Shopify's modern typed API for admin operations.
The GraphQL Admin API is the current generation of Shopify's programmatic surface. Compared to REST, it returns exactly the fields you request, batches related operations in a single round-trip, exposes newer capabilities (metaobjects, bulk operations, subscriptions) and uses a cost-based rate limit that rewards efficient queries. New apps should default to GraphQL; REST endpoints continue to work but no longer receive new features.
