API Updates for March 14, 2024

API

  • The newly released price list and price list records webhooks are now available. Now, you can add events and use batch price lists and price list record events where appropriate.

  • Added BigCommerce terms of service and privacy policy to endpoints, which included adding a product video, such as Create a Product Video.

  • Updated the Create Categories endpoint to auto-generate category URLs from the category name when you don’t provide the URL.

  • BigCommerce’s Storefront GraphQL now supports customer-specific mutations in a beta release. Access to customer data in the graph makes it easier for front-end developers to create customer-specific experiences for their headless storefronts as guest shoppers transition to registered customer accounts.

    Key use cases now supported by customer mutations are:

    • Register a Customer

    • Update a Customer

    • Add a Customer Address

    • Update a Customer Address

    • Delete a Customer Address

    • Change Password

    • Request a Password Reset

    • Reset Password

API Updates for March 7, 2024

Bug Fixes

  • Updated the discount_amount definition in Checkout Coupons endpoints.

  • Corrected the shipping consignment example in the Add Consignment to Checkout endpoint.

  • Corrected the type for external_order_id query parameter in the Get All Orders endpoint.

  • Added “read-only” and removed the enum of accepted values for tax_provider_id on OrdersV2 Create/update.

  • Fixed a bug that shows duplication of default_currency_code and billing_address fields in the OrdersV2 API response body.

  • The variants collection of product nodes now contains an SKU filter to filter the collection of variants by one or more SKU codes.

  • Removed contradictory information regarding adding YAML front matter to the templates/pages subdirectory. Thank you Matt Coy from Arctic Leaf for assisting with this issue.

  • We’ve updated the blog feature specification in Store Content to note that the is_published field defaults to false on both POST and PUT. Pass true to avoid reverting the post to draft status.

  • We’ve clarified that some 422 errors in calls to the Channel Listings feature of the Management API include a group_id, which is the same as the listing_id of the request.

  • We’re continuing to convert query params that provide comma-separated lists to unexploded form-style arrays, making generated API clients more efficient.

API Updates for February 22, 2024

API

  • Added the date_last_imported field to the product model. The field format is a nullable datetime string (e.g., “2024-01-24T14:36:56+00:00”). The field is modifiable and filterable.

  • We’re happy to announce that you can add a set of query_parameters to the Create Cart Redirect URL when redirecting the shopper. For example, specifying query_params =[“utm_source” => “mailchimp”] in a request captures the utm_source parameter. When the shopper clicks on the redirect URL to proceed to the checkout page, the appended link will appear as /checkout?utm_source=mailchimp.

Bug Fixes

  • Renamed the “Get All Metafields” reference titles to be more relevant to the resource type you want to retrieve and to prevent duplicate names across different schemas.

  • We’ve updated the Creating Channels section of the Headless Guide to provide more clarity around the order of the steps in the channel creation process.

  • The correct schema is now available for Create a Refund. Previous Request Body and Response Body examples displayed reason in the order level and items level.

  • Added titles to Catalog response schemas. These changes will make return types more readable for users using our docs to generate clients.

  • Changed primary_images to primary_image for the include query parameter for the Category API’s Get All Products endpoint.
