What Can You Do with the API?

The DrivenCart API allows you to programmatically interact with your deals, affiliates, and customer data. Perfect for:

  • Automating deal creation and updates
  • Fetching sales data for reporting and analytics
  • Managing affiliate relationships programmatically
  • Integrating with your own systems and workflows
  • Building custom dashboards and tools
  • Syncing data with third-party platforms

Getting Started

Step 1: Get Your API Key

  1. Log in to your DrivenCart dashboard
  2. Navigate to Dashboard → API Docs
  3. Your unique API key will be displayed at the top
  4. Copy the API key and store it securely

Step 2: Authentication

Include your API key in the request header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Step 3: Make API Calls

Example: Fetch your deals list

curl -X GET https://drivencart.com/api/deals \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Available API Endpoints

Navigate to Dashboard → API Docs to view the complete list of available endpoints with:

  • Detailed endpoint descriptions

Response Format

All API responses are returned in JSON format:

  },
  "error": null
}

Error responses include a descriptive message:

}

Rate Limits

To ensure fair usage and system stability:

  • Standard users: 100 requests per minute

  • If you exceed the limit, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests error
  • Implement exponential backoff when rate limited

Security Best Practices

  • Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories
  • Regenerate your API key immediately if it's compromised
  • Use HTTPS for all API requests
  • Store API keys in environment variables, not in your codebase
  • Implement proper error handling in your integration
  • Monitor your API usage regularly in the dashboard
