If this is the first time you make a call in the Postman, you must generate API credentials from the Shopify admin.
Generate API Credentials From Shopify Admin

-
- After creating an app, you must assign “Orders” scopes to the admin API scopes.
-
- Remember the Admin API access token and the API key to count all orders in the Postman.
Now, we will take the first call: Count all open orders

-
- Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace
-
- Create a new GET with this URL:
