View the CRE Loaded API documentation

Important: This release is a beta version, and should not be used in a production environment!

The download package includes:

1. CRE Loaded API
2. API Documentation
3. Example third-party shopping cart application

To install the API, extract the package, and place the "api" directory in the root directory of your CRE Loaded installation.  To begin using the API, include the file "api/Session.php". You can then use the CRESession class to access products and categories in the catalog, manage shopping carts, and process orders.  CRESession objects can be maintained by storing the id parameter in your default session management, and using CRESession::getSession to retrieve the object.

To try the example third-party shopping cart, place "api.php" in the root directory of your CRE Loaded installation, and open it in a web browser.

Watch CRELoaded.org for more information about the API, including news about future releases and integration with existing content management systems.
