Welcome to the "Get Orders using Shopify API" template. This template is designed to help you build an application that retrieves orders from a Shopify store using the Shopify API. The application is built with Python and FastAPI, and it's perfect for those who want to integrate Shopify order retrieval into their software without worrying about the complexities of API calls and server deployment.
To begin using this template, simply click on "Start with this Template" on the Lazy platform. This will pre-populate the code in the Lazy Builder interface, so you won't need to copy, paste, or delete any code manually.
Before you can test and use the application, you need to set up a couple of environment secrets within the Lazy Builder. These secrets are necessary for the app to authenticate requests to the Shopify API.
You will need to set up the following environment secrets:
To obtain these values:
Once you have these values, enter them into the Environment Secrets tab within the Lazy Builder.
After setting up the environment secrets, press the "Test" button to deploy the app. The Lazy platform will handle the deployment, and you won't need to install any libraries or set up your environment.
Once the app is deployed, you will be provided with a dedicated server link to interact with the API. Additionally, since this app uses FastAPI, you will also receive a link to the API documentation, which will allow you to explore the available endpoints and their usage.
To retrieve orders from your Shopify store, you can use the provided server link to send a GET request to the "/orders" endpoint. Here's a sample request:
GET /orders
Host: [Your Server Link]
A sample response might look like this:
{
"orders": [
{
"id": 123456789,
"email": "customer@example.com",
"closed_at": null,
"created_at": "2023-01-01T10:00:00-05:00",
"updated_at": "2023-01-01T10:00:00-05:00",
// More order details...
}
// More orders...
]
}
If you wish to integrate this app into an external service or frontend, you can use the server link provided by Lazy to make API calls from your external tool. Ensure that you handle the authentication properly by including the necessary headers with your requests.
For example, if you're integrating with a frontend application, you might make an AJAX call to the server link to retrieve orders and display them on your webpage.
Remember to replace [Your Server Link] with the actual link provided by Lazy when making requests.
By following these steps, you should now have a functional application that retrieves orders from your Shopify store using the Shopify API, all set up and ready to go on the Lazy platform.
