Shopify Source Plugin

Latest: Unpublished

The CloudQuery Shopify plugin pulls data from Shopify and loads it into any supported CloudQuery destination (e.g. PostgreSQL).

Authentication

In order to fetch information from Shopify, cloudquery needs to be authenticated. Either an API key and password (in the case of basic custom/private apps) or an access token (for OAuth apps) is required for authentication.

Refer to the Shopify Help Center article on Custom apps and create a custom app. Follow Get the API credentials for a custom app section to get the credentials for Admin API and put them in your plugin configuration as api_key and api_secret.

If you have a large or busy store, API key/secret type credentials might not be enough due to the heavy rate limiting. In this case, you can use OAuth in your custom app to get an access token which allow many more requests a second. To use that token in your plugin configuration instead, just set it in access_token and remove api_key and api_secret sections. For more information, refer to Shopify.dev on the subject.

Configuration Reference

This is the (nested) spec used by the Shopify source plugin:

api_key (string, required*): The API Key for your custom app in your store.
api_secret (string, required*): The API Secret for your custom app in your store.
access_token (string, required if api_key/secret is not used): An access token for your Shopify custom app. This is an alternative way of authenticating, use either this or the ones above.
shop_url (string, required): The URL of your Shopify store. Must start with https:// and end with .myshopify.com.
timeout_secs (integer in seconds, optional. Default: 10): Timeout for requests against the Shopify Admin API.
max_retries (integer, optional. Default: 30): Number of retries if a request was rate limited.

Example

This example syncs from Shopify to a Postgres destination. The (top level) source spec section is described in the Source Spec Reference.

# Common source-plugin configuration

  name: shopify
  path: cloudquery/shopify
  version: "Unpublished"
  tables: ["*"]
  destinations: ["postgresql"]

  # Shopify specific configuration
  spec:
    api_key: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"
    api_secret: "<YOUR_API_SECRET_HERE>"
    shop_url: "https://<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"
