Shopify authentication

This connector is optimized for AI agents. For the data replication connector, see Shopify.

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Shopify agent connector.

Hosted mode (most cases)

In hosted mode, create the connector through the Airbyte Agent CLI or API, then execute operations using the CLI, Python SDK, or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the developer quickstart.

OAuth

Use the CLI for hosted OAuth connector creation when possible. It opens the hosted setup flow and avoids passing connector secrets through the command line:

airbyte-agent login
airbyte-agent connectors create --json '{
  "workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
  "name": "shopify"
}'

For API-first use cases, create a connector with OAuth credentials directly.

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
client_id	str	No	Your Shopify OAuth2 application client ID
client_secret	str	No	Your Shopify OAuth2 application client secret
access_token	str	Yes	Your Shopify OAuth2 access token

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "workspace_name": "<WORKSPACE_NAME>",
    "connector_type": "Shopify",
    "name": "My Shopify Connector",
    "credentials": {
      "client_id": "<Your Shopify OAuth2 application client ID>",
      "client_secret": "<Your Shopify OAuth2 application client secret>",
      "access_token": "<Your Shopify OAuth2 access token>"
    }
  }'

Token

Create a connector with Token credentials.

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
api_key	str	Yes	Your Shopify Admin API access token

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "workspace_name": "<WORKSPACE_NAME>",
    "connector_type": "Shopify",
    "name": "My Shopify Connector",
    "credentials": {
      "api_key": "<Your Shopify Admin API access token>"
    }
  }'

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using the CLI, Python SDK, or API. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, set the default organization with airbyte-agent organizations use, include organization_id in AirbyteAuthConfig, or include X-Organization-Id in raw API calls.

CLI

Authenticate with Airbyte:

airbyte-agent login

Create the connector. The CLI opens the hosted setup flow:

airbyte-agent connectors create --json '{
  "workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
  "name": "shopify"
}'

Describe the connector to see its supported entities and actions:

airbyte-agent connectors describe --json '{
  "workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
  "name": "shopify"
}'

Execute an action:

airbyte-agent connectors execute --json '{
  "workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
  "name": "shopify",
  "entity": "<entity>",
  "action": "<action>",
  "params": {}
}'

Python SDK

The connect() factory returns a fully typed ShopifyConnector and reads AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID / AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET from the environment:

Open source mode

In open source mode, provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
client_id	str	No	Your Shopify OAuth2 application client ID
client_secret	str	No	Your Shopify OAuth2 application client secret
access_token	str	Yes	Your Shopify OAuth2 access token

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.shopify import ShopifyConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.shopify.models import ShopifyOauth2AuthConfig

connector = ShopifyConnector(
    auth_config=ShopifyOauth2AuthConfig(
        client_id="<Your Shopify OAuth2 application client ID>",
        client_secret="<Your Shopify OAuth2 application client secret>",
        access_token="<Your Shopify OAuth2 access token>"
    )
)

Token

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
api_key	str	Yes	Your Shopify Admin API access token

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.shopify import ShopifyConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.shopify.models import ShopifyAccessTokenAuthenticationAuthConfig

connector = ShopifyConnector(
    auth_config=ShopifyAccessTokenAuthenticationAuthConfig(
        api_key="<Your Shopify Admin API access token>"
    )
)

Configuration

The Shopify connector also needs these configuration values to construct the base API URL.

• Hosted CLI: airbyte-agent connectors create doesn't currently accept these configuration fields directly. For hosted connectors that need these values, create the connector with the hosted API replication_config, then use the CLI for describe and execute operations after creation.
• Hosted API: pass these values in the connector creation replication_config.
• Open source mode: provide these values with your local connector setup so the connector can build the correct API base URL.

Variable	Type	Required	Default	Description
shop	string	Yes	my-store	Your Shopify store name (e.g., 'my-store' from my-store.myshopify.com)
