The Droplinked API is a collection of powerful endpoints that allow developers to build complete eCommerce platforms or store-management applications. With Droplinked, you can easily create online stores, manage product inventories, handle payments — including Web3 crypto transactions — and even mint products as NFTs. It provides everything you need to build a modern, connected, and scalable eCommerce experience.

​
Key features

Store management

Create and manage multiple stores with full configuration control.

Product management

Add, update, and organize products or inventory items.

Web3 payments

Integrate decentralized payments using crypto and blockchain technology.

NFT minting

Convert products into NFTs to enable on-chain ownership or digital verification.

​
What you can build

Developers use the Droplinked API to build:
  • Online stores — create and manage digital storefronts
  • Admin dashboards — build management panels for merchants and sellers
  • Web3 eCommerce apps — enable features such as crypto payments and NFT product minting

​
Getting started

​
1. Get your API key

To start using the API, create an API key from your Droplinked dashboard.
1

Open the dashboard

Go to droplinked.com and log in with your account credentials.
2

Navigate to Developers

Open Settings → Developers in the side navigation.
3

Create a key

In the API Keys tab, create a new key. Copy the value — it won’t be shown again.
Keep your API key secure — it identifies and authenticates your requests to Droplinked’s backend. Never commit it to source control or expose it in client-side bundles.

​
2. Base URL

All API requests should be made to: 
https://api.io.droplinked.com/

​
3. Authentication header

Every request must include your API key in the headers: 
x-droplinked-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

​
Example — curl

curl -X GET "https://api.io.droplinked.com/v1/store" \
  -H "x-droplinked-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

​
4. Live API reference

You can explore and test the full API specification interactively from the API Reference tab in this docs site, or browse the legacy Swagger at apiv3.droplinked.com/swagger/dev-docs. The OpenAPI spec is downloadable at apiv3.droplinked.com/swagger/json.
