Is there a way to get a customer orders? (Shopify API Node.js )

Technical Q&A
1

As the title says… I’m trying to get a customer orders. Is there any way to do so with using the shopify api node?

I see a method called orders on the customer but it says “id”. I’ve passed it all the id’s that was returned in the customer object.

Here the link to the documentation.

Thanks.

Can you provide the code snippet you’re using?

Yes I can. What id is being passed in the orders method?

shopify.customer
.orders(id)
.then((orders) => res.status(200).json({msg: orders }))
.catch((err) => console.error(err));

It should be the customer numerical Id (e.g. 419331998712) according to this:

https://github.com/MONEI/Shopify-api-node/blob/master/resources/customer.js#L67

What sort of response are you getting back?

Any customer id I give the method I get back a blank array. But, I know the customer exists. Here’s my customer id (1549978173504) that I get when I do a customer search with this method

shopify.customer
      .search({
        first_name: req.body.searchParam
      })
      .then(search => {
        console.log(search)
        return res.status(200).json({
          msg: search
        })
      })
      .catch(err => {
        return res.status(400).json({
          msg: err
        })
      });

After I run that method above I run this method with the id

shopify.customer
  .orders(1549978173504)
  .then((orders) => res.status(200).json({msg: orders }))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

and response from the method above returns a blank array.

what you are lacking is a necessary query paramater status - you need to set it to any so that the response will return all customer’s orders. like so:

shopify.customer
  .orders(1549978173504, { status: 'any' })
  .then((orders) => res.status(200).json({msg: orders }))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Hi,

I’ve tried the code as you suggested, but I still get a 401 Unauthorized Error.

Code:

shopify.customer
        .orders( customer.id, { status: 'any' })
        .then((orders) => res.status(200).json({msg: orders }))
        .catch((err) => console.error(err));

I’m using this in the GDPR webhook

app.post('/customers/data_request', async(req, res) => {});

and customer.id contains the Customer ID for whom data is requested.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
