Release date Date version is no longer supported
January 1, 2020 January 1, 2021
The 2020-01 release contains many of the features we previewed at [Unite 2019](https://www.shopify.ca/partners/blog/shopify-unite-announcements-2019). The product media, order editing, and fulfillment orders features are now stable and available on merchant stores. You’ll also find new additions to how you can manage smart collections and discount codes. **What's new in 2020-01** The following features were added in version 2020-01 of Shopify’s APIs: * [Manage the various types of media associated with merchants' products](/docs/apps/build/online-store/product-media) using the GraphQL Admin API. * [Edit orders](/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/order-management-apps/edit-orders) using the GraphQL Admin API. * [Improve your fulfillment workflows with fulfillment orders](/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/fulfillment-service-apps) using the GraphQL Admin API. * [Manage smart collections more effectively](/docs/api/admin-rest/latest/resources/collection) using the REST Admin API. * [Create “Spend X Get Y” discount codes](/docs/apps/build/discounts#related-mutations-and-queries) using the GraphQL Admin API. ## Breaking changes These changes require special attention. If your app uses these API resources, and you don’t adjust your usage of the resources according to the following instructions, then your app might break when you update to this API version. ### Collects API As of verison 2020-01, the Collects REST API only returns collects associated with custom collections, and no longer returns products associated with Smart Collections. To get the products in a smart collection, use the new `/admin/api/2020-04/collections/#{collection_id}/products.json` endpoint. ### Maximum input array size for GraphQL operations Input arguments that accept an array now have a maximum size of 250. Queries and mutations return an error if an input array exceeds 250 items. This change applies to both the Admin API and the Storefront API. ## REST Admin API changes Below are all the changes introduced in the 2020-01 version of the REST Admin API.

Collects API now returns only collects associated with custom collections, and no longer returns products associated with Smart Collections. The following endpoints are affected:

  • GET /admin/api/2020-01/collects.json: Now only returns collects associated with custom collections.
  • GET /admin/api/2020-01/collects/count.json: Now only returns the count of collects associated with custom collections.
  • GET /admin/api/2020-01/collects/{collect_id}.json: If the ID collect_id is related to smart collection, then this endpoint returns a 404 error.
  • New API for getting products inside a collection. GET /admin/api/2020-01/collections/#{collection_id}/products.json
  • New API for getting a collection by its ID. GET /admin/api/2020-01/collections/#{collection_id}.json
