Shopify Connector for Talend Studio Shopify Connector can be used to integrate Shopify REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Customers, Orders, OrderItems, Products and more. In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Shopify data in Talend Studio without coding. We will use high-performance Shopify Connector to easily connect to Shopify and then access the data inside Talend Studio. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation Shopify Connector for Talend Studio is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Create Data Source in ZappySys Data Gateway based on API Driver

1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

2. Search for gateway in start menu and Open ZappySys Data Gateway:
   

3. Go to Users Tab to add our first Gateway user. Click Add; we will give it a name tdsuser and enter password you like to give. Check Admin option and click OK to save. We will use these details later when we create linked server:
   

4. Now we are ready to add a data source. Click Add, give data source a name (Copy this name somewhere, we will need it later) and then select Native - ZappySys API Driver. Finally, click OK. And it will create the Data Set for it and open the ZS driver UI.

   ShopifyDSN

   
   

5. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Shopify" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Shopify" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

6. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

    Access Token [Http]

   Steps how to get and use Shopify credentials : Access Token [Http]
   Setting up your Shopify store account for API access involves creating an "app" for your store. The "app" is installed into the Shopify account and configured with the appropriate access levels for your data integration needs.

   1. Visit https://accounts.shopify.com and log into your Shopify store account.
   2. After logging in, select the store to connect to with the ZappySys Shopify Connector.
   3. Select the Settings link (usually in the lower-left corner) to launch the Settings screen.
   4. On the left menu panel, select Apps and sales channels.
   5. On the Apps and sales channels screen, select Develop apps (near the top of the screen).
   6. On the App development screen, select Create an app (near the upper-right corner of the screen).
   7. Give the app that will be used to provide Shopify API access a name, select the appropriate developer from the App developer drop-down, and then select Create app.
   8. Select Configure Admin API scopes and the Admin API access scopes screen will appear.
   9. In the Admin API access scopes screen, select every access scope checkbox that applies to your integration needs. It is generally not a good idea to allow more access than what is needed in order to fulfill your integration needs.
      • To enable the reading of customer information, select read_customers.
      • To enable the writing of customer information, select write_customers.
      • To enable the reading of inventory item information, select read_inventory.
      • To enable the writing of inventory item information, select write_inventory.
      • To enable the reading of order information, select read_orders.
      • To enable the writing of order information, select write_orders.
      After selecting all applicable access scopes, select Save.
   10. Install the app by selecting the Install app button (near the upper-right corner of the screen). If any other prompts for installation appears, select Install.
   11. After the app is installed, the Admin API access token will be available in the API credentials tab of the page. It can only be revealed ONCE for security purposes. Select Reveal token once to show the new Admin API access token. SAVE THE ADMIN API ACCESS TOKEN IN A SAFE PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE IT CONFIDENTIAL, SECURE, AND NOT ACCESSIBLE TO UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUALS. The Admin API access token will be needed in this process later.
   12. In the ZappySys connector API screen, enter the subdomain of your Shopify store into the Subdomain parameter textbox. For example, if your Shopify URL is https://acmetoys.myshopify.com, the subdomain would be acmetoys.
   13. In the same screen, enter the Admin API access token saved from step 11 above into the Admin API Access Token textbox. In order to edit the text in this field, select the ellipses (...) button that appears when the textbox is clicked and edit the access token with the dialog box that appears.
   14. Select the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window to verify proper connectivity with the Shopify store.
   15. If the connection test succeeds, select OK.

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   ShopifyDSN

   Shopify

   Access Token [Http]

   https://[$Subdomain$].myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-01

   Required Parameters
   Sub-domain	Fill-in the parameter...
   Admin API Access Token	Fill-in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters
   RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
   RetryStatusCodeList	429
   RetryCountMax	5
   RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

   

7. Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

   Shopify Connector can be used to integrate Shopify REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Customers, Orders, OrderItems, Products and more.

   ShopifyDSN

   

8. Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in Talend Studio to retrieve data from Shopify. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.

   SELECT * FROM Products

   
   Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the Shopify API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.

9. Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in Talend Studio:

   Shopify Connector can be used to integrate Shopify REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Customers, Orders, OrderItems, Products and more.

   ShopifyDSN

   SELECT * FROM Products

   
   You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.
   A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the Shopify API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in Shopify servers).

10. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read Shopify data in Talend Studio

To read Shopify data in Talend Studio, we'll need to complete several steps. Let's get through them all right away!

Create connection for input

1. First of all, open Talend Studio
2. Create a new connection:
3. Select Microsoft SQL Server connection:
4. Name your connection:
5. Fill-in connection parameters and then click Test connection:
   ShopifyDSN

   
6. If the List of modules not installed for this operation window shows up, then download and install all of them:
   Review and accept all additional module license agreements during the process
7. Finally, you should see a successful connection test result at the end:

Add input

1. Once we have a connection to ZappySys Data Gateway created, we can proceed by creating a job:
2. Simply drag and drop ZappySys Data Gateway connection onto the job:
3. Then create an input based on ZappySys Data Gateway connection:
4. Continue by configuring a SQL query and click Guess schema button:
5. Finish by configuring the schema, for example:

Add output

Run the job
