Hi, I am developing a mobile APP in Angular Js using storefront API. I want to create a simple search field where customer can enter the barcode of the product and it returns product details like product price description etc. The physical store has thousands of products and this simple mobile app…

While you cannot query on the barcode over the storefront API, you can use the Admin GraphQL API’s query argument to search on bar code. https://help.shopify.com/en/api/graphql-admin-api/reference/queryroot I’m not sure why you can’t do this via the storefront API seeing how that property of the pr…

Hi Alex The problem is querying the shopify data publically through an external app. Doing this via admin api gives CORS error as the origin of the request isn’t similar to the shopify. Also it is insecure. So can you point me in the right direction regarding external apps. Thanks

While using the admin API directly via the client would be insecure, you could delegate to your backend to make the requests with client-side javascript. The response from your backend can be the forwarded response from the admin API. Would that work better for you? Cheers.

I’m not sure why you can’t do this via the storefront API seeing how that property of the product is surfaced there, so I’ll talk to some teams about perhaps implementing that improvement if it makes sense. Hi @Alex any update on this by chance? It seems VERY strange to me that querying orders.js…

Is there any plan to add the barcode attribute to the record? I think it belongs together and would make the work a bit easier

I believe you are correct from my understanding of reading all the documentation (APIs are something I’m only mildly familiar with). The issue for us though is that one of our logistics suppliers is using REST and for the moment aren’t able to switch to GraphQL. I know there are a few 3rd-party inte…

Agreed. The different API types should all match up in terms of what’s exposed, what’s accessible, etc. Otherwise it’s a guessing game to a degree. While I found the REST API to be better documented with examples and whatnot, I moved over to the GraphQL API when I found gaps that only it could fill.…
