Using the API endpoints

Shopify App proxy

Online store must not have the password page enable when calling the app proxy

The DotApparel app itself is hosted in a serverless environment on Google Cloud. Each time the frontend needs to make an API request to the app to retrieve data, it will call a designated API endpoint for that type of data.

Rather than making direct requests to the Google Cloud endpoints, we strongly recommend using the Shopify App proxy. Using the app proxy means that if your Shopify store is hosted on http://acme.myshopify.com , you would make a request to the following endpoint.

• https://acme.myshopify.com/apps/dotapparel/[endpoint]

• [Deprecated] https://acme.myshopify.com/apps/dotapparel21/[endpoint]

Using the app proxy means that the browser is only making requests to the current domain, which negates the need to handle CORS and other cross-origin concerns.

When the DotApparel app is installed into your store, the API endpoints listed in this guide will always be available at /apps/dotapparel. The remainder of this guide will use the above http://acme.myshopify.com domain as an example.

Usage

Each of the API endpoints is documented in the specific section. For example, if you’re looking to access in-store orders, see retail transactions.
