As such, the API reference is incomplete and subject to change, so please use it with caution. This API reference includes Medusa's Store APIs, which are REST APIs exposed by the Medusa application. They are used to create a storefront for your commerce store, such as a webshop or a commerce mobile app. All API Routes are prefixed with `/store`. So, during development, the API Routes will be available under the path `http://localhost:9000/store`. For production, replace `http://localhost:9000` with your Medusa application URL. ## Authentication There are two ways to send authenticated requests to the Medusa application: Using a JWT token or using a Cookie Session ID. ### Bearer Authorization with JWT Tokens Use a JWT token in a request's bearer authorization header to send authenticated requests. Authentication state is managed by the client, which is ideal for Jamstack applications and mobile applications. #### How to Obtain the JWT Token {/* TODO add correct link to auth route */} JWT tokens are obtained by sending a request to the authentication route passing it the customer's email and password in the request body. For example: ```bash curl -X POST '{backend_url}/auth/store/emailpass' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{ "email": "user@example.com", "password": "supersecret" }' ``` {/* TODO add link to implementing login with google guide. */} Alternatively, you can use the `google` provider instead of `emailpass`. If authenticated successfully, an object is returned in the response with the property `token` being the JWT token. #### How to Use the JWT Token Pass the JWT token in the authorization bearer header: ```bash Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token} ``` --- ### Cookie Session ID When you authenticate a customer and create a cookie session ID for them, the cookie session ID is passed automatically when sending the request from the browser, or with tools like Postman. ### How to Obtain the Cookie Session To obtain a cookie session ID, you must have a [JWT token for bearer authentication](#bearer-authorization-with-jwt-tokens). {/* TODO add a link to the session authentication route. */} Then, send a request to the session authentication API route. To view the cookie session ID, pass the `-v` option to the `curl` command: ```bash curl -v -X POST '{backend_url}/auth/session' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}' ``` The headers will be logged in the terminal as well as the response. You should find in the headers a Cookie header similar to this: ```bash Set-Cookie: connect.sid=s%3A2Bu8BkaP9JUfHu9rG59G16Ma0QZf6Gj1.WT549XqX37PN8n0OecqnMCq798eLjZC5IT7yiDCBHPM; ``` #### How to Use the Cookie Session ID in cURL Copy the value after `connect.sid` (without the `;` at the end) and pass it as a cookie in subsequent requests as the following: ```bash curl '{backend_url}/store/products' \ -H 'Cookie: connect.sid={sid}' ``` Where `{sid}` is the value of `connect.sid` that you copied. #### Including Credentials in the Fetch API If you're sending requests using JavaScript's Fetch API, you must pass the `credentials` option with the value `include` to all the requests you're sending. For example: ```js fetch(`/store/products`, { credentials: "include", }) ``` ## Publishable API Key Publishable API Keys allow you to send a request with a pre-defined scope. You can associate the publishable API key with one or more resources, such as sales channels, then include the publishable API key in the header of your requests. The Medusa application will infer the scope of the current request based on the publishable API key. At the moment, publishable API keys only work with sales channels. It's highly recommended to create a publishable API key and pass it in the header of all your requests to the store APIs. {/* TODO add link to the v2 guide */} {/* You can learn more about publishable API keys and how to use them in [this documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/development/publishable-api-keys/). */} ### How to Create a Publishable API Key {/* TODO add v2 links */} Create a publishable API key either using the admin REST APIs, or using the Medusa Admin. ### How to Use a Publishable API Key You can pass the publishable API key in the header `x-publishable-api-key` in all your requests to the store APIs: ```bash x-publishable-api-key: {your_publishable_api_key} ``` ## HTTP Compression If you've enabled HTTP Compression in your Medusa configurations, and you want to disable it for some requests, you can pass the `x-no-compression` header in your requests: ```bash x-no-compression: true ``` ## Select Fields and Relations Many API Routes accept a `fields` query that allows you to select which fields and relations should be returned in a record. Fields and relations are separated by a comma `,`. For example: ```bash curl 'localhost:9000/store/products?fields=title,handle' ``` This returns only the `title` and `handle` fields of a product. ### Fields Operator By default, only the selected fields and relations are returned in the response. Before every field or relation, you can pass one of the following operators to change the default behavior: - `+`: Add the field to the fields returned by default. For example, `+title` returns the `title` field along with the fields returned by default. - `-`: Remove the field from the fields returned by default. For example, `-title` removes the `title` field from the fields returned by default. ### Select Relations To select a relation, pass to `fields` the relation name prefixed by `*`. For example: ```bash curl 'localhost:9000/store/products?fields=*variants' ``` This returns the variants of each product. ### Select Fields in a Relation The `*` prefix selects all fields of the relation's data model. To select a specific field, pass a `.