How To Use Api

Store Builder in detail Hints & Modifications
#1

Wasn't sure where to ask this question.



Can anyone point me to the right place to learn how to use and implement cs-cart APIs from a beginner's stand-point?



I know nothing about APIs, but I'd love to learn and use it. From what I gather, I can display admin information (such as sales) on my own personal website using CS-Cart APIs. Is this correct?



I would love to get any website/documentation.



Thanks!

Have you already read this instruction API — CS-Cart 4.1.x documentation ?

We will try to explain you the unclear moments.

Yes, you can get common information for the list of orders and get detailed information about specific order. And get info about many other objects such as:


  • Categories
  • Orders
  • Payment Methods
  • Product Features
  • Products
  • Settings
  • Shipments
  • Shipping Methods
  • Statuses
  • Stores
  • Taxes
  • Users
