Fast Time-to-Market and low TCO with an API-first approach.
The API-first approach is a software development methodology that prioritizes APIs as the foundation of an application, rather than treating them as an afterthought. This approach involves designing and developing APIs before writing any other code. We’ve made everything for a world connected by APIs, so the commercetools APIs are extensive, functional, streamlined, and very well documented, allowing you to dive right into creating a commerce experience.
Robust REST APIs
Our RESTful APIs are easy to use and enhance discoverability of our features, allowing any developer to quickly pick up and work with commercetools.
100% GraphQL coverage
GraphQL is a data query language for APIs that allows client developers to retrieve the exact data they want from any source; enabling brands to build experiences faster. At 100% coverage, commercetools has the highest GraphQL support of any commerce platform.
API Extensibility
On top of comprehensively covering functions and various use cases, commercetools APIs are highly extensible. Our patented API extensibility allows you to add functionality and tailor how an API behaves to your exact needs.

Frequently asked questions
Generally a robust REST API boils down to having good standardization, able to work with transmitting data consistently and reliably; while also being able to work with high workloads with concurrent input/output and other APIs in the picture.
GraphQL is a layer that sits on top of APIs; it complements rather than replaces APIs. GraphQL saves time by giving developers just the data they need, to reduce server usage with fewer API calls and improve performance of your applications.
commercetools realizes that the commerce platform is just one piece of the bigger picture that comprises your business ecosystem, that’s why our platform was designed with APIs as a first-class priority. Rest assured that regardless of the use case they’re thrown into, our APIs play well with others.
Ultimately, any programming language can be used to write APIs, some can be better and more efficient than others, but whatever the skills in your business are, you can work with commercetools APIs effectively.
