API

For using OpenCart API you should enable it previously, via admin part of you're site.
Go to System->Users->API and you'll see a predefined user named "Default".
Edit it - and the are no API-key so generate it, by pressing the button and set "Status" to enable.
Next, add you'r IP to list of permitted for API access on another tab.

API is avaliable via URL like

http://myopencart.example.com/index.php?route=api/cart/add

where route is using choose appropriate controller.

NOTES:

  • API users always have customer_id as '0'. And have the own api_id.
  • I'll us python-requests library for this examples, but the main idea is describing parameters so console curl will be fine enough.
  • And in descriptions I'll assume what we have "oc_" prefix on DB tables.

Firstly, you can and definitly should get token for you session - you'll get cookie file and OpenCart server will identify activity by this way.

import requests

s = requests.Session()

username = 'Default'
key='L3MYyzlYMRL8gBcpCm6CdrVarFUXtPORZkJKP7vgaY8M8EIZWOr3EJxq'
# Actually, key is 256 character-long

s.post(
    'http://myopencart.example.com/index.php?route=api/login',
    data={'username':username, 'key':key}
).text

If everything was done right, you'll get json-response with api_token for you'r session. Check site admin API page, edit API user and open "Sessions" tab - you can see established session.
