Simple question, I’m updating the GraphQL API in my app from 2024-07 to 2025-07, and currently use around 10 different queries.
What would be the recommended step by step to update the API without anything breaking?
I understand that I should check the developer changelog but, is every single small change in all fields for all queries specified in this changelog? I’m afraid that some specific field may have been replaced, and that after changing the API version my could break.
Any insights or ideas are appreciated!

Hey @Pridentt, since you haven’t updated in a while, the simplest approach would be to log your response headers. They will contain alerts if the API call you are making is deprecated. The X-Shopify-API-Deprecated-Reason HTTP header will return actual GraphQL deprecations if any - Shopify developer changelog
The new dev dashboard also has API health monitoring to help you identify deprecated API usage
Thank you @KyleG-Shopify ! I don’t see any API health alerts, I’ll still monitor the response header now just in case.

Great plan! The changelog also has an RSS feed. It’s super useful to keep on top of all of the changes as they roll out. https://shopify.dev/changelog/feed.xml
