Add simple product to cart from external site

[gregfoss1]

Hello Everyone,

My apologies if the following question has been ask and answered....

I am trying to add a simple product to my Magento 2 shopping cart with a link similar to the one below:

http://domainname.com/checkout/cart/add?product=XXXX&qty=X

The link will direct to the shopping cart but the product won't populate.  In researching this I see a lot of references to writing a simple PHP script that leverages "Mage.php" to initiate the magento session.  It looks like "Mage.php" has been dropped from CE 2.X.

Has anyone determine figured out how to do this?

Thanks!

Hello gregfoss1,

In order to do this you can use REST API. The list of REST APIs can be found by the link: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/rest/list.html

First of all, you need to create new cart. The next request will get CART_ID  back to new empty cart.

POST /V1/carts/mine

You need to add new product into the created cart. It can be done with the help of : 

POST /V1/carts/mine/items

With parameter:

{
  "cart_item": {
    "quote_id": <CART_ID from previous call>,
    "sku": "PRODUCT_SKU",
    "qty": 1
  }
}

You should also check next requests:

PUT /V1/carts/mine/items/:itemId
POST /V1/guest-carts/:cartId/items
PUT /V1/guest-carts/:cartId/items/:itemId
