Newbie questions on API calls

Hi everyone, I’m tech savvy but extremely new to the world of APIs. One of our vendors offers a live price and availability API. But honestly, I have NO idea where to start. I tried watching a couple YouTube videos (maybe the wrong ones?) and they just made me more confused.

Hey @Brent_Bartsch

A good place to start would be this app surfaces explainer doc: App surfaces

I’d also recommend using the Dev Assistant to ask questions which will help to familiarize yourself with how the Shopify API works, see this blog post: Meet Shopify Dev Assistant: Build Shopify Apps Faster Than Ever (2025) - Shopify Ireland
