Copy data from Shopify using Azure Data Factory (Preview)

This article outlines how to use the Copy Activity in Azure Data Factory to copy data from Shopify. It builds on the copy activity overview article that presents a general overview of copy activity.

Important

This connector is currently in preview. You can try it out and give us feedback. If you want to take a dependency on preview connectors in your solution, please contact Azure support.

Supported capabilities

You can copy data from Shopify to any supported sink data store. For a list of data stores that are supported as sources/sinks by the copy activity, see the Supported data stores table.

Azure Data Factory provides a built-in driver to enable connectivity, therefore you don't need to manually install any driver using this connector.

Getting started

[!INCLUDE data-factory-v2-connector-get-started]

The following sections provide details about properties that are used to define Data Factory entities specific to Shopify connector.

Linked service properties

The following properties are supported for Shopify linked service:

Property Description Required
type The type property must be set to: Shopify Yes
host The endpoint of the Shopify server. (that is, mystore.myshopify.com) Yes
accessToken The API access token that can be used to access Shopify’s data. The token does not expire if it is offline mode. Mark this field as a SecureString to store it securely in Data Factory, or reference a secret stored in Azure Key Vault. Yes
useEncryptedEndpoints Specifies whether the data source endpoints are encrypted using HTTPS. The default value is true. No
useHostVerification Specifies whether to require the host name in the server's certificate to match the host name of the server when connecting over SSL. The default value is true. No
usePeerVerification Specifies whether to verify the identity of the server when connecting over SSL. The default value is true. No

Example:

{
    "name": "ShopifyLinkedService",
    "properties": {
        "type": "Shopify",
        "typeProperties": {
            "host" : "mystore.myshopify.com",
            "accessToken": {
                 "type": "SecureString",
                 "value": "<accessToken>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Dataset properties

For a full list of sections and properties available for defining datasets, see the datasets article. This section provides a list of properties supported by Shopify dataset.

To copy data from Shopify, set the type property of the dataset to ShopifyObject. There is no additional type-specific property in this type of dataset.

Example

{
    "name": "ShopifyDataset",
    "properties": {
        "type": "ShopifyObject",
        "linkedServiceName": {
            "referenceName": "<Shopify linked service name>",
            "type": "LinkedServiceReference"
        }
    }
}

Copy activity properties

For a full list of sections and properties available for defining activities, see the Pipelines article. This section provides a list of properties supported by Shopify source.

ShopifySource as source

To copy data from Shopify, set the source type in the copy activity to ShopifySource. The following properties are supported in the copy activity source section:

Property Description Required
type The type property of the copy activity source must be set to: ShopifySource Yes
query Use the custom SQL query to read data. For example: "SELECT * FROM "Products" WHERE Product_Id = '123'". Yes

Example:

"activities":[
    {
        "name": "CopyFromShopify",
        "type": "Copy",
        "inputs": [
            {
                "referenceName": "<Shopify input dataset name>",
                "type": "DatasetReference"
            }
        ],
        "outputs": [
            {
                "referenceName": "<output dataset name>",
                "type": "DatasetReference"
            }
        ],
        "typeProperties": {
            "source": {
                "type": "ShopifySource",
                "query": "SELECT * FROM \"Products\" WHERE Product_Id = '123'"
            },
            "sink": {
                "type": "<sink type>"
            }
        }
    }
]
