Modelling Cart APIs

[Vikash_Kodati]

Hello,

Has anyone tried modeling APIs for CART functionality in APIGEE? Can any discuss/share the general pattern?

e.g.,

1. POST /carts
2. POST /carts/validations
3. POST /carts/quotations to return a full quote
4. POST /orders { cartId=1234, CC-CVV=123 } - returns the full order

Hi @VikashKodati,

Apigee has an OpenCommerce Solution that can be used as a starting point.

It includes products, product search, carts and order status. It treats cart items as a single entity or sub-resource on the cart, rather than a collection of items. So its a bit unclear how you would modify a single cart item. In any case here is a summary, but do check out the site.

• POST /carts
• GET /carts/{cartId}
• PUT /carts/{cartId}
• DELETE /carts/{cartId}

• POST /carts/{cartId}/items
• PUT /carts/{cartId}/items
• DELETE /carts/{cartId}/items

Order status

• GET /orders
• GET /orders/{orderId}

There is no order creation or payment capture APIs, but it would make sense to have something like:

• POST /payments { auth amount }
• POST /orders { cart details, payment details for capture }

The question remains on how to validate the cart for eligible combinations, to calculate total taxes, shipping charges, etc., perhaps:

• POST /quotations { cart details }

Hope that helps,

Kurt
