Bookstore Management API

The Bookstore Management API brings bookseller workflows to your bookstore app. Use it to build custom apps for any store: new or used, general or specialty, online or off.

This documentation contains everything you need to test and implement the Bookstore Management API.

The Bookstore Management API supports:

• Comprehensive book inventory management.
• CRUD operations on your inventory, customer, and order databases.
• Integration with point-of-sale systems.

Get Started

Install a mock API service and send your first request.

• Test with JSON Server — Test locally with no integration.
• Get store inventory — Get an example list of books in stock.

Tutorials

Review common workflows and build them into your app.

• Create an order — Get a book and create a customer; use them in a new order.
• Update a store — Update the books in stock; edit customer and order details.
• Get orders by customer or date — Use query parameters to list orders by different criteria.
