Is there any graphql equivalent for this rest api
/products/count.json?collection_id=11616416461
Topic summary
Live text AMA held Oct 22 (11am–1pm ET) focused on the new GraphQL Product APIs (supporting up to 2,000 variants) and related REST deprecations, with links to docs, FAQ, and rules.
Key updates and decisions:
- Publishing permission backfill: Submit the Publishing Permission Request form to backfill read_publications/write_publications for existing installs. Backfills run weekly (Fridays, except Dec 27) until Feb 1, 2025, and require existing read_products/write_products scopes and updated scopes for new installs.
- Mutations: productCreate/productUpdate/productSet aren’t being deprecated; some fields are. Use productCreate/productUpdate + variant mutations for real-time; use productSet for syncing.
- Webhooks: Currently REST-shaped; Shopify is considering a path forward for GraphQL consistency. No specific plans yet; feature request captured.
- Channels: You can recreate a product feed via the products query using publishable_status filtering.
- BulkOperations: Nested connections preserve response order; contact support if out-of-order is observed.
Open/ongoing issues raised:
- 10,000 product query cap; need limiting in BulkOperations; whether GraphQL is required for Built for Shopify.
- read_inventory backfill and access to moved variant fields.
- Ajax Product API pagination beyond 100 variants.
- MediaImage vs ProductImage migration and duplicate handling.
- Contextual pricing performance/permissions and REST vs GraphQL price inconsistencies.
- Webhook format options and topics for variants/options/images; media image edit events.
- Shorter signed URL expiry for BulkOperations.
- Adoption and distribution stats for >100 variants.
- Non‑ASCII handles updates.
- Barcode query delays/stale results.
Status: AMA closed; Shopify will continue answering submitted questions; many items remain under review or pending responses.
