The Notify Me Public API lets you securely access your operational data so you can sync it with your own systems, such as warehouses, planning tools, or reporting dashboards.
This API is currently read-only and cannot make changes to your store or customer data.
What the Public API is for
The Public API is designed for operational visibility and data synchronization. It’s most useful if you:
Use a 3PL or warehouse system and need real-time pre-order data
Want to sync restock waitlists into internal tools or BI dashboards
Need automated access to Notify Me data instead of manual exports
What data you can access
With the Public API, you can access:
Pre-order data, including order details and fulfillment status
Restock subscription and waitlist data for out-of-stock products
The API is optimized for high-volume data that changes frequently and is suitable for regular syncing.
Creating an API key
To get started, you’ll need to generate an API key.
Steps:
Open Notify Me in your Shopify admin
Go to Settings
Select API keys
Click Generate API key
Give the key a name so you know where it’s used
Generate the key
Once created, the full API key will be shown only once. Make sure you copy and store it securely before closing the window.
Rotating an API key
If you believe a key may be compromised or you want to refresh it for security reasons, you can rotate it.
When you rotate a key:
The current key is invalidated
A new key is generated immediately
Any systems using the old key must be updated
Revoking an API key
If a key is no longer needed or should no longer have access, you can revoke it.
When you revoke a key:
Access is disabled immediately
The key cannot be used again
Any connected systems will stop working
