Refresh a digital product from Shopify

POST/digital_products/{id}/refresh

Costs 2 rate-limit points · Rate limits

Ask Shopify for the product's current title, variant title and sku and store them, as opening the product page does. The answer is the digital product with exists_on_shopify filled in: false when Shopify no longer has the product or variant.

Calls Shopify. The stored title, variant title and sku are overwritten with Shopify's; nothing else changes, and a deleted product keeps delivering until it is removed in Filemonk (Products page, or DELETE /digital_products/:id over REST).

Errors

401

Missing or invalid API key.

404

The resource does not exist for this shop, or the action path is not registered.

422

The request failed validation, or sent a key the action does not take (code: "unknown_parameters" with unknown and accepted). Nothing was saved.

429

Rate limited. Cost-weighted per API key, shared with API v1: a read costs 1 point, a write 2, 40 points per fixed 60-second window. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset (Unix time the window ends); a 429 adds Retry-After (seconds), retry_after, retryable: true and a next_step in the body. A 429 did nothing: wait retry_after seconds, then send the same request again. The budget is per key, so every tool or script using the key shares it; prefer one list call with per_page over many single reads.

502

Shopify (or the email service) did not complete the request. Nothing was changed; try again shortly.

Every error has the same shape: see Errors.
