Quickstart
Quickstart
From zero to a working API call in five minutes.
By the end of this guide you'll have a Sellvik shop, two API keys (one for
servers, one for browsers), and a working curl command that lists products
from your shop.
Prerequisites
- A shop on Sellvik. If you don't have one, sign up at sellvik.com — the free tier is enough for everything in this guide.
curl(or any HTTP client; we usecurlbecause it's universal).- A text editor.
The five-minute path
- Get your API keys. Mint an admin key and a publishable key from the merchant panel.
- Fire your first request. A health check, then your first authenticated call.
- Fetch products. List, search, and page through your catalog.
- Next steps. Where to go after the basics work.
Conventions used in this guide
<shop-subdomain>is the slug you picked at signup, e.g.acmeforacme.sellvik.com.<admin-key>is a string starting withsk_live_.<publishable-key>is a string starting withpk_live_.
Wherever you see those placeholders, substitute the real value. Never paste an admin key into a code snippet that runs in a browser — see Authentication for why.
