Shopify CLI 3.90.1 Adds Direct Admin API and Bulk Operations Commands in 2026

What Changed

Shopify CLI version 3.90.1 now includes four new terminal commands that let developers execute Admin API operations without leaving the command line. The shopify app execute command runs standard queries and mutations, while shopify app bulk execute handles bulk operations with optional synchronous monitoring via the --watch flag. Two additional commands, shopify app bulk status and shopify app bulk cancel, provide real-time visibility and control over ongoing bulk operations.

Why This Matters

These new CLI commands streamline the developer workflow by eliminating the need to switch between tools or use separate API clients to interact with the Shopify Admin API. Developers can now test queries, execute mutations, and manage bulk operations directly from their terminal, reducing friction during development and debugging. The ability to watch bulk operations synchronously is particularly valuable for developers working with large datasets, as it provides immediate feedback on operation status without manual polling.

What You Should Do

How GetShopifyToken Helps

When using these CLI commands, you'll need valid access tokens to authenticate with the Shopify Admin API. GetShopifyToken simplifies the OAuth flow and token management, ensuring you have the necessary credentials to execute these commands securely and efficiently.
