Pagination

Shopify uses cursor-based pagination via the Link header.

Using Page Info

# First request
curl "https://$SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN/admin/api/2024-10/products.json?limit=50" \
  -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: $SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -i

Response includes Link header:

Link: <https://store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-10/products.json?page_info=abc123&limit=50>; rel="next"

# Next page
curl "https://$SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN/admin/api/2024-10/products.json?page_info=abc123&limit=50" \
  -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: $SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Note: When using page_info, you cannot use other query parameters except limit and fields.

Rate Limiting

Shopify uses a leaky bucket algorithm:

Bucket size: 40 requests
Leak rate: 2 requests/second
Restoration: ~20 seconds for full bucket

Response headers:

X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit: Current usage (e.g., 32/40)
Retry-After: Seconds to wait (on 429 response)

Best Practices

Check X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit header
If near limit, add delays between requests
On 429 response, wait for Retry-After seconds
Use bulk operations for large data sets
