# Storefront API is now available to non-channel apps

Apps no longer need to be a channel in order to access the [Storefront APIs](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront). Just request the appropriate unauthenticated access scope(s) to your app.

Take advantage of the Storefront API’s powerful [contextualization features](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront#directives) to build rich customer-facing experiences for your merchants.