` suffix instead of the `*` prefix. For example, `variants.title`. To specify multiple fields, pass each of the fields with the `.` format, separated by a comma. For example: ```bash curl 'localhost:9000/store/products?fields=variants.title,variants.sku' ``` This returns the variants of each product, but the variants only have their `id`, `title`, and `sku` fields. The `id` is always included. ## Query Parameter Types This section covers how to pass some common data types as query parameters. This is useful if you're sending requests to the API Routes and not using our JS Client. For example, when using cURL or Postman. ### Strings You can pass a string value in the form of `=`. For example: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?title=Shirt" ``` If the string has any characters other than letters and numbers, you must encode them. For example, if the string has spaces, you can encode the space with `+` or `%20`: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?title=Blue%20Shirt" ``` You can use tools like [this one](https://www.urlencoder.org/) to learn how a value can be encoded. ### Integers You can pass an integer value in the form of `=`. For example: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?offset=1" ``` ### Boolean You can pass a boolean value in the form of `=`. For example: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?is_giftcard=true" ``` ### Date and DateTime You can pass a date value in the form `=`. The date must be in the format `YYYY-MM-DD`. For example: ```bash curl -g "http://localhost:9000/store/products?created_at[lt]=2023-02-17" ``` You can also pass the time using the format `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`. Please note that the `T` and `Z` here are fixed. For example: ```bash curl -g "http://localhost:9000/store/products?created_at[lt]=2023-02-17T07:22:30Z" ``` ### Array Each array value must be passed as a separate query parameter in the form `[]=`. You can also specify the index of each parameter in the brackets `[0]=`. For example: ```bash curl -g "http://localhost:9000/store/products?sales_channel_id[]=sc_01GPGVB42PZ7N3YQEP2WDM7PC7&sales_channel_id[]=sc_234PGVB42PZ7N3YQEP2WDM7PC7" ``` Note that the `-g` parameter passed to `curl` disables errors being thrown for using the brackets. Read more [here](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-g). ### Object Object parameters must be passed as separate query parameters in the form `[]=`. For example: ```bash curl -g "http://localhost:9000/store/products?created_at[lt]=2023-02-17&created_at[gt]=2022-09-17" ``` ## Pagination ### Query Parameters In listing API Routes, such as list products, you can control the pagination using the query parameters `limit` and `offset`. `limit` is used to specify the maximum number of items to be returned in the response. `offset` is used to specify how many items to skip before returning the resulting records. Use the `offset` query parameter to change between pages. For example, if the limit is `50`, at page `1` the offset should be `0`; at page `2` the offset should be `50`, and so on. For example: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?limit=5" ``` ### Response Fields In the response of listing API Routes, aside from the records retrieved, there are three pagination-related fields returned: - `limit`: the maximum number of items that can be returned in the response. - `offset`: the number of items that were skipped before the records in the result. - `count`: the total number of available items of this data model. It can be used to determine how many pages are there. For example, if the `count` is `100` and the `limit` is `50`, divide the `count` by the `limit` to get the number of pages: `100/50 = 2 pages`. ### Sort Order The `order` field (available on API Routes that support pagination) allows you to sort the retrieved items by a field of that item. For example, pass the query parameter `order=created_at` to sort products by their `created_at` field: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?order=created_at" ``` By default, the sort direction is ascending. To change it to descending, pass a dash (`-`) before the field name. For example: ```bash curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?order=-created_at" ``` This sorts the products by their `created_at` field in the descending order.
