(CkPython) Shopify Private Authentication for Private Apps

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.

Chilkat Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat or download... Python Module for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

import sys
import chilkat

# 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.
http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# 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.put_Login("SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY")
http.put_Password("SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY")
http.put_BasicAuth(True)

# Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.QuickGetObj("https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Examine the response code.
if (resp.get_StatusCode() != 200):
    print("Received error response code: " + str(resp.get_StatusCode()))
    print("Response body:")
    print(resp.bodyStr())

    sys.exit()

# Success.
print("Success.")

# Examine the JSON response 
sbJson = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
resp.GetBodySb(sbJson)

json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.LoadSb(sbJson)
json.put_EmitCompact(False)
print(json.emit())

# -------------------------------------------------
# Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
rest = chilkat.CkRest()

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

# Connect to the shopify server.
bTls = True
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = True
# Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.myshopify.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

sbJson.Clear()
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET","/admin/products.json",sbJson)
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

if (rest.get_ResponseStatusCode() != 200):
    print("Received error response code: " + str(rest.get_ResponseStatusCode()))
    print("Response body:")
    print(sbJson.getAsString())
    sys.exit()

# Success...
json.LoadSb(sbJson)
print(json.emit())
