Can retrieve some orders, but not all using REST API

[roguevzq]

Trying to determine why I am not able to retrieve all orders under my test store (so that I can understand what is happening in Production as well)

As you can see above, I have 13 orders placed on my test store, but I can only retrieve 11. The two orders placed in august, that I have marked in red, are not reachable. Even when I try to look them up by searching by their ID’s

Requests I am using:
sharing my access token here, its fine. this is just a test store.
X-Shopify-Access-Token: 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
[https://vitor-dawn-dev-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders.json?status=any](https://vitor-dawn-dev-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders.json?status=any) - gives me the 11 orders
[https://vitor-dawn-dev-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders/count.json?status=any](https://vitor-dawn-dev-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders/count.json?status=any) - returns 13
[https://vitor-dawn-dev-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders/4062335991963.json](https://vitor-dawn-dev-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders/4062335991963.json) - one of the missing order’s ID. give me 404 Not found.

Also tried through graphQL, but got the same results.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Only the last 60 days’ worth of orders from a store are accessible from the Order resource by default. If you want to access older orders, then you need to request access to all orders. If your app is granted access, then you can add the read_all_orders scope to your app along with read_orders or write_orders. Private apps are not affected by this change and are automatically granted the scope.

And my test app does not have this scope, only production, so it makes sense.
