How can I edit orders programmatically without using or building an app?

[EvanP]

I'd like to edit orders in a programming language of my choice without the use of an app. 

Ideally, I'd be able to issue an http request with an access token to retrieve or update store data, like this:

curl -X GET "https://storedomain.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-10/orders.json?fields=created_at%2Cid%2Cname%2Ctotal-price" \
-H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: TOKEN"

I've looked at the shopify storefront api, but I do not see a way to edit orders.

I've also looked at the admin rest api (where you can edit orders via a PUT request), but it looks like this can only be accessed through an app?
