Public API

The library exposes the following public modules:

• ShopifyClient - Main client for making API calls
• types - All type definitions organized by resource (e.g., types::order, types::subscription)
• webhooks - Webhook parsing utilities and types
• Callback Types - BeforeRequestCallback, AfterRequestCallback, RequestCallbacks

use shopify_client::ShopifyClient;                    // Main client
use shopify_client::types::order::*;                  // Order types
use shopify_client::types::subscription::*;           // Subscription types
use shopify_client::webhooks::*;                      // Webhook utilities
use shopify_client::{BeforeRequestCallback, AfterRequestCallback};  // Callback types

Usage

Initialize the Client

use shopify_client::ShopifyClient;

let client = ShopifyClient::new(
    "https://your-shop.myshopify.com".to_string(),
    "your-access-token".to_string(),
    None, // Optional API version, defaults to "2026-01"

Design Philosophy

• Client-Based: Initialize a ShopifyClient once and access services through it
• Clean Public API: Three public modules - ShopifyClient, types, and webhooks
• Encapsulation: All internal implementation (common, services) is private
• Service-Oriented: Each API resource (orders, products, etc.) is its own service module
• Clear Separation: Services for outgoing API calls, webhooks for incoming data parsing
• Type Safety: All API responses are strongly typed with comprehensive models

Data Models

The library provides strongly-typed models organized by resource:

Order Types (types::order)

• Order: Complete order information including customer, line items, fulfillments, pricing, and timestamps
• Customer: Customer details (ID, email, phone, name, addresses)
• LineItem: Product line items with quantities, prices, properties, and fulfillment status
• OrderFulfillment: Fulfillment tracking with tracking numbers, URLs, and shipment status
• Address: Billing and shipping address information
• PriceSet: Multi-currency pricing with shop and presentment money
• Property: Custom line item properties
• PatchOrderRequest / PatchOrder: Request types for updating orders

Subscription Types (types::subscription)

• CreateRecurringSubscriptionRequest: Create recurring app subscriptions
• CreateUsageSubscriptionRequest: Create usage-based subscriptions
• CreateCombinedSubscriptionRequest: Create subscriptions with both recurring and usage pricing
• CreateUsageRecordRequest: Record usage for usage-based subscriptions
• AppPricingInterval: Subscription billing intervals (Every30Days, Annual)
• CreateSubscriptionResp: Subscription creation response with confirmation URL
• ActiveSubscriptionsResp: List of active app subscriptions

Discount Types (types::discount)

• DiscountAutomaticAppInput: Create automatic app discounts
• DiscountAutomaticAppUpdateInput: Update existing automatic app discounts
• DiscountAutomaticAppCreateResp: Discount creation response
• DiscountNodesResp: List discounts with pagination support

App Installation Types (types::app_installation)

• GetCurrentAppInstallationResp: Current app installation details
• MetafieldInput: Input for creating/updating metafields
• SetMetafieldsResp: Metafield operation response
• GetMetafieldResp / ListMetafieldsResp: Metafield retrieval responses

Cart Transform Types (types::cart_transform)

• CartTransformCreateInput: Create cart transformation functions
• CartTransformCreateResp: Cart transform creation response

Shopify Functions Types (types::shopify_functions)

• ShopifyFunctionsResp: List of available Shopify Functions

Webhook Types (webhooks::types)

• CustomersDataRequestPayload: Customer data request webhook payload
• CustomersRedactPayload: Customer redaction webhook payload
• ShopRedactPayload: Shop redaction webhook payload
• WebhookPayload: Enum containing all webhook payload types
• WebhookParseError: Error type for webhook parsing failures
• WebhookCustomer: Customer information in webhook payloads

Error Handling

The library uses a custom APIError enum for comprehensive error handling:

pub enum APIError {
    ServerError { errors: String },
    FailedToParse,
    NetworkError,
}

Errors are returned through Result<T, APIError> for easy error propagation and handling.

Authentication

This client requires a Shopify Admin API access token. You can obtain one by:

1. Creating a custom app in your Shopify admin panel
2. Generating an Admin API access token
3. Granting the necessary permissions (e.g., read_orders, write_orders)

Request Callbacks

The library supports optional before/after request callbacks for logging, monitoring, and observability:

use shopify_client::ShopifyClient;
use std::sync::Arc;

let before = Arc::new(|url: &str, body: Option<&str>, headers: &reqwest::header::HeaderMap| {
    println!("Making request to: {}", url);
    if let Some(body) = body {
        println!("Request body: {}", body);
    }
});

let after = Arc::new(|url: &str, response_body: &str, headers: &reqwest::header::HeaderMap| {
    println!("Received response from: {}", url);
    println!("Response size: {} bytes", response_body.len());
});

let client = ShopifyClient::new_with_callbacks(
    "https://your-shop.myshopify.com".to_string(),
    "your-access-token".to_string(),
    None,
    Some(before),
    Some(after),
);

Features:

• Callbacks are synchronous closures that fire before and after every request
• Access token is NOT passed to callbacks for security
• Callbacks use panic catching to prevent user errors from crashing requests
• Works for both REST and GraphQL requests
• Optional - use new() for no callbacks, new_with_callbacks() for callbacks

API Version

Currently uses Shopify Admin API version 2026-01.

Requirements

• Rust 1.56 or later (2021 edition)
• Dependencies:
  • reqwest (with JSON support)
  • serde (with derive feature)
  • serde_json
