Metafields not connect with shopify remix app

Topic summary

Issue: A developer’s Shopify app built with Remix cannot retrieve metafields as expected; API requests return a response showing {size: 0} despite following the official metafields documentation.

Interpretation/Latest update: A responder indicates {size: 0} suggests the request reached Shopify successfully, but the GraphQL query itself is incorrect, leading to an empty result.

Context: Metafields are custom data fields attached to Shopify resources (e.g., products, orders). Remix is a web framework used for building Shopify apps. GraphQL is the query language used by Shopify’s Admin API.

Status: No code samples or error messages were provided, and no fix has been confirmed.

Outcome: Unresolved. The main actionable insight is that the problem likely lies in the GraphQL query (schema/fields/arguments), not in the network call or general API connectivity.

"Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a Remix app and I’m trying to connect with meta-fields using the documentation provided here: [link to documentation]. However, when making the API request, I’m getting a response with {size: 0}. I’ve double-checked my code and followed the documentation, but I’m still facing this issue. Could anyone help me understand why I might be getting this response and how to resolve it? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!"

Sorry, bit late. But that means the call went and received ok, but there’s an error with your graphql.
