How do I get the ID of the active theme from the Theme API

Question

Using the Shopify Theme API (Link), I'd like to be able to get the theme ID for the currently active (main) theme.

I'm using the api gem as follows:

Shopify::Theme.find(:all, :params => { :role => 'published' })

It returns every installed theme and not just the main, published theme. Can I access a Theme this way?

Answer 1

You can't filter on role the way you're trying to.

However, seeing as each shop can only have a maximum of 8 themes it's not much effort to simply grab all the themes with ShopifyAPI::Theme.all and then search through them for the one being used as the main one.

You can also try getting the ID through Assets like this:

@theme_asset = ShopifyAPI::Asset.find('layout/theme.liquid')
@theme_asset.theme_id
