description: >-
  The Shopify Admin API provides programmatic access to manage Shopify store administration. It enables app developers
  and merchants to manage products, customers, orders, inventory, shipping, fulfillment, collections, webhooks, and
  store settings. The Admin API is available in both REST and GraphQL formats. Shopify is transitioning from REST to
  GraphQL as the primary API, with GraphQL recommended for all new development.

  description: >-
    The Shopify Admin REST API lets you build apps and integrations that extend and enhance the Shopify admin. It
    provides access to products, customers, orders, inventory, fulfillment, shipping, and store configuration. All
    requests require a valid Shopify access token generated through OAuth. Note: Shopify is deprecating the REST Admin
    API in favor of GraphQL; new development should use the GraphQL Admin API.

  description: >-
    The Shopify Admin GraphQL API is the recommended API for building Shopify apps and integrations. It provides
    access to all Shopify admin resources including products, customers, orders, inventory, fulfillment, and
    analytics. GraphQL enables efficient data fetching with precise field selection, real-time subscriptions, and
    access to advanced platform features not available in REST.

  name: Shopify Webhooks
  description: >-
    Shopify webhooks allow apps to subscribe to specific events that occur in a store. When an event occurs, Shopify
    sends an HTTP POST request with a JSON payload to the configured endpoint. Webhooks can be configured for events
    across all major Shopify resources including orders, products, customers, inventory, fulfillment, and app-specific
    events.
