Where is access token to be used by node @shopify/admin-api-client

[JackJack1]

I am trying to develop an app that queries the stores which installed my app. I will basically request the orders for the last week.

@Shopify_77 /admin-api-client seems to be the way to go on the nodejs. However, I cannot find where my access token is? It is really frustrating as the documentation is very limited on details. I have client ID and secret but I cannot see the panel that reveals the access code. I developed my app using the cli by choosing remix. Could you provide a pointer please?

Thanks

Hi Jack,

You’ll need to use the client ID and client secret to exchange a session token for an access token, in an API call to [https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/access_token.](https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/access_token`.)

There’s an example of this in our developer docs here.

Hi Liam,

May I kindly ask clarity about the below?

Do I have to acquire accessToken to be able to use shopify-api for node? If so, do I have to create an oauth approval at nodejs? This is for an embedded public app…

If I have to use the exchange instead, could you please let me know what subject_token and subject_token_type are?

Many thanks

I have similar issue. And found this yt tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gk_RUu-RDs. I know it’s been quite some time, but maybe it will help someone.

For all those who want to integrate the Admin API into their Hydrogen storefront:

I still wasted almost 2 days trying to generate an access token with the mentioned POST request.

However, this is not necessary because you can simply generate the token with a new app. (See screenshot)
