shopify admin api

[bguse]

i am attempting to request orders using shopify admin api. my orders.json response is coming back blank.

{

    "orders": []

}

This was working earlier today but my partner changed the shop store. but it has been changed back. (he capitalized and added a space)

any idea why this would happen or how to fix it?

Is it still returning zero orders?

Double check the shops myshopify.com domain to make sure that its correct, though you probably would receive a different error in that case...

Thank you for asking! I couldn't figure out how to reply to my own message after I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong. using a simple python url get request would return blank orders json file. That's because this API only returns current unfulfilled orders!

url = f"https://{shop_name}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-01/orders.json"

I was able to ask Shopify help and the nice person was able to find this to be able to show any recent orders

url = f"https://{shop_name}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-01/orders.json?status=any"

I hope this response will help anyone in the future that is also having this issue.
