An API call returns 250 products and all of their variants. In the standard plan, we have 2 API calls per second, equating to 500 products and all of their variants.
Can you compare this with GraphQL? With a corresponding 100 points/second, how many products and variants can you get per second?
According to this documentation https://shopify.engineering/rate-limiting-graphql-apis-calculating-query-complexity, each object costs 1 point. However, when I look at the actual values, the computation methods seem different for the product resource. Could you explain the new cost calculation method?
“Running a query is the best way to find out its true cost” isn’t a good explanation for people developing applications.
