Private Shopify API APP in Python

Shopify Apps
1

Hello guys,

is there a problem, when I didn’t use the Shopify Api like this:

  1. First create a new application in either the partners admin or your store admin. For a private App you’ll need the API_KEY and the PASSWORD otherwise you’ll need the API_KEY and SHARED_SECRET.

  2. For a private App you just need to set the base site url as follows:

    python
shop_url = "https://%s:%s@SHOP_NAME.myshopify.com/admin" % (API_KEY, PASSWORD)
shopify.ShopifyResource.set_site(shop_url)

    That’s it you’re done, skip to step 6 and start using the API! For a partner App you will need to supply two parameters to the Session class before you instantiate it:

    python
shopify.Session.setup(api_key=API_KEY, secret=SHARED_SECRET)

  3. Now you’re ready to make authorized API requests to your shop! Data is returned as ActiveResource instances:

    python
shop = shopify.Shop.current

# Get a specific product
product = shopify.Product.find(179761209)

# Create a new product
new_product = shopify.Product()
new_product.title = "Burton Custom Freestyle 151"
new_product.product_type = "Snowboard"
new_product.vendor = "Burton"
success = new_product.save() #returns false if the record is invalid
# or
if new_product.errors:
    #something went wrong, see new_product.errors.full_messages() for example

# Update a product
product.handle = "burton-snowboard"
product.save()

    Alternatively, you can use temp to initialize a Session and execute a command which also handles temporarily setting ActiveResource::Base.site:

    python
with shopify.Session.temp("SHOP_NAME.myshopify.com", token):
   product = shopify.Product.find()

like they write it in the doc?

Now I use the API KEY with requests, like this:

api_endpoint = [email removed]
response = requests.get(api_endpoint)

Is there a problem? Where is the difference?
