Get variant by id with admin graphQL

Hi,

I’m trying to get a variant by ID using the graphQL, I need to use the graphQL as the fields I need aren’t available in the rest api. Having looked around what I’m doing should be correct, it’s the accepted answer on a few posts from 2019/2020. However I’m facing the error: “Field ‘productVariants’ doesn’t accept argument ‘id’”. The same call works fine for products if I switch out the top line to “product(id: “gid://shopify/Product/6728415838363”) {”

My graphQL:

{
  productVariants(id:"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/39865779749019") {
    id
    storefrontId
}
}

If you have any ideas I’d be incredibly grateful. I’m using the 2021-04 api.

Thanks.

Hey @mRichman

Try with this

{
  productVariant(id:"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/39865779749019") {
    id
    storefrontId
}
}

you cannot query productVariants with a single id
