This has been posted before, but the Shopify support hasn’t answered it yet… And it is a good and reasonable question. I want to get all the metafields for all the products. My understanding is that there is no API like: /admin/products/metafields.json The only one is like this: /admin/products…

Problem will never be solved because developers doesn’t understand why other CMS have SKU by default in main table (like product id and product name). Attributes (include features and combinations) alwais contained in other tables but product SKU available as main field any time. We have simple beh…

Initially I also wanted to get metafields with a call to products.json, but after read all replies here, I changed my mind :slight_smile: +1 HunkyBill

Hey Guys, Is there any update on this issue? I am trying to read all products from Shopify Admin API. I also need to include the product metafields. I have abou 7000 products and if I use the currentl solution it will took almost an hour to get these products, which is very very long time. Kifla…

@fadi . 7000 products is 28 API calls. You get about 40 without delay, so without dwelling on what that exactly means, consider it quick, not very very long time. Additionally, now with GraphQL at your disposal, you are free to get your products with the metafield data you crave at the same time. So…

@HUnkyBIll Thanks for the quick response. You right to get all products is 28 API call. To get metafield for each product will be (7000/2) seconds I have to fire a single request for each product. it Will take more than an hour. So am not sure what do you mean it will be only 28 API

@fadi . You missed something crucial in my explanation. Read it again. Closely. With GraphQL you can retrieve a product AND its metafield data of interest to you. So your math is off. I told you you now get to skip those 7000 extra calls. Pay attention man! I waste no words. They all matter.

@HunkBill, Look man I didn’t ask you an advice with what I can and I can’t do with GraphQL.My question is related to the REST API and metafields You said “7000 products is 28 API calls. You get about 40 without delay, so without dwelling on what that exactly means, consider it quick, not very ver…

Allow me to interject here. With the new GraphQL Admin API, it is possible to obtain metafields for products in a way that does not add to your REST Admin API call limit. It is possible to combine your existing REST calls, which gathers a ton of data at the Product level, and then use the “admin_gr…

Thanks Alex That could help. To get product metafields using the REST API there is no solution other than firing a single request for each product. Is this right Alex?
