Reflow API

Reflow has a simple API that lets you fetch your store's subscribers, users and products as JSON. It can be used both in the browser (from any origin), and in scripts when building static versions of your store with site generators or Next.js. Note that some endpoints require authentication with an API key.

Subscriptions​

The following API endpoints will help you integrate Reflow Subscriptions in your project.

Get all Subscription Plans​

GET https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/plans/

This API endpoint will return all active subscription plans and prices. Note that only plans that can be subscribed to will show up here. Plans that have been created but are deactivated, archived or deleted will not appear in the list.

Example​

// Print all subscription plans of the store
let plans = await fetch(
  "https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/267418190/plans/"
).then((r) => r.json());
console.log(plans.data);

Get a Specific Subscription Plan​

GET https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/plans/<planid>

This API endpoint will return the details of a single subscription plan. Both active and inactive plans can be requested with this endpoint.

Example​

// Print all subscription plans of the store
let plan = await fetch(
  "https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/267418190/plans/13156819"
).then((r) => r.json());
console.log(plan);

Auth​

The following API endpoints let you retrieve data objects related to the Reflow Auth service.

Get all User Accounts​

GET https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/users/
Authentication Required

Requests to this endpoint require authentication using a Reflow API Key.

This endpoint will return the latest 20 users registered in your store. You can modify its behavior with query parameters (all are optional):

ParameterPossible ValuesDescription
pagenumber, defaults to 1If set, will return the corresponding page number of users.
perpagenumber, min 1, max 100, defaults to 20How many users to return per page.

Examples​

# In the following examples, replace <storeid> with the id of your store
# and <api_key> with an api key string token.

# Print all of the users
curl --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
     'https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/users/'

Get a Specific User Account​

GET https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/users/<userid>
Authentication Required

Requests to this endpoint require authentication using a Reflow API Key.

This endpoint will return the user with the given id from a store.

Examples​

# Fetch the given user account
# Replace <storeid> with the id of your store, <userid> with the id of
# the user you want to fetch, and <api_key> with an api key string token.
curl --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
     'https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/users/<userid>'

Ecommerce​

You can use the following API endpoints for integration with Reflow's Ecommerce functionality.

Get Products​

GET https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/<storeid>/products/

This endpoint will return an array of products from your store. You can modify its behavior with query parameters (all are optional):

ParameterPossible ValuesDescription
pagenumber, defaults to 1If set, will return the corresponding page number of products.
perpagenumber, min 1, max 100, defaults to 20How many products to return per page.
categorynumber, the id of the categoryIf set, only returns products from the given category.
searchstring, search termsIf set, only returns products which contain the search string in the name or product description.
idsstring, comma-separated list of ids

If set, only returns products with ids included in the provided list.

Example: ?ids=1234567,4444444,878787

A maximum of 100 product ids can be passed.

order

name_asc, name_desc, price_asc, price_desc, date_asc, date_desc, custom_asc, custom_desc

Choose the display order of the products. Defaults to date_desc - products will be shown newest to oldest.

You can also perform multiple sorts by separating order clauses with commas:

Example: ?order=custom_desc,name_asc

This sorts products by using the Custom Sort number (which you enter in the product edit page), and then by name from A to Z. The result is that products with Custom Sort > 0 show before the rest.

Examples​

// Print the 20 newest products
let products = await fetch(
  "https://api.reflowhq.com/v2/stores/267418190/products/"

Usage with the Reflow HTML Toolkit​

If you have the Reflow JS file included in a web page, you can use a convenience wrapper that gives you direct access to the API, without having to pass the full API URL and store id:

// Fetch a product and print its name using the Reflow library.
// https://cdn.reflowhq.com/v2/toolkit.min.js has been included in the page.
let product = await Reflow.api("/products/366797633");
console.log(product.name);

// Print the 20 newest products
let product = await Reflow.api("/products/");
console.log(product.data);

This way you can retrieve your product data and build entirely custom store experiences, but still add an Add to Cart button and a Shopping Cart so that the Reflow toolkit does the heavy lifting.
