# Changes to Storefront API Object IDs

Last year, we announced that there were [some updates](https://shopify.dev/changelog/improvements-and-changes-coming-to-the-storefront-api) coming to the Storefront API around object IDs.

As of today, when requesting the `unstable`, `2022-04` release candidate, or future versions of the Storefront API, the object IDs returned will no longer be Base64 encoded.

Please refer to this [migation guide](https://shopify.dev/custom-storefronts/object-ids) for more details on the change and the steps needed to ensure your apps continue to work properly.
