# Volusion API

Volusion e-commerce platform API. Manage products, orders, customers, and store settings. The API exposes 17 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically create product, list products. Covers 17 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

## Capabilities

- Create product
- List products
- Get product
- Update product
- Delete product

## Use cases

### E-Commerce Operations

Use the Volusion API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 17 endpoints covering core functionality including create product, list products, get product.

Example prompt: Call POST /products to create product

### Automated Products Management

Automate products operations by combining multiple Volusion API endpoints. Agents can list products and then get product in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /products to list products, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Volusion API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'create product', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring Volusion by hand means setting its API key in the Authorization header against api.volusion.com and managing the product and order calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Volusion from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Volusion puts the product and order ids in the URL path (`/products/{productId}`, `/orders/{orderId}`), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one product or order. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like product deletion are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your Volusion API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a product' or 'list orders', and Jentic returns the matching Volusion operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Volusion API use?

The Volusion API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I create product with the Volusion API?

Yes. Use the POST /products endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Volusion API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

### How do I create product through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create product'. Jentic returns the matching Volusion API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Volusion API have?

The Volusion API exposes 17 endpoints covering products, orders, customers operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Volusion API?

Yes. Because you self-host Jentic One, your own rules decide which Volusion operations and credentials your agent can use. Volusion puts product and order ids in the URL path, such as `/products/{productId}` and `/orders/{orderId}`, so you can pin the agent to reading a single product or order. You also choose which operations it may call, so destructive ones like product deletion stay out unless you explicitly add them.
