Shopify has expanded the Customer Account API with support for metafield.reference and metafield.references, enabling developers to query reference Media types including MediaImage, GenericFile, Model3d, and Video. Additionally, metaobjects can now be queried through metafield.reference on the Customer Account API by toggling the Customer Account API access setting when editing a metaobject definition in Admin.
This update significantly enhances the flexibility of the Customer Account API, allowing developers to build richer, more dynamic customer-facing experiences. By accessing media references and metaobjects directly through customer queries, you can now surface personalized content, custom data structures, and multimedia assets without additional API calls or workarounds. This streamlines development workflows and reduces the complexity of customer-centric applications on Shopify.
