Generated Reference
Shopware generates schemas for both HTTP APIs that can be interpreted by API client libraries and documentation tools, such as Stoplight.io.
These schemas are generated using PHP annotations based on the swagger-php library. When building API extensions, you can also leverage these annotations to let Shopware generate standardized endpoint documentation for your custom endpoints on-the-fly.
WARNING
Due to security restrictions, your APP_ENV environment variable has to be set to dev to access any of the specifications described below.
Stoplight
The easiest way to access the generated schema is Stoplight. Stoplight is a collaborative platform equipping your team with tooling across the API lifecycle that helps them build quality APIs efficiently. Shopware already ships with these user interfaces. They are accessible at the following endpoint relative to their respective base path:
/(api|store-api)/_info/stoplightio.htmlINFO
The above path is relative and contains api (Admin API) and store-api seperated by a pipe. Please choose the appropriate option.
You will find a list of all generic endpoints (entity endpoints like product, category, etc.) for the Admin API here api/_info/stoplightio.html?type=jsonapi#/ or access it via the top navigation bar.
OpenAPI schema
If you don't want to bother with the UI but just fetch the schema definition instead, use the following endpoint:
/(api|store-api)/_info/openapi3.jsonEntity schema
If you would like to access the schema definitions of all available entities instead of an endpoint reference, use one of the corresponding schema endpoints instead:
/(api|store-api)/_info/open-api-schema.json
