Postman Collection

Get started quickly with our comprehensive Postman collection that includes all Reachu API endpoints, sample requests, and pre-configured environment variables.

Channel-Based Architecture​

Reachu uses a channel-based architecturewhere:

  • Products are accessed through your channel - Not directly
  • Each channel has its own product catalog - Filtered and scoped to your business
  • All product operations require channel context - /api/channel/products instead of /api/products

This ensures you only see and work with products relevant to your specific channel and business configuration.

Testing Tips​

  • Start with Channel: Always begin by testing /api/channel/products to understand your available inventory
  • Use Channel Context: Remember that all product operations are scoped to your channel - no direct product access
  • Sequential Testing: Start with creating a cart using the "Create shopping cart" request
  • Update Variables: Use the returned cart_id to update the cartId variable for subsequent requests
  • Check Response Data: Always check response data to get IDs for subsequent requests
  • Currency Parameter: Include currency parameter when getting products (e.g., ?currency=NOK)

Customizing Requests​

Environment Setup​

Create a new environment in Postman with these variables:

{
 "api": "https://api-qa.reachu.io",
 "authorization": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
 "cartId": "",
 "productId": "",
 "checkoutId": "",
 "categoryId": "",
 "currency": "NOK"
}

Testing Channel Products​

Before testing cart operations, verify your channel's product catalog:

# Get all channel products
GET {{api}}/api/channel/products?currency={{currency}}

# Get channel information
GET {{api}}/api/channel/me

# Get products by category
GET {{api}}/api/channel/products/category/{{categoryId}}

Authentication​

All requests use API Key authentication in the header:

Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
