  The Shopify Admin API provides programmatic access to manage Shopify store
  administration. It enables app developers and merchants to manage products,
  customers, orders, inventory, shipping, fulfillment, collections, webhooks,
  and store settings. The Admin API is available in both REST and GraphQL
  formats. Shopify is transitioning from REST to GraphQL as the primary API,
  with GraphQL recommended for all new development.

    description: >-
      The Shopify Admin REST API lets you build apps and integrations that
      extend and enhance the Shopify admin. It provides access to products,
      customers, orders, inventory, fulfillment, shipping, and store
      configuration. All requests require a valid Shopify access token
      generated through OAuth. Note: Shopify is deprecating the REST Admin API
      in favor of GraphQL; new development should use the GraphQL Admin API.

    description: >-
      The Shopify Admin GraphQL API is the recommended API for building Shopify
      apps and integrations. It provides access to all Shopify admin resources
      including products, customers, orders, inventory, fulfillment, and
      analytics. GraphQL enables efficient data fetching with precise field
      selection, real-time subscriptions, and access to advanced platform
      features not available in REST.

    description: >-
      Shopify webhooks allow apps to subscribe to specific events that occur in
      a store. When an event occurs, Shopify sends an HTTP POST request with
      a JSON payload to the configured endpoint. Webhooks can be configured for
      events across all major Shopify resources including orders, products,
      customers, inventory, fulfillment, and app-specific events.
