About REST to GraphQL migration
The REST Admin API is a legacy API as of October 1, 2024. All apps and integrations should be built with the GraphQL Admin API. Read on to learn how to migrate from the REST Admin API to the GraphQL Admin API.
GraphQL is Shopify's technology of choice for building APIs. GraphQL addresses several problems that might sound familiar to anyone who’s worked with a REST API.
You can migrate your apps to use the GraphQL Admin API instead of the REST Admin API to take advantage of some of the benefits of GraphQL.
This section includes guides and resources to help you with the migration process.
