Shopify app costs JSON API
One static JSON file, CORS enabled, no key. Fields are read from the file we actually serve.
These are plain static files. There is no key, no sign-up and no rate limit beyond ordinary good manners: cache what you fetch and please do not poll more than once a day, because the files only change when we re-check the data.
- Licence: CC BY 4.0. Credit StoreCartel and link to https://storecartel.com/shopify-app-cost-calculator/.
- CORS: every file under
/data/is served withAccess-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so you can call it straight from browser JavaScript. - Update cadence: Rebuilt whenever app prices are re-checked against each app's Shopify App Store listing; each app carries its own checked date. Vendors change prices without notice, so prices are as of the checked date.
- Versioning: files are overwritten in place. The checked date below tells you which version you have.
- Related: embeds, charts and downloads and the press and media kit.
