Hey EveryOne,
I want to understand difference W between storefront api vs admin apis .
StoreFront Api are used by the merchant build the store and customize his operations on the store (like creating products,orders, customers etc)
Admin api’s are basically for the partners to access the data of the store on which apps are installed and provide the additional functionality on top of the store
Is my understanding correct?
Yes, your understanding is generally correct. The Storefront API is primarily used by merchants to build their storefront and create custom experiences for their customers. This API allows merchants to access and modify data related to products, collections, customers, and orders on the storefront.
On the other hand, the Admin API is primarily used by partners to access and modify data on the merchant’s store. This API allows partners to create apps that add functionality to the merchant’s store, such as inventory management or marketing tools. The Admin API provides access to a broader range of data compared to the Storefront API, including data related to payments, shipping, and taxes.
In summary, the Storefront API is used by merchants to build their storefront and create custom experiences, while the Admin API is used by partners to access and modify data on the merchant’s store for the purpose of creating apps and adding functionality.
