Our read-only API returns variables in JSON or XML format so that you can embed your store data on an external website or use it in a custom application or service.

Usage

You can use the API to access certain variables by accessing different URLs in your store and adding either .js or .xml to the end.

All URLs must be in the format of:

  http://api.bigcartel.com/{yoursubdomain}/{method}.{format}

For example:

  http://api.bigcartel.com/mystore/products.js
