I am looking to add a javascript snippet for some analytics across the store using the Shopify API. I figured out that using admin/themes/:id/assets.json I can modify the theme.liquid to insert snippet but this changes the entire content of the page. The current API call that I do is
admin/themes/35073539/assets.json
{
"asset": {
"key": "layout\/theme.liquid",
"value": "{{content_for_header}}<script>console.log('foo')</script>"
}
}
This obviously doesn't work.
I just want to modify the <head> tag and insert some custom javascript. Also, ScriptTag won't be useful as I have to take some input from user, use that input in my javascript and then insert the snippet. Any help would be appreciated.

First you want to get a list of all assets to make sure you are using the right ID in the Endpoint URL. (the long number before /assets.json)
GET /admin/themes/#{id}/assets.json
Then you want to save a copy of the current file to the server as a backup, just to be safe...
PUT /admin/themes/#{id}/assets.json
{
"asset": {
"key": "layout\/theme.bak.liquid",
"source_key": "layout\/theme.liquid"
}
}
Since the method you are using overwrites the existing file, you need to download the current file, pull the HTML into a javascript variable, modify that HTML, then send the HTML back as you were doing above.
First download theme.liquid....
GET /admin/themes/#{id}/assets.json?asset[key]=layout/theme.liquid&theme_id=828155753
This will return the HTML etc.. for that file, you need to add/change the content of this file and then send that content as you were already ...
PUT /admin/themes/#{id}/assets.json
{
"asset": {
"key": "layout\/theme.liquid",
"value": "*****The HTML FOR THEME.LIQUID"
}
}
And that should do it. If it's successful the code should now be added.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
