Shopify Admin API

URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/shopify-admin/refs/heads/main/apis.yml

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.
