Connecting to Shopify API with Apps Script

I am working on connecting to the Shopify API however the way it is structured for access is apikey:[email protected]

Apps script however will not allow you to use a URL with the login credentials for the UrlFetchApp.fetch function 12345:[email protected] and I seem unable to pass the information through successfully via the basic headers.

function shopify_connect() {

  var url = "https://storename.myshopify.com/admin/products.json/GET";
  var apikey = '12345';
  var password = '67890';

  var headers = {
    "User-Agent" :"[email protected]",
    "Authentication" : 'Basic ' + Utilities.base64Encode(apikey + ':' + password)
  }

  var options = {
    "headers": headers,
  }

 var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}

When I log the output from response, it appears that I am getting to the login HTML however never passing beyond that.

Any help in clarifying this access method would be greatly appreciated.

So after working with it further, taking another look at the example Cooper referenced, I was able to get the connection to process correctly.

Here is the code in the event that someone else has the same issue in the future:

function shopify_connection_test() {
  var api_key = '<enter api key here';
  var api_pass = '<enter api password here>';
  var store_url = 'https://storename.myshopify.com/admin/products.json';

  var product = {
  "product": {
    "title": "Burton Custom Freestyle 151",
    "body_html": "<strong>Good snowboard!</strong>",
    "vendor": "Burton",
    "product_type": "Snowboard",
    "tags": "Barnes & Noble, John's Fav, &quot;Big Air&quot;"
  }
}
  var payload = JSON.stringify(product);

  var headers = {
    "Content-Type" : "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode(api_key + ":" + api_pass)
  };

  var params = {
    "method" : "POST",
    "headers" : headers,
    "contentType" : "application/json",
    "payload" : payload
  }

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(store_url, params)
  Logger.log(response.getContentText())
}

This specifically uploads a product, I didn't want to exclude any information. The references in the Shopify API documentation should be enough for anyone looking to change its overall functionality.

I had a similar problem where Shopify would return a (401) unauthorized {“errors”:”[API] Invalid API key or access token (unrecognized login or wrong password)”} when using UrlFetchApp on GAS, even though the request was working perfectly with Postman.

Runeworks Gaming solution worked, the trick is to pass the authorization into a “headers” object, nested in the “params” of the url fetch app.

I have used UrlFetchApp on many other occasions by putting the “Authorization” header directly into the params, but apparently, this won’t work with Shopify.

Working:
```
var SHOP_ID = "Your shop ID";
var API_KEY = "Your API key";
var API_PASSWORD = "Your API password";

var encoded = Utilities.base64Encode(API_KEY + ':' + API_PASSWORD);

var headers = {
    "Content-Type" : "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Basic " + encoded
  };

  var options = {
    "contentType" : "application/json",
    'method' : 'GET',
    'headers' : headers, // This is the important part
    'followRedirects' : false,
  };

var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://" + SHOP_ID  + ".myshopify.com/admin/api/2019-04/orders.json?status=any",options);

var RESPONSE_CODE = response.getResponseCode();
var CONTENT_JSON = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
```
