Hi, It seems something has changed recently with the behaviour of the Shopify GraphQL Admin API endpoint. I’m calling the Shopify GraphQL API from Python like this: url = f"https://{shop_id}/admin/api/2025-07/graphql.json" headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "X-Shopify-Access-Token"…

Update 2: doesn’t work with requests==2.33.1. Works with requests==2.31.0 I will close this thread

Update: I can only reproduce once the code is deployed on CloudRun, not when running locally. It looks this may be an issue with Python or a proxy between GCP and the endpoint. I don’t believe it is a Shopify endpoint issue anymore

Thank you for letting me know about those. I looked but couldn’t find anything

Confirming that our team was able to resolve the problem by forcing the app to use IPv4 as someone noted here Shopify GCP connectivity

Thanks, I also forced IPv4 for all calls to Shopify after seeing the other thread and if fixes it for me too

GraphQL Admin API response body received quickly, but connection remains open?!

Definitely seems like a Google Cloud Run issue, we’re running into it too. There’s some more info on a couple other threads:
