# `LineItem.weight` field now available in public Admin API

Starting in version `2026-07` of the [GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2026-07/objects/LineItem#field-LineItem.fields.weight), you can query the `weight` field on the `LineItem` type in the GraphQL Admin API. This field returns a `Weight` object with `value` and `unit`, making it easy to access line item weights without converting from the REST API's `grams` field.
