you access your shop’s data and information. With the API, you can create, update, and delete data in your shop. You can also use the API to connect to other Shopify apps and services.

To get started with the API, you need to first create a private app in your shop. Private apps are apps that only you can use. To create a private app, log in to your shop’s admin panel and go to Apps.

Then, click on the Manage private apps button.

On the Create a new private app page, enter a name for your app and click Create app. After you’ve created your app, you’ll be taken to the App details page.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to access your Shopify API, it is important to note that there are a few things you need to do in order to get started. First, you need to make sure that you have a Shopify account. Then, you need to generate an API key and secret from your Shopify account. Finally, you need to create a file called .env in your project’s root directory with the following contents:

SHOPIFY_API_KEY=your_api_key
SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=your_api_secret

Failure to do any of these things will result in an error when trying to access the Shopify API.

On the App details page, you’ll find your API key and API password. These are the credentials that you need to access the API. You should keep your API key and password secret and never share them with anyone.

Now that you have your API key and password, you’re ready to start using the API. To learn more about how to use the API, check out our documentation.
