Using real data

External requests

Shop Minis run in a restricted environment and external requests are only permitted on a case-by-case basis. They must fetch data using the minisFetch helper and domains must be listed in the trusted_domains field of the manifest. However, during development you can make requests to localhost or use fetch directly.

import {minisFetch} from '@shopify/shop-minis-platform-sdk'

try {
  const res = await minisFetch('http://localhost:3000/endpoint', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      Accept: 'application/json',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      param: 'value',
    }),
  })

  handleSuccess(await res.json())
} catch (error) {
  handleError(error)
}

caution

There is currently no authentication mechanism for external requests. Minis should only make requests to public (i.e. unauthenticated) APIs.
