Get public app details

There are several methods in JS API created specifically for public applications.

Ecwid.getAppPublicToken('client_id')

This method accepts app client_id as an argument and responds with a public access token for the app. Public tokens are safe to use on the storefront, as they won't be able to reveal any private store data.

Code example:

var publicToken = Ecwid.getAppPublicToken('my-cool-app');
console.log(publicToken);

// prints
// public_qKDUqKkNXzcj9DejkMUqEkYLq2E6BXM9

If you need to make this call on the main Instant Site page, use window.instantsite.getAppPublicToken('client_id'); call instead.

Ecwid.getAppPublicConfig('client_id')

This method accepts app client_id as an argument and responds with a "public config" for the app, which is the data saved in App Storage as a public key. Read more about setting up App Storage.

Code example:

var publicConfig = Ecwid.getAppPublicConfig("client_id");
console.log(publicConfig);

// prints
// {"key": "public","value": "{'color':'red','text':'Email button','border-radius':'3px'}"}

If you need to make this call on the main Instant Site page, use window.instantsite.getAppPublicConfig('client_id'); call instead.

Ecwid.getInitializedWidgets()

This method responds with a list of widgets currently loaded on the website. Full list of widgets:

  • Minicart - Minicart widget

  • SearchPanel - Search widget

  • ProductBrowser - Main storefront widget, contains full Ecwid store

  • Categories - Horizontal categories menu widget

  • Product - Widget with an embedded product page

Code example:

var widgets = Ecwid.getInitializedWidgets();
console.log(widgets);

// prints 
// ["Minicart", "SearchPanel", "ProductBrowser"]
