Hey I had a question in regards to these services I see popping up online such as copyfy.io and unispy.
which api routes would they be using to pull sales analytics of other stores and such?
thank you

Have you checked ut the reporting API?
https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-04/resources/report
The Shopify API only allows you to pull data for your own store. Anyone that is getting data on other stores is doing web scraping or guessing.
Assuming you meant “other stores” as in data from merchant stores you don’t own, then you should consider the oAuth process for Shopify Apps. This is a slightly more complex solution, however, this will ensure you are following the Shopify policy for using merchant data

Depending on the type of analytics you need, and your access to data you can also create your own analytics with a combination of webhooks and the admin API.
