Quick Start

Make your first request to the View REST API in minutes!

This API is intended for client-side use and is read-only.

Local Development

Authentication Token

Every instance of Mercury generates a token that can be passed to Mercury to fetch a respective stores content from anywhere.

Visit the settings area of Mercury to see your BypassToken.

In production apps, approved domain names are used to fetch a store's content, but a token can also be specified.

Bypass Tokens are useful for local development - however, abuse of a token will result in it being removed and a new token generated.

Production Mercury relies on the Origin verification method over the token method

Make Your First Request

To make your first request, send a request to the /search endpoint. This will fetch some of your published products.

To make the request, use a networking client of your choice or follow this example using fetch:

fetch('https://mercury.plutocracy.io/search/{term}?' + new URLSearchParams({
    bypassToken: 'your token'
}))
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));
