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 = 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 ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("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 ChilkatHttpResponse
resp.Initialize
success = http.HttpNoBody("GET", "https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json", resp)
If success = False Then
    Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Examine the response code.
If resp.StatusCode <> 200 Then
    Log("Received error response code: " & resp.StatusCode)
    Log("Response body:")
    Log(resp.BodyStr)
    Return
End If


'  Success.
Log("Success.")

'  Examine the JSON response 
Dim sbJson As ChilkatStringBuilder
sbJson.Initialize
resp.GetBodySb(sbJson)
Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize
json.LoadSb(sbJson)
json.EmitCompact = False
Log(json.Emit)

'  -------------------------------------------------
'  Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
Dim rest As ChilkatRest
rest.Initialize("rest")

'  Provide the private app credentials:
rest.SetAuthBasic("SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY", "SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY")

'  Connect to the shopify server.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim port As Int = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
'  Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.myshopify.com", port, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
If success = False Then
    Log(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


sbJson.Clear
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET", "/admin/products.json", sbJson)
If rest.LastMethodSuccess = False Then
    Log(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


If rest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200 Then
    Log("Received error response code: " & rest.ResponseStatusCode)
    Log("Response body:")
    Log(sbJson.GetAsString)
    Return
End If


'  Success...
json.LoadSb(sbJson)
Log(json.Emit)
