Shopify API Chrome extension: run GraphQL queries in the browser
A Chrome extension for running queries against the Shopify Admin GraphQL API, using the admin session you are already logged in with
The Problem
As a Shopify developer, I’ve lost count of the times I’ve needed to run just a couple of quick queries, to check something, fix something, or whatever. And honestly, it’s always a tedious process.
You’re stuck either installing a custom app just to get a token to query the API (which can take a good 10 minutes with all the scope setup) or installing the GraphiQL app on the store (which also requires app install permissions and scope setup).
So I finally built a GraphQL client that runs in the browser. It uses the admin session you are already logged in with, so none of that setup is needed.
What the extension does
- Calls the Shopify API for any store you have access to, straight from the browser.
- Has the full Shopify GraphQL schema as documentation inside the extension.
- Validates the query against the schema as you type, so you see errors right away.
- Keeps history and favorites so you can run the same queries again.
