How to create the cartTransform object without using GraphiQl app?

[Itachi_Uchiha]

After implementing and deploying the Cart Transform function extension to the store, the next step is to create a cartTransform object to activate the function. To do that if try to run the cartTransformCreate mutation using the access_token that I obtained by creating an app from "settings > Apps and sales channels > Develop Apps > API credentials" section I get "function not found" error.  

While the documentation always refers to using the GraphiQl app for every function activation(Ex: 1, 2), there is a need to clarify which access token to use and how to obtain it when activating the function directly from the code.

So, my question is when activating it from my code which access token to use and how do I get that? 

Really stuck here and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Itachi_Uchiha. You are correct that the API credentials from your shop won't work -- functions can only be used by access tokens from the same app that contains them. You would need to make the API request from an embedded app, such as a Remix app. The Remix app template documentation has an example of making a GraphQL call to the Admin API:
