Access Token

1) How do we get X-Shopify-Access-Tokens for Live stores? 
The documentation doesn't seem to be very helpful. I have generated X-Shopify-Access-Token for development stores using a public app (draft status). However, I don't know how to generate the token for live stores. 
Draft public app needs to be approved before I can use it in a live store. Is there any other method other than a public app?

2) Is there another alternative to X-Shopify-Access-Tokens for authentication?
In other platforms we can generate access token via UI. 

Please let me know. Thanks.

  1. Yes a public app has to be approved before a live store can install it. Otherwise, you will need to create a custom app for a specific merchant and use the custom merchant install link to enable OAuth2 and get their access token. 

  2. If you only need back-end REST / GraphQL API access, the merchant can create a "private app" on your behalf which generates an api key and secret that they then give to you. Otherwise I don't know of any other way to get X-Shopify-Access-Token outside of OAuth.

I am using the private app.

https://xxxxxxx:xxxxx@xxxxx.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-07/products.json

The private works when I don't have a request body. However, whenever I insert a request body I get the following back in postman.

Any idea why?

<html>

<body>
  <noscript>
    <a

  <script type="text/javascript" defer>

This is a common problem with Shopify and postman, you need to delete your cookies from postman.

If you use koa-auth-shopify the access token is stored in the session under ctx.session.accessToken

const { shop, accessToken } = ctx.session;

 Depending on your mode (online of offline) the token does expire or not.
