Get user details for who updated product/customer with Shopify API

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A developer is seeking information about retrieving user attribution data through the Shopify API.

Currently, the API returns timestamps (created_at and updated_at) for products and customers, but does not include fields identifying which user or staff member performed these actions (such as created_by or updated_by).

The developer is asking:

  • Whether this user attribution data is available through the API
  • If Shopify has plans to add these fields to future API responses

This remains an open question with no resolution provided in the discussion.

With Shopify API for product and customer JSON response, can we get details about who created or updated the product or customer. We get details like created_at and updated_at but can’t get details about who created or updated the product or customer like created_by or updated_by.

Is there any planning to release update to API response that will include user’s information.
