Shopify OAuth2 Authentication

See more OAuth2 Examples

This example shows how to obtain an initial access token for a Shopify application using OAuth2 authentication specifically for non-web applications. This process requires displaying a browser window to secure user authorization. In contrast, web-based applications use a different method to obtain an OAuth2 token, as they redirect back to the application via a URL. Note: Once you have the access token, all subsequent Chilkat examples that rely on an already-obtained token are applicable to both web and non-web applications. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

oauth2 = Chilkat::CkOAuth2.new()

# This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
# The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
# Make sure that "http://localhost:3017/" is listed in your Whitelisted Redirection URLs for your Shopify app.
oauth2.put_ListenPort(3017)

# The full content of the Authorization Endpoin for Shopify looks like this:
# https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize?client_id={api_key}&scope={scopes}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&state={nonce}&grant_options[]={option}

# Replace "chilkat" with your shop name.
oauth2.put_AuthorizationEndpoint("https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize")
oauth2.put_TokenEndpoint("https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/access_token")

# Replace this with your actual API KEY (client ID)
oauth2.put_ClientId("SHOPIFY_API_KEY")

# This is for Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)
# See OAuth2 PKCE Explained
oauth2.put_CodeChallenge(true)

end

# If the browser does not respond within the specified time, AuthFlowState will be:
# 
# 1: Waiting for Redirect – The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the browser's redirect request.
# 2: Waiting for Final Response – The thread is awaiting the final access token response.
# In either case, cancel the background task initiated by StartAuth.

if (oauth2.get_AuthFlowState() < 3)
    oauth2.Cancel()
    print "No response from the browser!" + "\n";
    exit
end

# Check AuthFlowState to determine if authorization was granted, denied, or failed:
# 
# 3: Success – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the successful response is in AccessTokenResponse.
# 4: Access Denied – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
# 5: Failure – OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.

    print "OAuth2 failed to complete." + "\n";

# Save the full JSON access token response to a file.
