Building Custom Wishlists with Swym APIs

Last updated June 10, 2024

Introduction

Creating custom wishlists using Swym’s APIs allows you to provide a tailored shopping experience for your customers. This guide walks you through the process of building and integrating custom wishlists into your e-commerce platform.

Steps to Build Custom Wishlists

  1. Setting Up Your Development Environment:
  • Ensure you have a working development environment with access to your e-commerce platform’s backend.
  • Install necessary libraries and tools for making API requests (e.g., Axios for JavaScript, Requests for Python).
  1. Obtaining API Credentials:
  • Log in to your Swym account and navigate to "API Settings."
  • Generate and securely store your API key for authenticating requests.
  1. Creating a Wishlist:
  • Use the /wishlist/create endpoint to create a new wishlist.
  • Send a POST request with required parameters such as user_id and wishlist_name.
  1. Adding Items to the Wishlist:
  • Use the /wishlist/add-item endpoint to add products to a wishlist.
  • Provide the wishlist_id, product_id, and any additional item details in the request body.
  1. Retrieving Wishlist Items:
  • Use the /wishlist/get-items endpoint to retrieve all items in a specific wishlist.
  • Send a GET request with the wishlist_id to fetch the list of products.
  1. Customizing the Wishlist UI:
  • Develop a front-end interface to display the wishlist. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a user-friendly layout.
  • Make asynchronous API calls to dynamically update the wishlist content without reloading the page.
  1. Testing and Deployment:
  • Thoroughly test the wishlist functionality to ensure it works as expected.
  • Deploy the custom wishlist feature to your live e-commerce site and monitor its performance.
