Admin Activity API

Retired Boards Appdev Graphql Basics And Troubleshooting

Topic summary

Users are seeking an API to access product change logs currently available through Shopify’s admin/activity page, particularly for tracking changes across thousands of products.

Official Response:

  • Shopify confirmed that admin/activity data is not currently available via API
  • Suggested the REST Events object as a partial alternative for store-level events
  • Feedback will be passed to developers for future consideration

Recommended Workarounds:

  • Implement webhooks (products/update, products/create, products/delete) to capture changes in real-time
  • Store webhook payloads in your own database to build a custom change history
  • Consider third-party apps that offer audit log functionality

Status: No native solution exists; issue remains unresolved and requires custom implementation or third-party tools.

Hi,

We are wondering if there is an API for product change logs in Shopify, at the moment, we are accessing the logs via the admin/activity page, but it’s not efficient since we have thousands of products.

Is there a way we can see, for example, the change history of a particular product via an API call?

Kind Regards,

Junwei

Hey @junwei ,

The information you get from ‘admin/activity’ can not be retrieved via the API at the moment and I will certainly pass this along to our developers for future consideration.

You can however take a look at the Events object in REST to see what information you may be able to get in relation to store level events.

Hope that helps!
