Step 1 : Generate API credentials from the Shopify admin

  • Log in to your Shopify admin
  • Go to Apps – Manage private apps

The Admin API section displays the app’s API key and password when you save the app’s details.

Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace

Create a new request with this URL:

https://{username}:{password}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json

     

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

      1. {password} – The API password that you generated.
