How can I bypass the 1000 loop limit in displaying all brands?

Technical Q&A

Hi,

I have a page where I want to show the brands on the website. I do this by going through all the collections and checking if they have a metafield “brand = true”. We have at least 2000 collections on the website, and because of the limit, we only managed to show half of the brands.

{% for collection in collections %}
…
{% endfor %}

Now, as far as I understood, Shopify has a hard limit of 1000 on how many things can we loop through. Is there a way to get past this limitation? I tried looking at the Admin API if there is something, I tried paginating instead, using limit: 5000, and others, but nothing seemed to work. From what I see, there is no REST endpoint for getting all collections, and I know almost nothing about graphQL. If you have any insights it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have the same issue with very similar script and have not found a way around it. Were you able to get around the limit?
