# Minis Admin API

The Shop Minis Admin API is a GraphQL API that allows you to manage your Mini from a backend application. It includes mutations for enabling/disabling your Mini, verifying user requests, and more.

***

## Authentication

Shop Minis Admin API requests are authenticated using an API key. Your API key will be generated when you first run the [`setup`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/shop-minis/commands/setup) command. You can find it in your project's `.env` file.

## Perform a GraphQL request

```sh
curl -X POST \
  https://server.shop.app/minis/admin-api/alpha/graphql.json \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/graphql' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <shop-minis-admin-api-key>' \
  -d '{your_query}'
```

***

## Rate limiting

The Shop Minis Admin API is rate limited. Requests that are subject to throttling will have a response status code of 429 and include a top-level error with the code `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS`.

## Rate limiting response

```json
{
  "data": null,
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Slow down there partner.",
      "extensions": {
        "code": "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS"
