[Shopify] Can I use a rate limited API key for Shopify?

Yes.

By default, when you complete the Algolia Shopify app Quickstart (https://www.algolia.com/doc/integration/shopify/getting-started/quick-start#quickstart), the app automatically generates a Search API Key with a default rate limit of 100,000 requests per IP per hour to help mitigate bot traffic.
 

If you'd like to reduce the rate limit for this key, you can:

 

  1. Navigate to Algolia Dashboard > Settings > API Keys.
     
  2. Locate the API key associated with your Shopify store by searching for "Shopify", or copy the key from the Credentials tab in the Algolia Shopify app and search for it on the API Keys page.
     
  3. Click "Edit" and update the rate limit to your desired value.
     

If you'd like to regenerate the key instead:
 

  1.  Create a rate-limited Search API key in the Algolia dashboard, or use the add_api_key or update_api_key methods of an API client.
     
  2. Update the Search API Key in the Credentials tab of the Algolia Shopify App with the newly generated key.
