getting analyticsToken via graphql query

[mikitski]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get analytics token via simple graphql query from my private app

query {shop{id analyticsToken}}

but getting "analytics_token access denied" error in response. App has Analytics Read Access (read_analytics scope) enabled.

What other permissions do I need to set to be able to get analyticsToken?

Thank you,

Mikitski

Have you solved it

[mikitski]

no, no progress yet unfortunately.

don't think spamming the board will help solve it any faster though

Hi,

From what's mentioned here, To access the Analytics API, a shop must have the advanced report builder feature, included in the Advanced Shopify plan and up. In the API, this feature is called reports_editing.

pls

Hey @mikitski 

You need to request the correct scope during the OAuth process on installation to a shop. I outlined some more information in this post: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/what-should-i-do-pls/m-p/888021/highlight/false#M5...

Thank you Jayvin for the pointer. We are on Plus though, so should have this included. I set the write_reports permission, but still getting the same error. I guess it's not the right one. Imma go hunt down the reports_editing... Any hints on where to set it?

Thank you @Kevin_A . Imma go check out your posts and report back... Hoping we can figure that out soon

@Kevin_A ,

just to clarify - this is a private app here. we built this private app to pipe the shopify data for our store into our enterprise datalake for the needs of integrated analytics and reporting. integration with regular REST APIs works great, but not with Analytics API.

Shopify private apps don't support oAuth. I just went thorough the oAuth steps anyway just to confirm, and getting "Oauth error invalid_request: The Shopify API application does not support oauth"

is there any other way to get authorized for the required Analytics API scopes for the private app?

Thanks,

Mykyta
