ShopifyAPI is a Python client library for programmatically accessing the Shopify Admin API, built on pyactiveresource to provide a Ruby-gem-like interface for managing store resources. The package is officially deprecated and no longer maintained; Shopify directs users to the shopifyapp package instead.

Use cases

  • manage shopify store products from python
  • create shopify orders via admin api
  • authenticate a shopify app with oauth
  • query shopify graphql admin api from python
  • sync inventory between systems and shopify
  • paginate through shopify customers cursor-based

When to choose

  • maintaining an existing integration already built on ShopifyAPI
  • working with an older Shopify store setup where migration is not yet possible

When to avoid

  • starting a new Shopify integration in Python
  • needing support for the latest Shopify platform features
  • requiring security fixes or ongoing maintenance
