Find Routes File For Magento 2 Rest API

controllersmagento2routes

I have inherited a Magento 2 site, and I am trying to find the rest api that is handling the checkout.

The route is <magento_site>/rest/default/V1/<checkout _information>.
As is, i have found a benchmark.jmx file that has the route, but no related PHP controller.

Where would I look to find the related file(s)?

Checking doesn't have just 1 API, you need to implement no of APIs to complete your checkout process.

Let's just get one example. To generate a quote id you can use this:

[BaseUrl]index.php/rest/V1/carts/mine (POST)

The above API will work on the frontend token of a user

carts/mine or another API route will be found in vendor/magento/module-quote/etc/webapi.xml in the relevant module.
In this file, you will find the Interface link and method name, interface then implemented on a model, and all your API logic can be found on that model file.

Like interface : Magento\Quote\Api\CartManagementInterface and method createEmptyCartForCustomer

Hope this will help you find the right file of your required API.

Magento – Magento 2: How to update mini cart after add product to cart from API

I am now running into this same issue. It appears to be related to the way the cart is cached in the browser's "local storage". I don't actually have a solution yet, unfortunately, but clearing the local storage in Chome refreshed my minicart.

There are some open bugs in Magento's GitHub:

It looks like a long standing bug. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Here are some related SE questions I'm working from right now:

My (current) solution is to request that the minicart component refresh by default on page load. This way if the user updates the cart via an API request somewhere else, when they reload the Magento site the cart refreshes.

Specifically, I override the minicart.js file and modified it to force the customerData to refresh in the initialize method every page load:

initialize: function () {
    var self = this,
        cartData = customerData.get('cart');
    ....
    // always clear minicart local storage cache, since we might be updating it via API call
    customerData.reload(['cart'], false);
    // if (cartData().website_id !== window.checkout.websiteId) {
    //     customerData.reload(['cart'], false);
    // }
    return this._super();
},

Magento – Magento 2 – Best approach for retrieving product data – REST API or Custom Endpoint

I recommend using the Rest API.

If the default Magento APIs can meet your requirements, should use it. We don’t need to spend money and time on creating the new one.
Security: APIs mostly need the security. Magento tried to do it for you.
