## API Updates for February 8, 2024

**API**

* Store-level API accounts now have dedicated scopes for working with metafields. These [scopes](/developer/docs/overview/api-fundamentals/api-accounts) are helpful for API consumers who wish to prevent their metafields from interference.

* We now have more [query examples](/developer/api-reference/graphql/account/overview#example-requests) for the Users feature of the GraphQL Account API. Account admins can include `collectionInfo` and `totalItems` in your query requests to collect the total number of items in the collection.

* The [Get Store Information](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/management/store-information/v2/get-store-information) endpoint now returns information about storefront limits! The new data includes the number of active storefronts and the total number of storefronts, including inactive ones.

* The [Get All Orders](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/management/orders) parameters now include `external_order_id`. You can add the parameter to your request to include Order IDs from external systems.

* Updated the [Delete All Pricelist](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/management/price-lists) endpoint’s parameter to include the `in` value. To run a request to delete multiple pricelists, you must pair the `in` value with the `id` value: `id:in`.

**Bug Fixes**

* Corrected the `option_id` type from a number to an integer in `option_selections` on [POSTS Carts V3](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/management/carts/carts-single/create-cart).

* Removed unused and empty allOf sections in webhooks.v3.yml.

* Added clarity around the usage of [stored PayPal accounts](/developer/docs/admin/checkout-and-cart/payments).

* We fixed an error in the category attributes schema in the Stencil [Front matter reference](/developer/docs/storefront/stencil/themes/context/frontmatter-reference). Setting product limits should now be clearer!

* We’ve updated the `shipping_provider` property throughout the [Orders V2](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/management/orders/order-shipments/create-order-shipments) specification to allow arbitrary strings. This update better indicates support for new and custom shipping providers and improves API client autogeneration.

* Fixed categories_catalog.v3.yml to ensure it is a valid Swagger format.

* Added some missing title fields to product-variants_catalog.v3.yml and category-trees_catalog.v3.yml API specification.
