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…

Hi Jamie, please include the functionality so to get all metafields for certain ids (add ids paramter). I’d like to get the metafields for a list of products (i.e. metafields for all products in an order). Must say I am very disappointed to see this lacking the API and also finding threads that ar…

I am also interested in more information here. What is the intended use/meaning of this section of the docs pertaining to metafields? This makes it look like we should expect to be able to obtain product metafields at the /admin/metafields.json resource, and filter for conditions; however when I tri…

It was also frustrating to find that the metafields for a product are not included in that product’s json when called at /admin/products/{id}.json, or as part of the list from /admin/products.json. This would have been an intuitive way to access metafields associated with products.

I find it hard to believe that Shopify has been “researching a solution” to this problem for years. It should take 10 minutes of programming to solve given that identical capabilities already exist at other levels of the API. Having to do a separate curl call to find out if each product has a given …

+1 for this. Would also be nice to be able to specifiy a list of product_ids and get the metafields for them. We have a CSV exporter app and one of our customers asked if we could include metafields in the report. With the current API implementation, it’s too expensive to make an API call for each …

Thanks HunkyBill. Maybe you could help me figure out the logic for this. I’m creating a private app for my client. I was hoping to use metafields to allow us to change a binary option (true/false) for each customer. In my app I list all of the customers in the shop, and ideally I’d like to displa…

You get 250 customers per API call. for each customer, add a metafield. simple. You can modify the theme to display the metafield values too, in the customer Liquid files.

Sorry, I meant I need to GRAB that metafield value for each customer in the API. My original thought - grab customers.json , for each customer in there, grab the id and send another request to Shopify for metafields.json with that user id. That should work technically, but if there are 40+ custome…

You can GET 250 customers in one API call. You won’t hit the limit if you page through them like that. And even if you did throw 40 calls out (10,000 customers later).. you still get 2/second. About the API limits… there is a ton of code out there about how to deal with limits in any language except…

Any updates here?
This is needed, otherwise the metafields are stuck in a far off land with the API call limit.
