[Shreyadeshmukh]

I am working on a Shopify React Native app. I am trying to create a new customer with my app. It is working fine on Postman but not working with my app.
app.
I have also setup my private app on shopify and get all the required credentials from there.

I am posting my code here.



let requestdata =
{
method: 'POST',
headers:
{
'Authorization':'Basic ' + base64.encode('apikey' + ":" +
'password'),
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',

},

body: JSON.stringify({
"customer": {
"first_name": "test",
"last_name": "user",
"email": "testuser@example.com",
"phone": "+15154346011",
"verified_email": true,
"addresses": [
{
"address1": "123 Oak St",
"city": "Ottawa",
"province": "ON",
"phone": "+15154346011",
"zip": "123 ABC",
"last_name": "user",
"first_name": "test",
"country": "CA"
}
]
}}),

};

fetch('https://apikey:password@domainname/admin/api/2020-
04/customers.json', requestdata)
.then(res => {

console.log("resoponse",JSON.stringify(res))

this.setState({

})


}).catch((err)=>{
console.log(err)
})

Hi there @Shreyadeshmukh!

Don here from Shopify.

I just wanted to let you know I had moved your topic here to the API forums as this is the best place to look for advice on these types of queries.

Though we're not able to provide API support ourselves here, these forums are moderated by our developer team and responded to by our developers and Partners.

Hopefully, the community will have some experience to draw upon to share with you here.

All the best!

Regards,

Don

Hi @Don ,
Thank you for forwarding my question to the API forum.

Waiting for any positive response

Have you tried it with using domainname.myshopify.com/admin... instead of apikey:password@domainname/admin... ? You are already authorizing with your credentials via the header.

But you might still run into a CORS error when you try to access Shopify API like this. If so, you will need to make a request to run your Shopify API code on the server side and then pass the result to the client side: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/Using-APIs-from-a-different-origin-domain/td-p/502...

You might also be running into a cookies issue where it's directing you to a login page (Google and you'll see this is a common issue).

Hey @Shreyadeshmukh 

First things to rule out:

• Replace Authorization header with:

'X-Shopify-Access-Token': password

• As @policenauts1 suggested, remove 'apikey:password@' from the fetch URL
  
  

Let me know how you go.

@policenauts1  Thank you for your response.

I was directly calling create customer api from my react native app(Frontend), I followed your suggestion and it worked for me, now i am calling create customer app using node js .

Thanks once again.
