# API Overview

> The Depict Lite API: the REST API behind the Depict Lite Shopify app.

Depict Lite is Depict's native Shopify product: it merchandises your existing
Shopify collections without any theme changes. The Lite API is the REST API
behind the Lite admin experience.

## Base URL

The Lite API is served under the `/api/lite` prefix of the Depict portal
backend:

```
https://<portal-host>/api/lite
```

## Authentication

All endpoints require a bearer token issued by Depict's Auth0 tenant:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://<portal-host>/api/lite/collections \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "x-merchant-id: $MERCHANT_ID"
```

Most endpoints resolve the store from the authenticated user; multi-store
endpoints take explicit `merchant_id` parameters.

## What you can do with it

* **Collections** — list, activate and configure merchandised collections,
  including the ordering that Depict pushes back to Shopify.
* **Boost & bury** — manage per-collection and global boost/bury rules.
* **Dashboard** — read the performance numbers shown on the Lite dashboard.
* **A/B testing** — configure and read results of collection A/B tests.
* **Multi-store** — connect several Shopify stores and replicate collection
  configuration between them.
* **Onboarding & Shopify integration** — ingestion status, theme
  compatibility checks and app onboarding state.
