How Do I Run API on Shopify?

If you’re running an online shop, then you’ve probably heard of Shopify. It’s a popular eCommerce platform that helps businesses manage their online stores.

One of the great things about Shopify is that it has its own set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that you can use to extend the functionality of your store. In this article, we’ll show you how to use the Shopify API to run some basic tasks on your store.

First, you’ll need to sign up for a Shopify account and create a new app. To do this, go to the Apps section of your Shopify admin and click on the “Create a new app” button.

Once you’ve created your app, you’ll be given a set of API keys (a public key and a secret key). These keys will be used to authenticate your app with Shopify.

Next, you’ll need to install theShopify gem. This gem is a Ruby library that makes it easy to work with the Shopify API. To install it, simply run the following command:

gem install Shopify_api

Once the gem is installed, you can start using it in your Ruby code. First, you’ll need to require the library:

require ‘shopify_api’

Next, you’ll need to create a new instance of the ShopifyAPI::Session class. This class represents a connection to a particular Shopify store. You’ll need to pass in the URL of the store’s admin panel as well as the API keys for your app:

session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(“https://my-store.myShopify.com/admin”, api_key: “abc123”, secret: “def456”)

Now that you have a session, you can activate it by calling the #activate method:

session.activate #=> true

Once the session is activated, you can start making API calls. For example, let’s say we want to get a list of all products in our shop. We can do this by calling the #products method on our session object:

products = session.products #=> [#1, ..}>, .]

Products are represented by instances of the ShopifyAPI::Product class. Each product has a set of attributes that describe it (such as its name, price, etc). You can access these attributes using standard Ruby methods:

product = products.first #=> #1, .}>
product.id #=> 1 (the product’s id attribute)
product.name #=> “My Product” (the product’s name attribute)

If you want to create a new product, you can do so by calling the #create method on our session object and passing in a hash of product attributes:

product = session.products.create(name: “My New Product”, price: 9.99)

Now that we know how to create and retrieve products using the Shopify API, let’s take a look at how we can add and remove products from an order. First, we’ll need to get an instance of an existing order from our shop:

order = session
