Sending to Shopify API 406 error (update order)

Ask a question
1

Hello Parabola users,

I’m trying to update Shopify order email adresses. It should be rather simple.
As Shopify intgration does not allow to update an order, I have to use “Send to API” method.

However I’m not able to update anything, getting a 406 (not acceptable) error.

API request looks like this.

{
“data”: {
“order”: {
“email”: “example@web.com”,
“id”: valid-order-id
}
},
“headers”: {
“Content-Type”: “application/json”
},
“method”: “PUT”,
“url”: “https://xxx:xxx@xxx.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-10/valid-order-id.json”
}

Anyone could shed some light on this, please?

I suspect data should not be encapsulated with “data” as read in Shopify docs:

Change an order’s email address
PUT /admin/api/2020-10/orders/450789469.json
{
“order”: {
“id”: 450789469,
“email”: “a-different@email.com”
}
}

Have a nice day,

Hello @Francois_Prigent,

Looks like you’re pretty close!

As you’ve noted, Shopify’s API docs mention the API PUT request would include /admin/api/2020-10/orders/450789469.json in the API Endpoint URL, where 450789469 would be changed to the valid-order-id, or the column’s name (the one with these IDs in it) wrapped in curly braces like {id}.


The API request you mentioned trying showed a section that likely needs adjusting:

This API request would need to include /orders/ in that API Endpoint URL for the Send to an API step to connect. Can you try updating that API export step with this API Endpoint URL?:
https://xxx:xxx@shopify-store-name.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-10/orders/{id column name}.json


Should be a quick fix. Let us know how that works out for you!
