Plugin configurationOverview #
The CloudQuery Shopify plugin pulls data from Shopify and loads it into any supported CloudQuery destination (e.g. PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and more).
Authentication #
In order to fetch information from Shopify,
cloudquery
needs to be authenticated. Either an API key and password (in the case of basic custom/private apps) or an access token (for OAuth apps) is required for authentication.Refer to the Shopify Help Center article on Custom apps and create a custom app. Follow Get the API credentials for a custom app section to get the credentials for Admin API and put them in your plugin configuration as
api_key
and api_secret
.If you have a large or busy store, API key/secret type credentials might not be enough due to the heavy rate limiting. In this case, you can use OAuth in your custom app to get an access token which allow many more requests a second. To use that token in your plugin configuration instead, just set it in
access_token
and remove api_key
and api_secret
sections. For more information, refer to Shopify.dev on the subject.Incremental Syncing #
The Shopify plugin supports incremental syncing. This means that only new data will be fetched from Shopify and loaded into your destination for supported tables (support depending on API endpoint). This is done by keeping track of the last item fetched and only fetching data that has been created since then.
To enable this,
backend_options
must be set in the spec (as shown below). This is documented in the Managing Incremental Tables section.Example Configuration #
This example syncs from Shopify to a Postgres destination. The (top level) source spec section is described in the Source Spec Reference. Incremental syncing is enabled and will be saved to a
cq_state_shopify
table by default.kind: source
# Common source-plugin configuration
