GraphQL Admin API Testing

Technical Q&A
1

I’m testing a simple API call in PostMan to get a list of orders. I have used both URL endpoints, https://{store_name}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2025-01/graphql.json and https://{store_name}.myshopify.com/api/2025-01/graphql.json, with an error response.

The Header X-Shopify-Access-Token is set to the APP’s Admin API access token.

The query is

{
“query”: “query { orders(first: 10) { edges { node { id } } } }”
}

https://{store_name}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2025-01/graphql.json response:

{
“errors”: “[API] Invalid API key or access token (unrecognized login or wrong password)”
}

https://{store_name}.myshopify.com/api/2025-01/graphql.json response:

{
“errors”: [
{
“message”: “This store is unavailable”,
“extensions”: {
“code”: “NOT_FOUND”
}
}
]
}

Hi @Barbb

To query Shopify Admin Graphql API, you should use url:

https://{store_name}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2025-04/graphql.json

Pay attention that you should add a admin access token for this: https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/authentication-authorization/access-tokens/generate-app-access-tokens-admin

Don’t forget that your admin access token need to grant exactly scope of your query.
