NOT authenticating users

Hi, is it possible to use your plugin for an unauthorized user?

Yes. When you add the first item to the cart you will get a cart key in the header response.

Use that cart key for all further requests by adding it to the endpoint like so: ?cart_key={cartkeygoeshere}

Thank you, but the API initialization wants some user’s authorization keys and then stores everything against that account. That doesn’t sound like unauthorized access to me.

API initialization wants some user’s authorization keys.

Can you explain more on what your doing and getting then for clarification?

On my domain shop.myproject.com I have wordpress running with woocomerce and your plugin.

On myproject.com domain I have VueJS application with products.

My idea is that every visitor of the site can make a purchase without registration.
I would add products to the cart through your plugin (CoCart.post(“cart/add-item”, data)…?).
When he wants to complete the order, I would send him to shop.myproject.com directly to the cart where he could complete the order.

Now I have a follow-up experiment:

const coCart = new CoCartAPI({
   url: "https://shop.myproject.com",
   consumerKey: 'ck_acf0ac0906c...8', // required
   consumerSecret: 'cs_ce9f6123...22, // required
});

(consumerKey, consumerSecret) are required and bound to the user registered in the e-shop.

Add to cart:

const data = {"quantity": "1", "id": "12"}
coCart.post("cart/add-item", data) // returns cart_key "1"

Load cart:
coCart.get("cart/items", {"cart_key": "1" }) // return error code 403

I don’t know if I’m doing everything right and if it’s even possible to achieve my idea.
If I need to buy a plugin, I have no problem, but I don’t know if it will help.

Thank you for an answer

Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are tokens created by WooCommerce API. Using these will authenticate the user they are assigned to.

Anyway, the CoCart JS Wrapper is designed for the REST API only!
