This function can handle requests for apps embedded in the Admin, Admin extensions, or non-embedded apps. ## authenticate.​admin(**[request](#authenticateadmin-propertydetail-request)**​) Authenticates requests coming from the Shopify admin. The shape of the returned object changes depending on the `isEmbeddedApp` config. ### Parameters * **request** **Request** **required** ### Returns * **Promise\>** ### AdminContext ```ts Config['isEmbeddedApp'] extends false ? NonEmbeddedAdminContext : EmbeddedAdminContext ``` ### NonEmbeddedAdminContext * admin Methods for interacting with the GraphQL / REST Admin APIs for the store that made the request. ```ts AdminApiContext ``` * billing Billing methods for this store, based on the plans defined in the \`billing\` config option. ```ts BillingContext ``` * cors A function that ensures the CORS headers are set correctly for the response. ```ts EnsureCORSFunction ``` * session The session for the user who made the request. This comes from the session storage which \`shopifyApp\` uses to store sessions in your database of choice. Use this to get shop or user-specific data. ```ts Session ``` ### AdminApiContext Provides utilities that apps can use to make requests to the Admin API. * graphql Methods for interacting with the Shopify Admin GraphQL API ```ts GraphQLClient ``` * rest Methods for interacting with the Shopify Admin REST API There are methods for interacting with individual REST resources.
