Blog

Version 2020-01

In addition to an online storefront, Shopify shops come with a built-in blogging engine, allowing a shop to have one or more blogs.

Shop owners are encouraged to use blogs to:

  • Make announcements
  • Talk about their products in more detail
  • Show off their expertise
  • Connect with their customers and
  • Boost their shop's search engine rankings

Shopify blogs are like most other blogs: a content management system for articles posted in reverse chronological order. Articles can be posted under one or more user-defined categories and tagged with one or more user-defined tags, with an option to allow readers to post comments to articles. An Atom feed is automatically generated for each blog, allowing for syndication. The search functionality built into every shop also searches the text in blog articles.

Blogs are meant to be used as a type of magazine or newsletter for the shop, with content that changes over time. If your shop needs a static page (such as an "About Us" page), we recommend that you use a Page instead.

Also see the Article resource for managing blog articles.

What you can do with Blog

The Shopify API lets you do the following with the Blog resource. More detailed versions of these general actions may be available:

Blog properties

commentable 
"commentable": "no"

Indicates whether readers can post comments to the blog and if comments are moderated or not. Possible values are:

  • no (default): Readers cannot post comments to blog articles.
  • moderate: Readers can post comments to blog articles, but comments must be moderated before they appear.
  • yes: Readers can post comments to blog articles without moderation.
created_at
read-only 
"created_at": "2012-03-13T16:09:54-04:00"

The date and time when the blog was created. The API returns this value in ISO 8601 format.
feedburner 
"feedburner": null

Feedburner is a web feed management provider and can be enabled to provide custom RSS feeds for Shopify bloggers. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.
feedburner_location 
"feedburner_location": null

URL to the feedburner location for blogs that have enabled feedburner through their store admin. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.

metafield 
"metafield": {

  "namespace": "global"
}

Attaches additional metadata to a store's resources:

  • key (required): Identifier for the metafield (maximum of 30 characters).
  • namespace (required): Container for a set of metadata. Namespaces help distinguish between metadata you created and metadata created by another individual with a similar namespace (maximum of 20 characters).
  • value (required): Information to be stored as metadata.
  • value_type (required): States whether the information in the value is stored as a 'string' or 'integer.'
  • description (optional): Additional information about the metafield.

"tags": "tagged"

Tags are additional short descriptors formatted as a string of comma-separated values. For example, if an article has three tags: tag1, tag2, tag3. Tags are limited to 255 characters.
template_suffix 
"template_suffix": null

States the name of the template a blog is using if it is using an alternate template. If a blog is using the default blog.liquid template, the value returned is "null".

In addition to an online storefront, Shopify shops come with a built-in blogging engine, allowing a shop to have one or more blogs.

Shop owners are encouraged to use blogs to:

  • Make announcements
  • Talk about their products in more detail
  • Show off their expertise
  • Connect with their customers and
  • Boost their shop's search engine rankings

Shopify blogs are like most other blogs: a content management system for articles posted in reverse chronological order. Articles can be posted under one or more user-defined categories and tagged with one or more user-defined tags, with an option to allow readers to post comments to articles. An Atom feed is automatically generated for each blog, allowing for syndication. The search functionality built into every shop also searches the text in blog articles.

Blogs are meant to be used as a type of magazine or newsletter for the shop, with content that changes over time. If your shop needs a static page (such as an "About Us" page), we recommend that you use a Page instead.

Also see the Article resource for managing blog articles.

What you can do with Blog

The Shopify API lets you do the following with the Blog resource. More detailed versions of these general actions may be available:

Blog properties

commentable 
"commentable": "no"

Indicates whether readers can post comments to the blog and if comments are moderated or not. Possible values are:

  • no (default): Readers cannot post comments to blog articles.
  • moderate: Readers can post comments to blog articles, but comments must be moderated before they appear.
  • yes: Readers can post comments to blog articles without moderation.
created_at
read-only 
"created_at": "2012-03-13T16:09:54-04:00"

The date and time when the blog was created. The API returns this value in ISO 8601 format.
feedburner 
"feedburner": null

Feedburner is a web feed management provider and can be enabled to provide custom RSS feeds for Shopify bloggers. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.
feedburner_location 
"feedburner_location": null

URL to the feedburner location for blogs that have enabled feedburner through their store admin. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.

A unique numeric identifier for the blog.
metafield 
"metafield": {

  "namespace": "global"
}

Attaches additional metadata to a store's resources:

  • key (required): Identifier for the metafield (maximum of 30 characters).
  • namespace (required): Container for a set of metadata. Namespaces help distinguish between metadata you created and metadata created by another individual with a similar namespace (maximum of 20 characters).
  • value (required): Information to be stored as metadata.
  • value_type (required): States whether the information in the value is stored as a 'string' or 'integer.'
  • description (optional): Additional information about the metafield.

Tags are additional short descriptors formatted as a string of comma-separated values. For example, if an article has three tags: tag1, tag2, tag3. Tags are limited to 255 characters.
template_suffix 
"template_suffix": null

States the name of the template a blog is using if it is using an alternate template. If a blog is using the default blog.liquid template, the value returned is "null".

Version 2021-01 (Latest)

In addition to an online storefront, Shopify shops come with a built-in blogging engine, allowing a shop to have one or more blogs.

