I have a very big amount of data and I have to update that on Shopify but Shopify allows only one creation at one request.
Are there any possibility for batch creation?
No. Shopify API does not provide any bulk operations or batch processing.
But that does not mean that you have to update them one after the other. You can read the details about getting the most out of Shopify API at their blog.
7 Tips to Maximize Your Use of The Shopify API
This explains you the concurrent scheduling of API requests. You have not mentioned any particular language that you are using, but the Official Shopify module for NodeJS is pretty robust and also takes care of rate limiting.

I have created a Shopify Store which needs to contact another outside web service to send a query and then build the products based on the query response data.
Is it possible to do with Shopify?
If yes, then how should I go about implementing it?
I have tried looking into the docs but it seems like the only option is to connect with Admin API to add products. However, I don't want to store product data but instead rely on the API.
You do want to use Admin API calls. The reason is simple. They let you create products in Shopify, in bulk. Why fight the power! Using the Admin API has nothing to do with storing products, not sure why you're afraid.
So you get your product info from wherever, format it into Shopify-compatible data, inform Shopify of your data, and sit back and relax. The bulk building is really quite simple for a pattern. You can also build yourself a CSV to import where you also format the data to be compatible with Shopify. So there are two options for you right there.
I am very new in Bigcommerce. I have 400000 products it's possible to fetch all 400000 record from GraphQL at once. Or Any Limit in Bigcommerce or limit where I check limit of Bigcommerce in Bigcommerce.
I'd definitely suggest checking out the link that Heather provided in her comment, but I will also answer your question directly.
The GraphQL API only supports up to 50 resources at a time, but this also depends on the complexity of your query - so it can vary. I'd highly suggest checking out the BigCommerce GraphQL Overview, as the documentation here goes over this exact question. If you are using the server-side API endpoints, there's a limit of 250 resources per response.
I would like to set up a Shopify subscription model that starts with 1 main product but allow for recurring subscription of "refills" for the product. However the "refills" would should only start on the second month as the main product includes the first set.
Is there a subscription app that allows for this functionality?
That is completely supported by the Shopify Subscription API. If you try the various Apps that support Subscriptions, and they do not provide for this functionality, make a support request. You'd be surprised how easy it can be to get them to add basic stuff. Otherwise, roll your own App and you can make a plan that has this functionality without too much fuss.
Is there any way currently to do a parallel payment in paypal with the rest api? I am building a mobile application and can only use the rest api system however there is no documentation on how you can use parallel payments with REST.
You can do everything else so it seems to me like the developers got to that feature and just gave up :P.
This feature is a huge part of our website and if we cannot use it on the mobile app it will mean we have to redo how we handle transactions on the site so that both areas are consistent.
If this feature is not available since rest was supposed to be the refresh of all their API's to support newer tech is it coming? Does anyone know and if you do any information on a timeline would be helpful.
REST API does not support parallel payments at this time, it's in the product road map but not yet in the released APIs.
An alternative for your use case is to integrate the webview embedded Express Checkout flow into your APP, it provides the most identical experience to payers since the new UI was released.
I set up a development shop on Shopify to test webhooks. I'm using this for proof of concept to update an external system whenever a product changes within Shopify. All seemed to be working as intended until I tried using the bulk product edit feature(the tool, not the csv import). I'm not receiving any webhook posts on bulk update.
I have several webhooks set up for various triggers, and they are all seemingly working. The product/update webhook works if I edit the product or its inventory individually, but not if I use the bulk edit tool.
I actually had 2 separate product/update webhooks going to 2 separate URLs, but I removed one of them just to be sure that wasn't causing any conflicts. I also tried chat support on Shopify, but they actually referred me here.
I really need for this to work as I'm not being given enough time to develop an API app to accomplish this.
Thanks for bringing this up! Those webhooks should now fire consistently when using the bulk editor.
