How Do I Use Shopify API in Python?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:29 pm

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

Shopify also has an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows developers to access data from Shopify stores and add functionality to stores. The Shopify API is a REST (Representational State Transfer) API, which means that it uses HTTP requests to GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE data.

In order to use the Shopify API, you need to register as a developer on the Shopify website and create an API key and password. Once you have done this, you can use the Shopify API in Python by installing the ‘ShopifyAPI’ library.

The ‘ShopifyAPI’ library is a wrapper around the Shopify API that makes it easy to access data from Shopify stores in Python. To install the ‘ShopifyAPI’ library, you can use pip:

PRO TIP: The Shopify API is a powerful tool that allows you to access your shopify data and shopify functionality from outside the shopify interface. However, it is important to be aware that the Shopify API is a complex system and should be used with caution. If you are not familiar with programming or the Shopify API, we recommend that you seek help from a qualified developer before attempting to use the Shopify API in Python.

pip install Shopifyapi

Once the ‘ShopifyAPI’ library is installed, you can use it in your Python code by creating a ‘ShopifySession’ object:

from Shopify import ShopifySession
session = ShopifySession(‘your-shop-domain’, ‘your-api-key’, ‘your-api-password’)

You can then use the ‘session’ object to make API calls. For example, to get a list of all products in a shop:

products = session.get(‘/admin/products.json’)
