Shopify API Node.js (Official module)
Official Shopify API bindings for Node.js.
Installation:
$ npm install --save shopify-api-node
API
This module exports a constructor function which takes an options object.
Shopify(options)
Creates a new Shopify
instance.
Arguments
options
- Required - A plain JavaScript object that contains the configuration options.
Options
shopName
- Required - A string that specifies the shop name. The shop's "myshopify.com" domain is also accepted.apiKey
- Required for private apps - A string that specifies the API key of the app. This option must be used in conjunction with thepassword
option and is mutually exclusive with theaccessToken
option.password
- Required for private apps - A string that specifies the private app password. This option must be used in conjunction with theapiKey
option and is mutually exclusive with theaccessToken
option.accessToken
- Required for public apps - A string representing the permanent OAuth 2.0 access token. This option is mutually exclusive with theapiKey
andpassword
options. If you are looking for a premade solution to obtain an access token, take a look at the shopify-token module.autoLimit
- Optional - This option allows you to regulate the request rate in order to avoid hitting the rate limit. Requests are limited using the token bucket algorithm. Accepted values are a boolean or a plain JavaScript object. When using an object, thecalls
property and theinterval
property specify the refill rate and thebucketSize
property the bucket size. For example{ calls: 2, interval: 1000, bucketSize: 35 }
specifies a limit of 2 requests per second with a burst of 35 requests. When set totrue
requests are limited as specified in the above example. Defaults tofalse
.timeout
- Optional - The number of milliseconds before the request times out. If the request takes longer thantimeout
, it will be aborted. Defaults to60000
, or 1 minute.
Return value
A Shopify
instance.
Exceptions
Throws an Error
exception if the required options are missing.
Example
const Shopify = require('shopify-api-node');
const shopify = new Shopify({
shopName: 'your-shop-name',
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
password: 'your-app-password'
});
shopify.callLimits
The callLimits
property allows you to monitor the API call limit. The value
is an object like this:
{
remaining: 30,
current: 10,
max: 40
}
Values start at undefined
and are updated every time a request is made. After
every update the callLimits
event is emitted with the updated limits as
argument.
shopify.on('callLimits', limits => console.log(limits));
Resources
Every resource is accessed via your shopify
instance:
const shopify = new Shopify({
shopName: 'your-shop-name',
accessToken: 'your-oauth-token'
});
// shopify.<resource_name>.<method_name>
Each method returns a Promise
that resolves with the result:
shopify.order.list({ limit: 5 })
.then(orders => console.log(orders))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
The Shopify API requires that you send a valid JSON string in the request body including the name of the resource. For example, the request body to create a country should be:
{
"country": {
"code": "FR",
"tax": 0.25
}
}
When using shopify-api-node
you don't have to specify the full object but
only the nested one as the module automatically wraps the provided data. Using
the above example this translates to:
shopify.country.create({ code: 'FR', tax: 0.25 })
.then(country => console.log(country))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
Similarly, the Shopify API includes the resource name in the JSON string that is returned in the response body:
{
"country": {
"id": 1070231510,
"name": "France",
"tax": 0.2,
"code": "FR",
"tax_name": "TVA",
"provinces": []
}
}
shopify-api-node
automatically unwraps the parsed object and returns:
{
id: 1070231510,
name: 'France',
tax: 0.2,
code: 'FR',
tax_name: 'TVA',
provinces: []
}
This behavior is valid for all resources.
Metafields
Shopify allows for adding metafields to various resources. You can use the
owner_resource
and owner_id
properties to work with metafields that belong
to a particular resource as shown in the examples below.
Get metafields that belong to a product:
shopify.metafield.list({
metafield: { owner_resource: 'product', owner_id: 632910392 }
}).then(
metafields => console.log(metafields),
err => console.error(err)
);
Create a new metafield for a product:
shopify.metafield.create({
key: 'warehouse',
value: 25,
value_type: 'integer',
namespace: 'inventory',
owner_resource: 'product',
owner_id: 632910392
}).then(
metafield => console.log(metafield),
err => console.error(err)
);
