Scott, Have you thought about running a little webserver (using a private API key/pass) that caches that content and exposes it via JSON? If you need the Liquid rendered, take a look at using a Shopify App Proxy as it’s made to do just that: http://www.shopify.com/technology/4627062-application-proxies-the-new-hotness http://api.shopify.com/app_proxy.html ...

Hi Shane, The quote I’m giving in regards to $500+ in orders per month is straight from our contacts at Google. After running the beta, we found that we didn’t get enough bang for buck to drive an official solution via Google Trusted Stores. Instead, we’re focusing efforts into other Google offerings like Google Product Ads. ... View more

Hi Naveed, I just tried this workflow using an iPhone 4S, starting from http://fast-hollows-6645.herokuapp.com/login and was able to approve the app permissions, the test charge, and be redirected through. Can you provide repro steps using curl or a similar ubiquitous tool? ... View more

Hi Augusto, Sorry to hear about your disappointment. I took a look at the product with id 116967054 and see that it’s got 16 variants from both the admin and the API (via hitting https://feeney-group6707.myshopify.com/admin/products/116967054/variants.json with a valid API key/password – in this case I just used a private app). Is this behaviour still happening? I get the feeling that there may be some odd caching happening somewhere along the way that’s messing with us. ... View more

Hi there, To confirm: Shopify is sending a webhook to a web services provided by your fulfillment service and they’re occasionally 401-ing? This sounds like an isolated case as we haven’t heard of any similar issues lately. I’d take a careful look at the request/response logs on the fulfillment service side associated with 401 errors and check that the HMAC logic is correct. If it’s our bad, the easiest way for us to know if for you to show us a malformed webhook POST, but without a reference to be able to reproduce the error, we’re stuck. ... View more

sergey_mo: we do our best to preserve the order of the webhooks, but I’ve heard of rare cases that for whatever reasons that isn’t guaranteed. I’ll investigate it further, but if it’s business critical, I’d look at the timestamps and hit the API just to be sure. ... View more

Ravshan: can you post your (censored) HTTP calls that your app is making? These kinds of errors are usually due to a formatting issue in the JSON you’re posting. You can use a tool like Fiddler to easily capture the HTTP request/response your app is making. ... View more

Two things that jump out at me: http://XXXXXX:XXXXXX@XXXXXX.myshopify.com/admin/products/254XXXXXX/variants.json should be http://XXXXXX:XXXXXX@XXXXXX.myshopify.com/admin/variants/<variant id>.json and you need to make sure the curl command is set to use HTTP PUT, so throw in a  -X PUT  in there. ...

Ben: good call. Do you remember who you were in touch with? ... View more

Hi Mike, Yep, that’s pretty close; make sure you’ve got a variant id in there, per the examples for modifying product variants. I also see that you’ve got the `shared_secret` set as the password – that’s got to be computed via API auth or by using a private app that takes care of that computation for you. ... View more

Hi folks, Scott: I’m glad you’re passionately responding to this announcement. In the last few years we’ve tried various ways of communicating with the community; some have worked better than others. What I can tell you is that the forums are now getting a lot of developer and design love, and we’re keen to take advantage of it. Some answers: support@shopify.com for API questions you can’t post publicly for whatever reasons apps-emergencies@shopify.com for urgent API-related issues causing explosions/making customers cry Stack Overflow questions will continue to be answered – we’re just trying to give developers a single place to come to, and it makes a lot of sense for us to own that particular experience The Shopify Partners area is being redone – existing links should be fixed tomorrow. That footer sucks and I apologize – that’s my bad. RSS updates: point an RSS client to http://shopify.com/technology and you’ll pick it up The API-announce mailing list is obviously not working. We’re going to retire it based on how the Developer Newsletter hits everyone and how in moments of urgent need, we just contact those affected on a one-on-one basis ... View more
