Can you post a full request example? ie: I do the token request, get some stuff back, but nothing that screams "i'm the auth token". Mostly need to know what i'm supposed to pass in with each request to make it authorized.

Hi guys, I would like to get the available products with prices and so on, my question is how the shopping api works

if I hit this URL

https://www.youngliving.com/api/shopping

I get that

{
    "version": "1.1",
    "content": {
        "headers": [
        ]
    },
    "statusCode": "OK",
    "reasonPhrase": "OK",
    "headers": [
    ],
    "trailingHeaders": [
    ],
    "requestMessage": null,
    "isSuccessStatusCode": true
}

Well, there seems to be nothing there that is related to shopping/buying products.

Does someone know how this api retrieve products?

Should this api do that? It looks like that is for manage user info, but not products.

For the people that are asking how to do that.

I would recommed to work in a agnostic way without really coding first, use a api tester.

Well to get the token, which you have to add in the header as - authtoken : value - you send the post request and then hier is a example with javascript backend (express)

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const axios = require('axios');
require('dotenv').config();

router.post('/authenticate', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const tokenResponse = await axios.post(
      'https://www.youngliving.com/api/accounts/token',
      {
        memberId: process.env.YL_ID,
        password: process.env.YL_PASSWORD,
      },
      {
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
      }
    );

    const plainToken = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(tokenResponse.data)).toString(
      'base64'
    );

    console.log('productsResponse ', res.json);
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ message: error.message });
  }
});

module.exports = router;

you can call it from the frontend with some fake page just for test what will hit the /authenticate

in React something like

useEffect(() => {
    const serverBaseURL = "http://localhost:3001"

    const fetchData = async () => {
      try {
        // HTTP POST to your server to get the token
        const response = await axios.post(
          `${serverBaseURL}/api/youngliving/authenticate`,
        )
        console.log("response MyComponent ", response)

        if (response.status === 200) {
          const authToken = response.data.authToken
          // You can now use the authToken for further API calls
        }
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error fetching data:", error)
      }
    }

    // Call the fetchData function
    fetchData()
  }, [])

I would recommed that after you get the plainToken from the logs use it as authtoken value in the header and take the " " away from the value
