# Create automatic and code discounts in GraphQL with our new Discounts API

We’re releasing a new Discounts API that has the ability to create and manage automatic and code discounts in the Shopify GraphQL Admin API.

***

The new Discounts API brings the ability to create and manage Automatic Discounts via the API. Additionally, they also allow the creation of standard code-based discounts without the need for using the PriceRule resource.

The capabilities include:

* Automatic discounts of Buy X Get Y, or Basic (flat percentage or dollar value)
* Code discounts of Buy X Get Y, Basic, or Free Shipping

**Learn More**

This feature is available in the unstable version of the GraphQL Admin API today. To start working with the new Discounts API check out our [getting started with discounts](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/guides/discounts) guide.
