Shopify Python API and Future GraphQL-Only Support

[NavidBecause]

Description

Shopify has announced plans to deprecate the REST API in favor of GraphQL-only support. However, the shopify_python_api package still heavily relies on REST under the hood, even when using the shopify.GraphQL client.

As Shopify transitions to a GraphQL only approach, I'm wondering

• Will the Shopify Python API be updated to fully support GraphQL-only workflows?
• Are there plans to remove REST dependencies and provide an optimized GraphQL client?
• Should developers continue using this package for GraphQL, or should we start migrating to custom GraphQL clients?
• If an official GraphQL-first version is planned, is there an ETA or roadmap?

Any insights into future plans and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! 🙏

Bump! I see that REST will (might) be abandoned around April. This plugin supports some GraphQL queries (GraphQL.execute(query)) so it's possible to switch and consume GraphQL here as well

Hey @sle-c @Arkham - do you know the answers to the above? I think it will be important to add clarity about which parts of this package will be inoperable due to the REST API decommissioning next month
