The REST APIs consist of several sets of endpoints:
The Store API endpoints provide access to the storefront.
The Admin API endpoints provide access to administrative functionality on the administration server. A subset of the Admin API endpoints, the Search and Navigation API endpoints, provides access to search functionality on the search server.
The Agent API endpoints provide access to agent functionality on the administration server.
The Social Wish Lists API endpoints are used to configure wish list features. This API is not described in this manual.
Each set of endpoints is different, although in many cases similar endpoints are available in multiple APIs. For example, the Store, Agent, and Admin APIs all have endpoints for working with orders, though they differ in the functions that they can perform.
Authentication is handled separately for each API. For example, logging into the Admin API does not give you access to the Agent endpoints. In addition, each API’s endpoints differ in terms of which user roles provide access to them. For example, an account with CS Agent permissions does not necessarily also include Administrator permissions. See Configure Internal User Accounts in Using Oracle Commerce Cloud for more information.
Note that each API is available only in certain environments:
The Admin API and Agent API are available on the administration server only.
The Store API is available primarily on the storefront server. It is also available on the administration server for previewing unpublished changes to the store.
You can find information about individual endpoints in the REST API documentation that is available through the Oracle Help Center:
http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/commercecs_gs/CXOCC/
Note that this documentation reflects the most recent version of Oracle Commerce Cloud. If you are currently using an earlier version of Commerce Cloud, the API documentation on the Oracle Help Center may include endpoints that are not available on your version.
