API-ACCESS for automated EXTRACTION of PhocaCart-Data

Post by CRM-Hero »

Hello Folks, hello Jan,

I just registered and I am keen on exchanging information and understanding/improving PhocaCart.
I have studied intensively the web and this forum but could not find solutions.
Several different issues are addressed and that is why I am opening different threads.

  1. API-ACCESS for automated EXTRACTION OF PHOCA CART DATA
    1. How to access Phoca Cart Modules and Views (Databank Lists, Queries)
      • with API from an external application
    2. Especially Phoca Cart: Orders (Order List)
      • to access with API from an external application
      • most importantly: API address path
    3. Same for: Phoca Cart Customers (Customer List)
      • to access with API from an external application
      • API address path
  2. Joomla Web-Services is installed
    1. Using Postman as an API-tool, with Bearer Joomla-token
    2. Access to Joomly Components WORKS FINE
    3. Access to Joomla-Customers is also possible
    4. Example adress:
      https://Your_Web_Adress/api/index.php/v1/modules/site
Thanks in advance
Roland

Current System:
Joomla 4.3.4
PhocaCart 4.0.7

Hi, Joomla uses webservices plugins for this kind of operations. For now such plugin for Phoca Cart is under development. But really no idea when it will be released:

Hi Jan,

I have installed the PhocaCart-WebService Plug-In:
  • but there is no change in what was available already before installation
    (Maybe because I had already Joomla-WebServices installed ?)
  • it shows a number of PhocaCart Modules (as before)
  • https://My_Web_Adress/api/index.php/v1/modules/site
Any advice on what the plug-in is supposed to make different ?

PS:
I am looking for a module listing/showing Customer-Orders

Regards Roland
