Hello,
How can we use the rest api and graph ql to get and post metafields. We are using node. Can any one share some examples?
Thanks!
Topic summary
Getting and posting Shopify metafields via the Admin REST API or GraphQL in a Node environment was the main issue.
Current guidance provided:
- Use a Node library for Shopify API access, which can handle the Metafields resource through the Admin API.
- For GraphQL, the recommended references are the Metafield API documentation and a tutorial showing how to manage metafields with the GraphQL Admin API.
- For REST, the Metafield endpoint documentation was shared as the primary reference.
Key technical context:
- Metafields are custom data fields attached to Shopify resources.
- GraphQL is Shopify’s query language-based API, while REST uses resource-based HTTP endpoints.
Outcome:
- No code example was posted directly in the discussion.
- The thread received a documentation-based answer rather than a full implementation walkthrough, so the question is only partially resolved and may still need concrete Node examples.
Hey @opencartcity
There’s a Node Library here available that would allow you to access the Metafields resource on Shopify’s Admin API.
You might like to check out the GraphQL Metafield documentation here. Additionally there’s a great run through regarding the GraphQL Metafields here.
The REST API documentation for Metafields is here. Hope that helps!
