Is there Shopify app template that I can use just to expose the admin API?

[Anthony__P]

I have been involved with a lot of theme development in Shopify but I have not done any app development heavily, only messed around with it. I am aware that in order to use the admin API you have to create a custom app. 

Is there a template or type of Shopify app that I can use solely for exposing the admin API? I do not need to set up some sort of UI for what I need my app to do. Just need to use the admin API.
