I’m looking into how to associate custom data with user accounts in an authenticated front-end experience on my liquid shop, and I came across the Customer Account API which seems like it may be close to what I’m looking for. I wasn’t sure, though, if that’s intended only for headless shops? Is it possible to use that API for liquid shops as well?
Hi @rpbiwer
Getting started with the Customer Account API
As described in the document, the Customer Account API can be called from any client end.
Customer Account API reference
I believe this is also available in Liquid. You can integrate custom JavaScript into Liquid and implement it in accordance with the documentation.

I reached out to Shopify Plus Support and their advice was that the Customer Account API is not intended to be used with Liquid storefronts. The solution they recommended is to use an App Proxy with a separately hosted back-end. The App Proxy sends authenticated requests to the back-end, which can then use the Admin API to read & write customer data.
