I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

Zoho Creator / Shopify: Get all Active Products

Zoho Creator / Shopify: Get all Active Products

What?
This is an article to document a function used in Zoho Creator to retrieve the Product IDs of all the active products in a client's Shopify.

Why?
The use-case was that I wanted to search Shopify using a Product SKU. Community forums could only suggest looping through all the products.

I then felt that actually I just need the Product IDs. This method could do with some refinement and perhaps if I find a better way to do this, then I'll put it here. But I like this snippet of code albeit a brute force to loop through every active product and list their IDs.

How?
So here's the function I came up with. It loops through a maximum of 2500 products sorted in order of ID ascending (starting with ID=0) retrieving 250 per call and using since_id to not list the same one twice. It then outputs a JSON list as a response and the total record count:
copyraw 
void API.fn_ShopifyQuery_GetActiveProducts()
{
	m_Header = Map();
	m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json");
	// 
	// your shopify details 
	v_ClientID = "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>";
	v_ClientSecret = "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>";
	v_ShopID = "example.myshopify.com";
	v_ShopifyURL = "https://" + v_ClientID + ":" + v_ClientSecret + "@" + v_ShopID;
	v_ShopifyApiVersion = "2020-01";
	//
	// loop through 2500 records
	v_LastID = 0;
	l_ProductIDs = List();
	l_Pages = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
	for each  v_Page in l_Pages
	{
		v_Endpoint = v_ShopifyURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion.toString() + "/products.json?status=active&limit=250&fields=id&order=id+asc&since_id=" + v_LastID;
		r_GetProducts = invokeurl
		[
			url :v_Endpoint
			type :GET
			headers:m_Header
		];
		for each  r_ShopifyProduct in r_GetProducts.get("products")
		{
			if(!isnull(r_ShopifyProduct.get("id")))
			{
				l_ProductIDs.add(r_ShopifyProduct.get("id"));
			}
		}
		l_ProductIDs.sort();
		v_LastID = l_ProductIDs.get(l_ProductIDs.size() - 1);
	}
	//
	// output
	info "[" + l_ProductIDs + "]";
	info l_ProductIDs.size();
}
  1.  void API.fn_ShopifyQuery_GetActiveProducts() 
  2.  { 
  3.      m_Header = Map(); 
  4.      m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json"); 
  5.      // 
  6.      // your shopify details 
  7.      v_ClientID = "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>"; 
  8.      v_ClientSecret = "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"; 
  9.      v_ShopID = "example.myshopify.com"; 
  10.      v_ShopifyURL = "https://" + v_ClientID + ":" + v_ClientSecret + "@" + v_ShopID; 
  11.      v_ShopifyApiVersion = "2020-01"; 
  12.      // 
  13.      // loop through 2500 records 
  14.      v_LastID = 0; 
  15.      l_ProductIDs = List(); 
  16.      l_Pages = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; 
  17.      for each  v_Page in l_Pages 
  18.      { 
  19.          v_Endpoint = v_ShopifyURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion.toString() + "/products.json?status=active&limit=250&fields=id&order=id+asc&since_id=" + v_LastID; 
  20.          r_GetProducts = invokeurl 
  21.          [ 
  22.              url :v_Endpoint 
  23.              type :GET 
  24.              headers:m_Header 
  25.          ]; 
  26.          for each  r_ShopifyProduct in r_GetProducts.get("products") 
  27.          { 
  28.              if(!isnull(r_ShopifyProduct.get("id"))) 
  29.              { 
  30.                  l_ProductIDs.add(r_ShopifyProduct.get("id")); 
  31.              } 
  32.          } 
  33.          l_ProductIDs.sort(); 
  34.          v_LastID = l_ProductIDs.get(l_ProductIDs.size() - 1); 
  35.      } 
  36.      // 
  37.      // output 
  38.      info "[" + l_ProductIDs + "]"; 
  39.      info l_ProductIDs.size(); 
  40.  } 
Yields something like:
copyraw 
[
  1234567890123,
  2345678901234
]
2
  1.  [ 
  2.    1234567890123, 
  3.    2345678901234 
  4.  ] 
  5.  2 

