Retail controllers are accessible to everyone (e.g. Product and Category controllers), while the admin controllers require SSL and authorization. Though all admin level users can access the admin controllers but to allow third parties to access the Web API without full admin rights a new User Role "Web API Access" is created. So, this way merchants can grant right to access Web API to specific users by assigning them to "Web API Access" role. For example Order, Shipment and User controllers require authorization and users with at least "Web API Access" rights can access those.

Introduction

AbleCommerce Web API allows you to interact with a subset of the store data. It can be used to interact with a subset of all data including Products, Categories, Users, Orders, Order Items and Order Shipments. It offers post / put / delete functionality for these domains.


The Web API includes a help documentation generator and test harness. The help documentation can be accessed using a URL like this:


/api/help


This will list an index of all available functions. Clicking through to one of the functions shows examples. The test buttons on the help pages can be used to specify/send formatted data and read the responses. For detailed and up to date information about API usage check the integrated api help.

For the above mentioned domains mostly two controllers are available for each, one is admin and one is for retail. The admin controller requires authorization and SSL, while the retail controller works over plain HTTP and does not require authentication. However retail controller will only let you examine public data. This is discussed in more details in next section.


Managing Web API Access

Retail controllers are accessible to everyone (e.g. Product and Category controllers), while the admin controllers require SSL and authorization. Though all admin level users can access the admin controllers but to allow third parties to access the Web API without full admin rights a new User Role "Web API Access" is created. So, this way merchants can grant right to access Web API to specific users by assigning them to "Web API Access" role. For example Order, Shipment and User controllers require authorization and users with at least "Web API Access" rights can access those.

Version and Update History

A basic Web API feature was added for AbleCommerce Gold R4, and improved continuously with later releases.

For AbleCommerce Gold R7 new admin and retail controllers were added for Category domain. And following new API end points were added for Products domain:

/api/products/featured

/api/products/topsellers

/api/products/recentlyviewed

/api/products/[productid]/related

/api/products/[productid]/accessories


For AbleCommerce Gold R12 new admin and retail controllers for Users, Orders, Order Items and Order Shipments are added.

Requirements

Web API requires IIS7 using Integrated Pipeline mode.
