Questions About The Order Interface /Admin/Api/2023-10/Orders.Json?Status=Any

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A developer is working with Shopify’s Orders API endpoint (/admin/api/2023-10/orders.json?status=any) and has encountered two main issues:

Missing Product Images:

  • The order response returns product data but excludes image information
  • To obtain product images, a separate API call to /admin/api/2023-10/products/{product_id}/images.json is required
  • This creates additional API requests for each product in an order

Rate Limit Concerns:

  • Shopify’s API has a limit of 40 calls per minute
  • The developer is seeking strategies to avoid hitting rate limits when fetching product images for multiple orders
  • No solutions have been provided yet in the thread

The discussion remains open with the developer requesting help from the community on handling these API limitations efficiently.

In the return value of obtaining the store order interface, there is no image data related to the order product. An example of the product return value for the order I received : array(1) { [0]=> array(20) { [“fulfillable_quantity”]=> int(1) [“fulfillment_service”]=> string(6) “manual” [“fulfillment_status”]=> NULL [“grams”]=> int(0) [“id”]=> int(14262451863860) [“price”]=> string(6) “600.00” [“product_id”]=> int(8337101881652) [“quantity”]=> int(1) [“requires_shipping”]=> bool(true) [“sku”]=> string(0) “” [“title”]=> string(34) “The Collection Snowboard: Hydrogen” [“variant_id”]=> int(45351939998004) [“variant_title”]=> NULL [“vendor”]=> string(15) “Hydrogen Vendor” [“name”]=> string(34) “The Collection Snowboard: Hydrogen” [“gift_card”]=> bool(false) [“properties”]=> array(0) { } [“taxable”]=> bool(true) [“tax_lines”]=> array(0) { } [“total_discount”]=> string(4) “0.00” } } There are no images in this result set, so you need to obtain the corresponding images of the product through the interface/admin/api/2023-10/products/632910392/images/850703190.json, But the official interface has a limit of 40 calls per minute, so how can we avoid situations where there are too many requests based on this situation？？？
