Secret API keys can be generated in the Spree admin dashboard. ## Response Format All responses are JSON. List endpoints return paginated responses with `data` and `meta` keys. Single resource endpoints return a flat JSON object. ## Resource IDs Every resource is identified by an opaque string ID (e.g. `prod_86Rf07xd4z`, `variant_k5nR8xLq`, `or_UkLWZg9DAJ`). Use these IDs everywhere — URL paths, request bodies, and Ransack filters all accept them directly. ## Error Handling Errors return a consistent format: ```json { "error": { "code": "validation_error", "message": "Validation failed", "details": { "name": ["can't be blank"] } } } ``` version: v3 servers: - url: http://{defaultHost} variables: defaultHost: default: localhost:3000 security: [] tags: - name: Authentication description: Admin user authentication - name: Product Catalog description: Products, variants, and option types - name: Orders description: >- Order management — orders, items, payments, fulfillments, refunds, gift cards, store credits - name: Customers description: Customer management — profiles, addresses, store credits, credit cards - name: Configuration description: Store configuration — payment methods, tag autocomplete paths: /api/v3/admin/orders: get: tags: - Orders summary: List orders description: |- Returns a paginated list of orders for the current store. **Required scope:** `read_orders` (for API-key authentication). parameters: - name: x-spree-api-key in: header required: true schema: type: string - name: Authorization in: header required: true description: Bearer token for admin authentication schema: type: string - name: page in: query required: false description: Page number schema: type: integer - name: limit in: query required: false description: Number of records per page schema: type: integer - name: sort in: query required: false description: Sort field (e.g., created_at, -created_at, completed_at) schema: type: string - name: q[state_eq] in: query required: false description: >- Filter by state (cart, address, delivery, payment, confirm, complete, canceled) schema: type: string - name: q[email_cont] in: query required: false description: Filter by email (contains) schema: type: string - name: q[number_eq] in: query required: false description: Filter by order number schema: type: string - name: q[completed_at_gt] in: query required: false description: Filter by completed after date schema: type: string - name: expand in: query required: false description: >- Comma-separated associations to expand (e.g., items, fulfillments, payments, customer, discounts, billing_address, shipping_address).
