This project involves leveraging Python programming to unlock the potential of Shopify webhooks for seamless integration of real-time e-commerce data. The project comprises three key phases:
- Token Retrieval and Service Setup: Obtain an access token from Shopify’s API by configuring a designated app with appropriate access scopes, including order reading. Acquire essential service account details necessary for interfacing with Google Pub/Sub.
- Google Pub/Sub Configuration: Set up a Google Pub/Sub topic within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. Establish proper permissions for the service account, enabling Shopify to publish data directly to the Pub/Sub topic.
- Python Implementation of Webhooks: Develop Python code to establish, manage, and potentially remove webhooks. Create a functional webhook connection between Shopify and the Google Pub/Sub topic, facilitating real-time data transmission.
The overarching goal of this project is to empower developers with the capability to integrate Shopify’s e-commerce data into their applications in real time. By employing Python, Google Pub/Sub, and Shopify webhooks, developers can unlock new possibilities for data-driven decision-making and enhanced user experiences.
Tools: Python, Shopify API, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Google Pub/Sub
