# The Global Catalog REST API stops working

Calls to /global/* on Shopify Global Catalog API stopped working on November 2, 2026.

On November 2, 2026, the REST API stopped serving traffic. Requests to /global/* now fail. The API was previously deprecated in April 2026.

## What to use instead

Migrate each call to the Global Catalog MCP server. Use search_catalog for /global/v2/search, get_product for /global/v2/p/{upid} and variant lookups, and lookup_catalog for /global/v2/lookup. This transition requires rewriting the integration because the replacement uses an MCP server with UCP catalog schemas rather than a REST endpoint.

The replacement is an MCP server with the UCP catalog schemas, not a REST endpoint: the integration is rewritten.
