Table of Contents

In Shopify API, you can easily retrieve a list of orders using Postman to manage its information. With Shopify API, you can retrieve orders with many options, such as retrieving all orders, specific orders, and orders that have authorized payments ready to be captured,… But in this video, Beehexa will show you how to retrieve orders last updated after the time you choose in the EDT time zone. This call will clearly show all information about orders updated after 06th March 2022 from 1:00 to 23:00 in the EDT time zone.

Let’s dive into the article!

Step 1: Generate API Credentials From Shopify Admin

If this is the first time you make a call in the Postman, you must generate API credentials from the Shopify admin. Follow the process of How to build a custom app for Shopify in 2022? To know how to access Shopify API. 

     

      • After creating an app, you must assign “Orders” scopes to the admin API scopes. 

    • Remember the Admin API access token and the API key to retrieve a list of orders in the Postman. 

    Step 2: Retrieve A List Of Orders Using Postman In The EDT Time Zone

    After generating API credentials from the Shopify Admin, we will retrieve a list of orders last updated after 06th March 2022 from 1:00 to 23:00 in the EDT time zone using Postman. 

       

        • Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace

        • Create a new GET with this URL:

      https://{API_key}:{admin_API_access_token}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}

         

          1. {API_key} – The API key that you generated.

          1. {admin_API_access_token} – The admin API access token that you generated.

          1. {shop} – The name of your development store.

          1. {api-version} – The supported API version that you want to use.

          1. {resource} – A resource endpoint from the REST Admin API.

        Or you can copy this example in the Shopify Admin, remember to change {resource} to {orders.json?updated_at_min=YY-MM-DDTtimeframe}:

        Note: [updated_at_min=2022-03-06T01:00:00-23:00] = The zone time you want to retrieve the list of orders. The information is respectively [{YY-MM-DD}T{Time frame}].
