2019-10 release notes

Release date	Date version is no longer supported
October 1, 2019	October 1, 2020

The 2019-10 release continues to focus on improving performance by completing the transition to cursor-based pagination. You can now use cursor-based pagination across the remaining endpoints. With the GraphQL Admin API, you can now perform bulk operations to fetch large amounts of data in a single request, letting Shopify handle pagination for you.

This release also solidifies many features we showcased at Unite 2019. Private metafields and translations are available for general use with the GraphQL Admin API, and delivery profiles have received a few updates. We've also added support for 3D Secure transactions to the REST Admin API and Storefront API.

What's new in 2019-10

Below are some of the highlights of new features in version 2019-10 of Shopify's APIs:

• Page-based pagination has been replaced by cursor-based pagination across the remaining REST endpoints
• Perform bulk operations by using the GraphQL Admin API
• Manage translated content for resources by using the GraphQL Admin API
• Store private data about Shopify resources in private metafields using the GraphQL Admin API
• Create checkouts that include 3D secure by using the REST Admin API or the Storefront API

Breaking changes

These changes require special attention. If your app uses these API resources, and you don’t adjust your usage of the resources according to the following instructions, then your app might break when you update to this API version.

Pagination

Page-based pagination has been removed on all remaining REST endpoints, and has been replaced with cursor-based pagination.

To migrate, see our tutorial on cursor-based pagination.

For operations that need to fetch large amounts of data, use the GraphQL Admin API to perform bulk operations rather than paginating through resources.

Delivery Profiles

The activatedCarrierServices field isn't compatible with multiple origin shipping, and has been removed.

Use the availableCarrierServices field instead. It includes both the carrier service and applicable countries.

Inventory

Deprecation for legacy inventory behavior is now extended to all apps. To learn more, refer to Migrating to support multiple locations.

Developer preview

There are no new Shopify admin features for the API changes in version 2019-10, and no developer preview. Use a development store for your development environments.

To use the new API features, call the 2019-10 version of the API.
