OpenAPI

We’re starting to move toward using OpenAPI for documentation. This is a work in progress, at the moment only a few APIs are documented.

• Content API (yaml)
• Discovery API (yaml)

Authentication

Authentication is achieved using the domain of the site that you own. For example, our demo site https://store.shift72.com is the endpoint used for api access. Think of this domain name as a ‘username’ when it comes to using the api. You also need to supply an api key, this will authenticate the requests as needed. Not all requests require authentication.

Example Request

curl -i 'https://store.shift72.com/services/users/auth/sign_up' \
     -d 'user[email]=me@email.com' \
     -d 'user[password]=password' \
     -X POST

curl -i 'https://store.shift72.com/services/users/auth/sign_in' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' \
     -d '{ "user": {
            "email":"user@example.com",
            "password":"123",
            "remember_me":false }
