Shopify Private Authentication for Private Apps

See more Shopify Examples

Shopify private authentication is for interacting with your own store through private applications. It uses HTTP "Basic" authentication with your Shopify private application key and secret key.

This example demonstrates how to send a private authenticated request using Chilkat Http, and then the same using Chilkat Rest.

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First demonstrate sending a simple request using Shopify private authentication w/ the Chilkat Http API.
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// To use HTTP Basic Authentication with any HTTP request, we simply set the Login, Password, and BasicAuth properties.
// Important: All HTTP requests using Basic authentication must be over SSL/TLS.
http.Login = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY"
http.Password = "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY"
http.BasicAuth = True

// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpNoBody("GET","https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json",resp)

    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Examine the response code.

// Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest
