Using the API

All methods are to be called through the /api/ gateway. For instance, http://www.mystore.com/api/carriers

Available HTTP methods

Most methods can be accessed in a REST manner, with the 5 main HTTP request methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD. The only exceptions are:

  • product_suppliers: only GET and HEAD.

  • search: only GET and HEAD.

  • stock_availables: only GET, POST, and HEAD.

  • stock_movements: only GET and HEAD.

  • stocks: only GET and HEAD.

  • supply_order_details: only GET and HEAD.

  • supply_order_histories: only GET and HEAD.

  • supply_order_receipt_histories: only GET and HEAD.

  • supply_order_states: only GET and HEAD.

  • supply_orders: only GET and HEAD.

  • warehouse_product_locations: only GET and HEAD.

  • warehouses: only GET, POST, PUT, and HEAD.

All methods have two optional types, which are simply to be added at the end of the URL:

  • ?blank: returns a blank XML tree of the chosen object.

  • ?synopsis: returns a blank XML tree of the chosen object, with the format that is expected for each value (see below) and specific indicators (ie, if the node is required, and its maximum size in number of characters).

Value formats

When displaying a data schema in synopsis mode, the API gives some useful indication of the expected data type.

For instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <customer>
    <id_default_group></id_default_group>
    <id_lang format="isUnsignedId"></id_lang>
    <newsletter_date_add></newsletter_date_add>
    <ip_registration_newsletter></ip_registration_newsletter>
    <last_passwd_gen></last_passwd_gen>
    <secure_key format="isMd5"></secure_key>
    <deleted format="isBool"></deleted>
    <passwd required="true" maxSize="32" format="isPasswd"></passwd>
    <lastname required="true" maxSize="32" format="isName"></lastname>
    <firstname required="true" maxSize="32" format="isName"></firstname>
    <email required="true" maxSize="128" format="isEmail"></email>
