Shopify API productTaxonomyNodeId error when using productCreate in Node.js GraphQL

The following Shopify API GraphQL Node.js code generates error. Code import "@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node"; import { shopifyApi, ApiVersion, Session } from "@shopify/shopify-api"; import { restResources } from "@shopify/shopify-api/rest/admin/2023-04"; const shopify = shopifyApi({ apiSecretKey: Shopify_App_API_secret_key, // Note: this is the API Secret Key, NOT the API access token apiVersion: ApiVersion.April23, isCustomStoreApp: true, // this MUST be set to true (default is false) adminApiAccessToken: Shopify_Admin_API_Access_Token, // Note: this is the API access token, NOT the API Secret Key isEmbeddedApp: false, hostName: Shopify_Host_Name, // Mount REST resources. restResources, }); const shopifySession = shopify.session.customAppSession(Shopify_Host_Name); const shopifyClient = new shopify.clients.Graphql({session:shopifySession}); const data = await shopifyClient.query({ data: `mutation { productCreate(input: { handle: "test-product", title: "Sweet new product", descriptionHtml: "test", vendor: "JadedPixel", productCategory: { productTaxonomyNodeId: "gid://shopify/TaxonomyCategory/fr" }, productType: "Snowboard", tags: "new", status: DRAFT, templateSuffix: "ltl-shipping" }) { product { id } } }`, }); Error Uncaught GraphqlQueryError Error: invalid id at throwFailedRequest (c:\Users\BusinessOnline\Documents\software\node_modules\@shopify\shopify-api\dist\esm\lib\clients\common.mjs:55:15) at request (c:\Users\BusinessOnline\Documents\software\node_modules\@shopify\shopify-api\dist\esm\lib\clients\admin\graphql\client.mjs:71:13) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues:95:5) When I remove productCategory: {productTaxonomyNodeId: "gid://shopify/TaxonomyCategory/fr"} in query, no error, and the product is created, which I can check in my Shopify Admin site. I got the product category ID at https://shopify.github.io/product-taxonomy/releases/2024-07/. I used the following as the main references. https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/mutations/productCreate https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/input-objects/ProductCategoryInput https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/objects/ProductTaxonomyNode How can I fix this problem?

I found a solution. After thinking about the problem a bit, I thought maybe using the latest Shopify API might solve the problem, since the product category ID from https://shopify.github.io/product-taxonomy/releases/2024-07/ was versioned at 2024-07, which was the same as the latest Shopify API version. The following Shopify API GraphQL Node.js code works; it creates the product as intended. import "@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node"; import { shopifyApi, ApiVersion, Session } from "@shopify/shopify-api"; import { restResources } from "@shopify/shopify-api/rest/admin/2024-07"; const shopify = shopifyApi({ apiSecretKey: Shopify_App_API_secret_key, // Note: this is the API Secret Key, NOT the API access token apiVersion: ApiVersion.July24, isCustomStoreApp: true, // this MUST be set to true (default is false) adminApiAccessToken: Shopify_Admin_API_Access_Token, // Note: this is the API access token, NOT the API Secret Key isEmbeddedApp: false, hostName: Shopify_Host_Name, // Mount REST resources. restResources, }); const shopifySession = shopify.session.customAppSession(Shopify_Host_Name); const shopifyClient = new shopify.clients.Graphql({session:shopifySession}); const data = await shopifyClient.query({ data: `mutation { productCreate(input: { handle: "test-product", title: "Sweet new product", descriptionHtml: "test", vendor: "JadedPixel", category: "gid://shopify/TaxonomyCategory/fr", productType: "Snowboard", tags: "new", status: DRAFT, templateSuffix: "ltl-shipping" }) { product { id } } }`, });

You’ll be in good company
