Error Handling

Possible error scenarios include:

Performance Considerations

• This query returns all enabled currencies without pagination; the dataset is typically small and performant.
• Avoid requesting unnecessary fields to reduce response size.
• Cache results client-side when possible, as currency data changes infrequently.
• Rate limiting may apply; implement exponential backoff on repeated failures.

Authentication

This API currently does not require authentication. However, authentication requirements may be introduced in future versions. Monitor API updates for any changes to authentication requirements.

Notes

• The enabled field indicates if the currency is currently active in the store.
• Use this query to dynamically populate currency options in your storefront or admin tools.
• Since no arguments are accepted, the query always returns all enabled currencies.
