Hi, I'm exploring the API, and I understand how to fetch a cart and a product using the API. My question now is if there is a way to add a product through the API?

I am afraid, no

If you are referring to adding a product to a cart, no, the API doesn't support it.  Years ago we created a controller/mode to add-to-cart/checkout from a remote location via a GET request.  Ie. to add a product to a user's cart and either go to cart or go right to checkout.  It was intended to use in blogs or remote advertising.

 

As far as I know it still works and is free.  You can fetch it from https://ez-ms.com/pr...out.pre.php.txtand you can modify it to suit your needs. 

 

If you are asking about adding a product via the API there is most certainly a create() method in the Products.php entity.

I see, then do you know how the the mobile app from CS Cart add products to the cart? Do they send a request to a dispatch, then in the dispatch, they retrieve the cart, add the product, then save the cart to the database? And then retrieve the cart again on mobile?

Alternatively, could I extend the API to do this? In the parameters for my extension I would give the user id, and then product ID and then run the fn_add_product_to_cart function and then save the cart through fn_save_cart_content?

CS-Cart contains invisible module called storefront_rest_api. Looks like it do what you need. But it does not have any documentation. If you are familiar with PHP, examine the module to find a way to add products to cart through API

And the module storefront_rest_api is very easy to extend by own custom addons.

 

We have created a full frontend with the storefront_rest_api. It is fully integrated in our community framework.

 

But you must be logged (the User who is using the cart) in, to use the cart by storefront_rest_api.

Hi, thanks for this. Where are the files for the storefront_rest_api located?

[bebopboy]

Nevermind, I found it. I assume it's not as easy as using it the same way the normal API is used? Because I keep getting "The Entity is not found, when I use the names of their classes". Any hint on how to use them? Or a specific file I should look into?

could you please help to get all information of user in user API like address,city etc
