# Quickstart

> Make your first Droplinked API calls in under five minutes.

This walks you through reading a merchant's public catalog — no credentials required — then
points you at the authenticated and agentic paths.

## 1. Pick an environment

Use **production** for live data or **development** for a sanitized sandbox. See
[Environments](/environments) for all base URLs.

```bash theme={null}
export DROPLINKED_API=https://apiv3.droplinked.com   # prod
# export DROPLINKED_API=https://apiv3dev.droplinked.com  # dev sandbox
```

## 2. Fetch a shop

```bash theme={null}
curl "$DROPLINKED_API/shops/v2/public/name/{shopName}"
```

Returns the shop's profile, currency, payment methods, and design template.

## 3. List the shop's products

```bash theme={null}
curl "$DROPLINKED_API/product-v2/public/shop/{shopName}?page=1&limit=24"
```

Returns the public product collection (physical, digital, and POD), with pricing and media —
everything you need to render a catalog or feed it to an agent.
