Re: Rest Admin API request to get product_id from the handle of product

Rest Admin API request to get product_id from the handle of product

Hello, I was able to use https://<storename>.myshopify/admin/products.json?handle=<handle_name> to get the json data for a particular product using only its handle. But recently, It has been returning an empty dataset. Does anyone know an alternative way to get the product_id from the handle of a product.

Thank you.

{"errors":{"id":"expected String to be a id"}}

This is the return I am getting from both the requests. 

Thank you for the quick reply.

Not exactly sure what you did there but here is a concrete example if I wasn't clear

 

This is a product page

https://www.mollyjogger.com/products/scrimshaw-heirloom-knife-kit

This is the js link

https://www.mollyjogger.com/products/scrimshaw-heirloom-knife-kit.js

This is the json link

https://www.mollyjogger.com/products/scrimshaw-heirloom-knife-kit.json

 

I get correct response for all of the above, let me know how you go.

 

PS: The links will work the same with a Shopify domain, for example

https://mollyjogger.myshopify.com/products/scrimshaw-heirloom-knife-kit.js

 

This returns

During the many idle hours at sea, a whaler etched drawings of nautical themes on items that were readily available to him such as sperm whale teeth and bones. His primary etching instrument was a sail needle, nail or pocket knife. After he scratched his art work into the surface of the bone, he would rub lamp black or tobacco juice into the scratch to reveal the drawing. As America traveled west, the frontiersmen carried the art form with them, applying it to their powder-horns, knives and other accoutrements. </span>  <strong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><a href=\"https://www.pinterest.com/mollyjogger/diy-scrimshaw-kit/\" title=\"Scrimshaw DIY Kit\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.pinterest.com/mollyjogger/diy-scrimshaw-kit/\" target=\"_blank\">Checkout the examples from our customers</a></strong></p>\n<p>You can experience this art form too as you scrimshaw the images of a hunt, big catch or simply the family name on your very own bone-handled pocket knife.

It does work on the product pages from the domain of the store directly but I does not seem to returning in the myshopify store request. And, I need it on there since I want to get the product_id of a product in draft status and they won't be published on the store url. So, The only way to get those would be through 

https://<storename>.myshopify/admin/products.json but that returns 

{"errors":{"id":"expected String to be a id"}}

https://<storename>.myshopify/admin/products.json

double-check the URL I sent, I don't have /admin/ in them, as I explained, those URLs work with the myshopify domain, it is a Shopify feature

https://<storename>.myshopify/admin/products.json works as intended but the handle endpoint does not. And the https://shopify.dev/api/ajax/reference/product is an AJAX API request so I don't think it works the same as a REST API request. Thank you for the help so far.

I know you posted about this a while ago but I eventually found a solution when getting stuck myself so this might help others if not you...

 

https://<storename>.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-01/products.json?handle=toy-rocking-horse (for all the usual fields)

https://<storename>.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-01/products.json?handle=toy-rocking-horse&fields=id (if you just wanted the id as you originally asked about)

https://<storename>.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-01/products.json?handle=toy-rocking-horse&fields=id... (if a subset of the fields was useful by also passing in a comma separated list of values)
