What is the Shopify API?

The Shopify API is a set of web services that allows developers to integrate, manage, and extend the functionality of Shopify stores. It enables programmatic access to store data, such as products, orders, customers, and inventory, making it possible to build custom apps, automate processes, and connect with third-party services. The API supports both REST and GraphQL endpoints, giving developers flexibility in how they interact with Shopify's platform.
