Use the APIs on instances running multiple sites

If you are running multiple sites on your Commerce instance, your REST calls need to specify which sites they apply to.

There are two ways to specify the site:
  • For calls to any of the APIs, you can specify the site using the x-ccsite header in the request.
  • For calls to the Store API, you can explicitly include the domain name of the applicable site in the URL.

Note that if you do not specify a site in a call to the Store API, the call is directed to the default site. (See Configure sites for a discussion of the default site.) If you do not specify a site in a call to the Admin API or the Agent API, the call is applied to the instance as a whole. For example, if you specify a site for the getOrders Admin endpoint, only orders associated with that site are returned; if you do not specify a site, orders associated with all sites are returned.

x-ccsite header

You can use the x-ccsite header to specify the site for an API call. For example, if you have two sites, siteA and siteB, you could use this call to return the orders for siteB: 
GET /ccadmin/v1/orders  HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
x-ccsite: siteB
