Creating products is a must for every business running on an eCommerce website. That is the reason. Today Beehexa will show you how to create a product using Postman with Wix API.
If this is the first time you make a call in the Postman, you must generate API credentials from the Wix Developers website.
Step 1: Generate API credentials from the Wix Developers’ Website.
Follow the process in Wix API: How to get an access token and refresh the access token? To know how to access Wix API.
- After creating an app, remember the access token and the refresh token to send requests in the Postman.
Step 2: Refresh the access token using Postman.
Wix’s access token is only valid for 5 minutes, so you need to use the refresh token to request a new access token.
Flowing the steps below for refreshing the access token.
- Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace.
- Create a new POST with this URL:
https://www.wix.com/oauth/access
- In the body section, enter the code.
Payload:
{
"grant_type": "refresh_token",
"client_id": <APP_ID>,
"client_secret": <APP_SECRET>,
"refresh_token": <REFRESH_TOKEN>
}
Body Params:
| NAME | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
| grant_type | String | Value must be set to “refresh_token’ |
| client_id | String | The App ID as defined in the Wix Developers Center |
| client_secret | String | The Secret Key for your app as defined in your Wix Developers Center |
| refresh_token | String | The refresh token issued with the access token. |
- Then click SEND
Response:
The API will return the new access token and the refresh token in order to request a new access token.
