How does Shopify Apps get the “standard” shipping value, and is it available through the API? Which api should be used
Shopify apps get the “standard” shipping value by using the Shipping Rates API, which retrieves the default shipping rates set by the store or any third-party carriers integrated with Shopify.
To get this data through the API, you can use the Storefront API or Admin API with the Shipping Rate API endpoint to fetch shipping options based on the cart or checkout.
If you need to pull the rates programmatically, you’ll likely be using the Admin API’s checkout/create or checkout/update endpoints, as they handle shipping rate calculations during checkout.

Can you tell me the specific Api? Thank you
To get the shipping rates programmatically, the specific Shopify API you’ll want to use is the Admin API, and the key endpoint is:
POST /admin/api/2024-04/checkouts/{checkout_token}/shipping_rates.json
This returns the available shipping rates for a given checkout. You’ll first need to create a checkout using:
POST /admin/api/2024-04/checkouts.json
Once the checkout is created and you have the checkout token, you can then fetch the shipping rates.