Well that produces a lot of ID numbers delimited by a comma. However, to match my use-case, I want a list to which I can give it an SKU, and it returns the Shopify Product ID (not of the variant but of the product). In which case, I need to tweak the above function a little to return the Product IDs, the Variant details and then output this to a map:
copyraw 
void API.fn_ShopifyQuery_GetActiveProducts()
{
	m_Header = Map();
	m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json");
	// 
	// your shopify details 
	v_ClientID = "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>";
	v_ClientSecret = "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>";
	v_ShopID = "example.myshopify.com";
	v_ShopifyURL = "https://" + v_ClientID + ":" + v_ClientSecret + "@" + v_ShopID;
	v_ShopifyApiVersion = "2020-01";
	//
	// loop through active products range
	m_Sku_IDs = Map();
	v_LastID = 0;
	l_Pages = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
	for each  v_Page in l_Pages
	{
		v_Endpoint = v_ShopifyURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion.toString() + "/products.json?status=active&limit=250&fields=id,variants&order=id+asc&since_id=" + v_LastID;
		r_GetProducts = invokeurl
		[
			url :v_Endpoint
			type :GET
			headers:m_Header
		];
		for each  r_ShopifyProduct in r_GetProducts.get("products")
		{
			if(!isnull(r_ShopifyProduct.get("id")))
			{
				//
				// an error-prone one-liner so that we don't hit an execution statement limit
				v_ProductSKU = ifnull(r_ShopifyProduct.get("variants").get(0).get("sku"), "UNKNOWN");
				m_Sku_IDs.put(v_ProductSKU, r_ShopifyProduct.get("id"));
				//
				// getting the last ID from the Shopify sort instead of making Zoho sort a list
				v_LastID = r_ShopifyProduct.get("id");
			}
		}
	}
	//
	// output
	info m_Sku_IDs;
	info m_Sku_IDs.size();
}
  1.  void API.fn_ShopifyQuery_GetActiveProducts() 
  2.  { 
  3.      m_Header = Map(); 
  4.      m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json"); 
  5.      //

  10.      v_ShopifyURL = "https://" + v_ClientID + ":" + v_ClientSecret + "@" + v_ShopID; 
  11.      v_ShopifyApiVersion = "2020-01"; 
  12.      // 
  13.      // loop through active products range 
  14.      m_Sku_IDs = Map(); 
  15.      v_LastID = 0; 
  16.      l_Pages = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; 
  17.      for each  v_Page in l_Pages 
  18.      { 
  19.          v_Endpoint = v_ShopifyURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion.toString() + "/products.json?status=active&limit=250&fields=id,variants&order=id+asc&since_id=" + v_LastID; 
  20.          r_GetProducts = invokeurl 
  21.          [ 
  22.              url :v_Endpoint 
  23.              type :GET 
  24.              headers:m_Header 
  25.          ]; 
  26.          for each  r_ShopifyProduct in r_GetProducts.get("products") 
  27.          {

  29.              { 
  30.                  // 
  31.                  // an error-prone one-liner so that we don't hit an execution statement limit 
  32.                  v_ProductSKU = ifnull(r_ShopifyProduct.get("variants").get(0).get("sku"), "UNKNOWN"); 
  33.                  m_Sku_IDs.put(v_ProductSKU, r_ShopifyProduct.get("id")); 
  34.                  // 
  35.                  // getting the last ID from the Shopify sort instead of making Zoho sort a list 
  36.                  v_LastID = r_ShopifyProduct.get("id"); 
  37.              } 
  38.          } 
  39.      } 
  40.      // 
  41.      // output 
  42.      info m_Sku_IDs; 
  43.      info m_Sku_IDs.size(); 
  44.  } 
Yields something like:
copyraw 
{
  "TEST001": 1234567890123,
  "TEST002": 2345678901234
}
2
  1.  { 
  2.    "TEST001": 1234567890123, 
  3.    "TEST002": 2345678901234 
  4.  } 
  5.  2 
Which results in a map that I can give a Product SKU to and it will return the Shopify Product ID to me. You may have noted also the precarious method in retrieving the product variant SKU (this will error/fail over if a product doesn't have a variant) and also how I get Shopify to return the last ID (as it is already sorting by ID) instead of getting Zoho to sort a list and retrieve the last element.

At time of print, I ran this to retrieve 1970 active product IDs and their SKUs without erroring by going over the Zoho Deluge statement execution limit.
