Getting Started with the DevDraft API (Using Your API Keys)

Overview

This guide walks you through how to authenticate with the DevDraft API using API keys. You’ll generate your keys, connect them to your application, and test a sample integration using the Product Store.

⚠️ Note: This guide does not cover checkout functionality. If you're looking for payment integration, refer to our Checkout Integration Guide.

🔑 Step 1: Generate Your API Keys

To interact with the DevDraft API, you’ll need a pair of API keys — a Key and a Secret.

Go to your DevDraft Dashboard.
Navigate to App Settings > API Keys.
Click "Create API Key".
A new Key and Secret pair will be created.
📋 Copy and store your keys securely — the secret will only be shown once.

💻 Step 2: Use Your Keys to Authenticate

Here’s a basic example of how you might use your keys in your application:

Example (Node.js)

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'your-key-here';
const API_SECRET = 'your-secret-here';

axios.get('https://api.devdraft.io/products', {
  headers: {
    'X-API-KEY': API_KEY,
    'X-API-SECRET': API_SECRET,
  },
}).then(response => {
  console.log(response.data);
});

🛡️ Always store secrets in environment variables — never hardcode them in production.

✅ What’s Next?

Once you're successfully fetching data from the API, you can explore other endpoints like:

/products
/inventory
/categories
