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.
