Can I create my own API to access Shopify's database?

Technical Q&A
1

Is the API provided by Shopify the only way to get data from Shopify’s database?
Or is it possible to create your own API and connect to Shopify’s database?

@RikutoNakamura ,
Yes, Data is only stored in shopify database.
BUT
if you want to store data in your own database then you will need to develop A shopify app to send, recieve, store data in your database.

Thank you!
By the way, is it only the API provided by Shopify that can access the Shopify database?
Is it possible to get data from other than ShopifyApi?
