#  This example will use private authentication (which is HTTP Basic authentication)
#  See the other Chilkat Shopify examples for OAuth2 authentication.
#  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.

#  We're going to do a POST  https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-04/graphql.json
#  Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.

#  The body of the request will be:
#     {
#         shop {
#             id
#             name
#             description
#             email
#          }

#  The above query is not JSON.  It looks like JSON, but it's actually not.
#  We'll just make it one line:

query = "{ shop { id name description email } }"

#  My store name is "chilkat".  Use your store name here instead.