Shop owners are encouraged to use blogs to:

  • Make announcements
  • Talk about their products in more detail
  • Show off their expertise
  • Connect with their customers and
  • Boost their shop's search engine rankings

Shopify blogs are like most other blogs: a content management system for articles posted in reverse chronological order. Articles can be posted under one or more user-defined categories and tagged with one or more user-defined tags, with an option to allow readers to post comments to articles. An Atom feed is automatically generated for each blog, allowing for syndication. The search functionality built into every shop also searches the text in blog articles.

Blogs are meant to be used as a type of magazine or newsletter for the shop, with content that changes over time. If your shop needs a static page (such as an "About Us" page), we recommend that you use a Page instead.

Also see the Article resource for managing blog articles.

What you can do with Blog

The Shopify API lets you do the following with the Blog resource. More detailed versions of these general actions may be available:

Blog properties

commentable 
"commentable": "no"

Indicates whether readers can post comments to the blog and if comments are moderated or not. Possible values are:

  • no (default): Readers cannot post comments to blog articles.
  • moderate: Readers can post comments to blog articles, but comments must be moderated before they appear.
  • yes: Readers can post comments to blog articles without moderation.
created_at
read-only 
"created_at": "2012-03-13T16:09:54-04:00"

The date and time when the blog was created. The API returns this value in ISO 8601 format.
feedburner 
"feedburner": null

Feedburner is a web feed management provider and can be enabled to provide custom RSS feeds for Shopify bloggers. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.
feedburner_location 
"feedburner_location": null

URL to the feedburner location for blogs that have enabled feedburner through their store admin. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.
handle 
"handle": "apple-blog"

A human-friendly unique string for a blog automatically generated from its title. This handle is used by the Liquid templating language to refer to the blog.
id
read-only 
"id": 241253187

A unique numeric identifier for the blog.
metafield 
"metafield": {
  "key": "new",
  "value": "newvalue",
  "value_type": "string",
  "namespace": "global"
}

Attaches additional metadata to a store's resources:

  • key (required): Identifier for the metafield (maximum of 30 characters).
  • namespace (required): Container for a set of metadata. Namespaces help distinguish between metadata you created and metadata created by another individual with a similar namespace (maximum of 20 characters).
  • value (required): Information to be stored as metadata.
  • value_type (required): States whether the information in the value is stored as a 'string' or 'integer.'
  • description (optional): Additional information about the metafield.
tags 
"tags": "tagged"

Tags are additional short descriptors formatted as a string of comma-separated values. For example, if an article has three tags: tag1, tag2, tag3. Tags are limited to 255 characters.
template_suffix 
"template_suffix": null

States the name of the template a blog is using if it is using an alternate template. If a blog is using the default blog.liquid template, the value returned is "null".
title 
"title": "My Blog"

The title of the blog.
updated_at
read-only 
"updated_at": "2006-02-01T19:00:00-05:00"

The date and time when changes were last made to the blog's properties. Note that this is not updated when creating, modifying or deleting articles in the blog. The API returns this value in ISO 8601 format.

Endpoints

Shopify blogs are like most other blogs: a content management system for articles posted in reverse chronological order. Articles can be posted under one or more user-defined categories and tagged with one or more user-defined tags, with an option to allow readers to post comments to articles. An Atom feed is automatically generated for each blog, allowing for syndication. The search functionality built into every shop also searches the text in blog articles.

Blogs are meant to be used as a type of magazine or newsletter for the shop, with content that changes over time. If your shop needs a static page (such as an "About Us" page), we recommend that you use a Page instead.

Also see the Article resource for managing blog articles.

What you can do with Blog

The Shopify API lets you do the following with the Blog resource. More detailed versions of these general actions may be available:

Blog properties

commentable 
"commentable": "no"

Indicates whether readers can post comments to the blog and if comments are moderated or not. Possible values are:

  • no (default): Readers cannot post comments to blog articles.
  • moderate: Readers can post comments to blog articles, but comments must be moderated before they appear.
  • yes: Readers can post comments to blog articles without moderation.
created_at
read-only 
"created_at": "2012-03-13T16:09:54-04:00"

The date and time when the blog was created. The API returns this value in ISO 8601 format.
feedburner 
"feedburner": null

Feedburner is a web feed management provider and can be enabled to provide custom RSS feeds for Shopify bloggers. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.
feedburner_location 
"feedburner_location": null

URL to the feedburner location for blogs that have enabled feedburner through their store admin. This property will default to blank or "null" unless feedburner is enabled through the shop admin.

  "namespace": "global"
}

Attaches additional metadata to a store's resources:

  • key (required): Identifier for the metafield (maximum of 30 characters).

In addition to an online storefront, Shopify shops come with a built-in blogging engine, allowing a shop to have one or more blogs.

Shop owners are encouraged to use blogs to:

  • Make announcements
  • Talk about their products in more detail
  • Show off their expertise
  • Connect with their customers and
  • Boost their shop's search engine rankings

Shopify blogs are like most other blogs: a content management system for articles posted in reverse chronological order. Articles can be posted under one or more user-defined categories and tagged with one or more user-defined tags, with an option to allow readers to post comments to articles. An Atom feed is automatically generated for each blog, allowing for syndication. The search functionality built into every shop also searches the text in blog articles.

Blogs are meant to be used as a type of magazine or newsletter for the shop, with content that changes over time. If your shop needs a static page (such as an "About Us" page), we recommend that you use a Page instead.
