Shopify sunsets Global Catalog REST API Nov 2, 2026

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Shopify is sunsetting its Global Catalog REST API on November 2, 2026, replacing it with the Global Catalog MCP which utilizes the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). Developers with applications that search products across multiple Shopify stores must migrate to the new endpoints before this deadline. The migration involves updating API calls to new tools like `search_catalog` and `get_product`, and crucially, identifying and updating all hidden or forgotten callers within their systems and third-party integrations. AI

IMPACT Minimal direct impact on AI operators; primarily affects developers integrating with Shopify's product catalog.

RANK_REASON This is a product deprecation and migration announcement for a specific API, not a new frontier release or significant industry event.
