AbleCommerce Gold Web Api
Contents
Introduction
AbleCommerce Web API allows you to interact with a subset of the store data. Currently its under development and only can be used to interact with the products data. It offers post / put / delete functionality.
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 products two controllers are available, one is admin and one is for retail. The admin controller require authorization and SSL, while the retail controller works over plain HTTP and does not require authentication. However it will only let you examine public products.
