My goal is to display data retrieved from a 3rd party (external) API that requires authentication in my Liquid Shopify theme.
I'm looking to access product options data from the Hulk Product Options API, which requires authentication, as documented here: https://productoption.hulkapps.com/api-docs/index.html
My goal would be to send a get request and retrieve data from the Hulk Product Options endpoint.
I've read that an App Proxy is what I need to set up, however I am new to the Shopify app world and am totally lost at how to set this up.
What I've done:
Followed the steps here to create an app and install it on a development store that I created through my partners dashboard.
Went to the partners dashboard, clicked "Apps" and found the app proxy section.
Questions:
What do I put in those fields? I can't find examples for filling out that section with info from an external API.
What code in which file do I need to add to the node app that was generated using shopify node create. Or is this app just necessary to be able to fill out the app proxy info?
What url can I send a GET request to using AJAX / JS in my liquid theme code?
I'm a theme developer new to app development and have never created an app, so if you can provide basic and specific instructions (code would be wonderful!) for someone who knows front-end and is competent but is lost in the app world it's much appreciated. I've asked other theme developers who also have also tried and not been able to figure this out, so there seems to be a gap in the tutorials and resources provided.
Thanks in advance!

I am starting to create my first app using PHP laravel and osiset.
I have created a partner account and created an app as well. I have integrated the library also. Done with app installation and authorization.
Now I am stuck for the next step. I don't understand how can I link my code and settings implemented on my app to Shopify frontend. How can I link the app database to Shopify website?
I save all the customized data in the app and how can I link that data with Shopify website?
I am able to make a standalone app with PHP but don't understand how its data can be linked to Shopify website. How my app database can be used in shopify website?
I am new here. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
You have two main choices in 2022.
App Proxy
Theme App Extension
Also, Post-Purchase extensions, for checkout stuff, but I digress. You should have no trouble injecting your special content using #1 or #2.
I am totally new to Shopify Public App development and I will need your help to understand it a bit better.
For a client, I need to build a Shopify Public App that will be used by several Merchants.
This application will have to access the Merchants' store via the Admin API.
If my understanding is correct, in order to access one specific Merchant's store via the Admin API, I need to have 3 pieces of information from that Merchant's store: the Public API Key, Token and URL.
Now, my question:
When the Shopify Public App is installed by a Merchant, how does my app get these 3 pieces of information (specific to that particular merchant) ?
Is there any "magic" trick? Does the Merchant need to input this info? ...
In advance, many thanks for your help
Each merchant will need to install your app. In the installation phase shopify will pass, as an argument, the access token, that is a token that you will need, to use the Admin API.
If we're talking about an embedded app is expected that every request made is authenticated.
Depending on which kind of app you want to create (embedded or not) and language you may want to use, using the Shopify Cli to create the first draft of the app is really reccommended. It will create the base to have an installable app. Here is the documentation https://shopify.dev/apps/getting-started/create
You need to install the Shopify Cli and then run
shopify app create (node | ruby | php)
depending on your language of choice.
For those who might be interested, I finally found the link to the information.

I am new to blockchain development and to tendermint as well.
I already have a blockchain running locally.
Using this command starport scaffold vue I could mount a local web application. Inspecting a bit I could replicate some network requests (localhost) and I can get the ballance of current wallet (hard-coded on the request), get the current wallet from the localstorage. I'm struggling on authentication (mnemonic, wallet name and password).
However I also would like to costumize it according to my needs and I thought I could start a web application from scratch. I can see that the generated web project is importing this project https://github.com/tendermint/vue which is making a lot of "magic behind the scenes" and importing UI elements as well and I would like to have my own elements.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel and I can make some imports to help me on connection to wallet, validate authentication (mnemonic, wallet name and password), create wallet and so on.
I am trying to build a web application to connect to wallet, make transations.... but I would like to control the styles and the connections (and if possible using reactjs instead of vuejs, otherwise I dont mind learn vuejs as well).
Is this possible or reasonable? Where I can find good documentation or tutorial to guide me on customize a web application using tendermint. Honestly I searched but I am kind of lost.
Thanks
UPDATE: I found good examples and here and here. It helped me to validate mnemonics and make transactions, with my stack tech.
Because Starport generates both plain Javascript and VUE controllers, you have few options:
Create your own site re-using VUE components
Take plain JS part and build a website using whatever technology you like
Use a plain JS client for standard cosmos modules you can find on GitHub
Use Protobuf generator to generate light client code yourself
If you only need wallet functionality, #2 and #3 may work best for you because the bank module is stable and hasn't changed much in a long time.
You can find plain JS file for bank in your project:
vue/src/store/generated/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/cosmos.bank.v1beta1/module/index.ts
There is a link to starport discord channel related to frontend: https://discord.gg/CvbdYh9AWQ

You've got several way to access the content of a Wordpress blog.
First and easiest solution is to use the basic RSS feed which is available on any Wordpress, and which is compatible with other kinds of websites.
With Wordpress, more specifically, you can use the XML-RPC API embed by the CMS.
This API need to be enable on the Wordpress website and every request will have to be authenticated with a real user to the Wordpress website (you can implement the registration process in the app or use a generic user in every installed app).
You have several library which handle the XML-RPC calls such as https://github.com/corristo/xmlrpc
(I am reposting this question here because I tried on the google news group and got no responses.)
I need to build a shop for my client, and the client already has a domain and a web site. I need to integrate e-commerce functionality in to the site. This is going to be done by sending AJAX requests to the API.
my question is whether I need to get a partner account for this? I am not yet going to write an app that people would install, I am just building a store for my client. how is it done?
You do not need a Shopify Partner account for this. You can instead create a "Private application" within the normal shopify admin, which will give you the api credentials you need to make stuff happen.
This article on the shopify wiki gives a good overview of the process for getting started (the first sections are most relevant in your case):
