    No need to rewrite your backend for GraphQL. Our endpoints mirror Shopify REST API with minimal changes.

  • Stable & Future-Proof

    As Shopify evolves their GraphQL schema, we keep your REST interface consistent, preventing breaking changes.

  • Developer Experience

    Minimal setup, fast debugging, and no GraphQL learning curve means you can focus on building great features.

The Process

How GraphiRest Works

GraphiRest acts as a proxy between your app and Shopify's GraphQL Admin API.

1. REST Request In

Your app sends a familiar REST-style request with your Shopify access token.

GET /products/123.json
Host: api.graphirest.io
X-Shopify-Access-Token: your_token_here

2. Translated to GraphQL

GraphiRest dynamically translates your request into the appropriate GraphQL query or mutation.

query {
  product(id: "gid://shopify/Product/123") {
    id
    title
    variants(first: 10) {
      edges {
        node {
          id
          price
          inventoryQuantity
        }
      }
    }
    status
  }
}

3. GraphQL Response from Shopify

Shopify returns the complex GraphQL response with nested data structure.

{
  "data": {
    "product": {
      "id": "gid://shopify/Product/123",
      "title": "Blue T-Shirt",
      "variants": {
        "edges": [
          {
            "node": {
              "id": "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/456",
              "price": "19.99",
              "inventoryQuantity": 42
            }
          }
        ]
      },
      "status": "ACTIVE"
    }
  }
}

4. REST Response Out

GraphQL response is reformatted into a clean REST-style JSON structure that your application expects.

{
  "id": 123,
  "title": "Blue T-Shirt",
  "variants": [
    {
      "id": 456,
      "price": "19.99",
      "inventory_quantity": 42
    }
  ],
  "status": "active"
}

Key Transformations

  • ID Conversion

    GraphQL IDs like "gid://shopify/Product/123" become simple numeric IDs: 123

  • Edge/Node Flattening

    Complex edges/nodes structure becomes a simple array of objects

  • Case Conversion

    camelCase properties (inventoryQuantity) become snake_case (inventory_quantity)

  • Enum Normalization

    GraphQL enums like "ACTIVE" become lowercase strings: "active"
