volusion - http://docs.volusion.apiary.io/ 上的新 Volusion API 的状态？

Question

我遇到了 Volusion 商店的 REST API 的草稿文档。有人知道 API 的状态吗？

每当我使用任何列出的示例调用调用它时，都会出现错误：

发生了错误。请重试您的请求，或联系客服寻求帮助。谢谢你。如果联系客户服务，请提供参考编号#000000。

我见过其他人也有同样的情况，并提到它尚未投入生产。但是，我无法找到有关它何时真正上线和可用的任何信息。有人有更多信息吗？

对不起，我想我回答这个问题的方式不是一个很好的答案，所以我会尽量给你一个更好的回应。虽然简单的答案是这个状态，它是“仅供内部测试使用”，对于那些拼命寻找并认为他们会找到不同答案的人来说，这就是我所知道的一切。

apiary.io 网站上记录的 API 可能会成为 volusions 软件的下一个咒语（或者至少我和其他许多人都希望如此）。它于 2014 年底的某个时间在 apiary 网站上发布，其中包括有关如何使用它的文档，以及指向其新主题引擎的 git 存储库的链接。它是一个盒子解决方案中的电子商务购物车软件，一旦发布，它将是一个完全开源的解决方案，并且允许用户对其商店执行比当前版本更高级别的定制该软件可以。

我们中间的好奇者可以在http://www.samplestore.io/上看到一个使用新软件构建的示例站点

它最初是在 2014 年 1 月发出的“首席执行官的信”中向公众宣布的，您可以阅读以下摘录： 以下是今年将处于最前沿的两个关键产品主题：

品牌体验：为了帮助您完全控制您的品牌，我们引入了一个新的主题引擎，可为您的店面提供无尽的定制。这些主题将支持完全响应式设计，并且是完全可定制的，允许您创建在任何设备上精美地代表您的品牌的客户体验。可扩展性：我们将推出一个新的 Volusion 应用市场，让您可以访问众多合作伙伴和功能来扩展您商店的力量。更重要的是，我们将发布一个新的 Volusion API，它将完全 RESTful、文档化并可供任何人使用。对于许多用户来说，这是一个非常值得期待的变化，这可能是唯一能够阻止客户流向其他服务的事情之一，因为他们当前的软件不仅存在错误，而且还不够成熟。

他们正在构建的新软件和当前版本之间的另一个关键区别是，当前版本的主题引擎使用了一些非常奇怪的专有方法，比任何 CSS 都更频繁地使用表格，而 CSS 被使用并且能够被使用，对于更高级的用户，对于普通用户来说，这是一个非常笨拙的解决方案。当前的解决方案最近（在过去几个月内）开始使用引导程序支持响应式设计。

新的 API 将与新的主题引擎一起使用，这将是一个更加通用的引擎，也是开源的，它将允许客户创建更有用和个性化的体验。这个新的主题引擎目前被称为方法。

So from what I understand, and from what I see, Volusion has developed a new advanced API which is open source, and it will be accessible through the REST API, and will grant a user the ability to accept and respond with standard JSON formats. This means that things that currently are only able to be accessed by basically backdoor their current API, will now be available publicly to all, and apparently supported. I like everyone else am very excited about what this means, the only problem is, that they announced this way back in 2014. It's now September of 15.

In June of 2014, my contacts in volusion told me that it would be available publically no later than december of that year. Amazingly, December rolled around and I heard nothing, A few months later I received an email inviting me to "volusion API documentation" on apiary. I gladly joined the site and got to work, and set some of the best guys on my team to work on it as well. Well, eventually we ended up creating a new theme for a website off of it, and it was time to implement, so after some testing we found that the things that were available on the samplestore.io site could not be accessed on ours.

After spending hundreds of hours learning, and developing, and testing, on this new engine, and then spending many more hours trying to get a straight answer from volusion, I eventually spoke with one of the account managers in the experts program and explained to him that I was so frustrated, that I would be pulling my business from volusion along with any of my clients unless I had a solid answer. A ticket was opened, and a few hours later, the response I received I was told that the API was mistakenly made available to the public, and regardless of the invite I had received it was not for volusion customers yet, nor for their partners or experts, and that it was only meant for internal testing use only. As to when it is going to be available, I was told "hopefully sometime in the first half of 2016."

Honestly the whole fiasco makes me wonder if we are all asking the wrong question, maybe we shouldn't be asking the status of their new API, but asking the status of them as a company. I know that we are currently building a custom cloud based solution that is much more scalable and will allow us to have the customization we need. Unfortunately that isn't an option to many people who joined volusion with the expectation of having access to an API such as this, as even as early as 2013 there were talks of making an opensource api, and that it would only be a "matter of time."

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as of now I've lost faith that we will have access to this anytime soon, however, I'll be sure to come and update you if I here anything different, as I've followed this closely for quite a long time, and I'm on a supposed "beta group" waiting list...

For anyone who wants more information on it all, here are a few links: http://www.volusion.com/lp/sem/new-upcoming-features/v1

http://volusion-angular.github.io/theme-engine-docs/devcenter/Content/landing.html -- Taken down a month or so back (I did fork this prior to it being removed, but there isn't anything of much use, as the API doesn't work... http://docs.volusion.apiary.io/ -- Also taken down

And to find info as to what Volusion CURRENTLY has available as far as an API goes, you can start off here but it'll probably take much more research if you really wish to learn to use it.

I wish you luck, but on a personal note, I wouldn't get my hopes up. I could be wrong, and maybe they're just waiting until this technology is outdated to begin using it as that seems to be V's MO.

Answer 2

当我在手机上阅读时，不知何故错过了Volusion 的这条评论。

2014 年 7 月 16 日的评论只是说它将在“今年晚些时候”推出。这个 API 看起来比当前可用的 API 迈出了一大步，所以我希望它很快就会出现。
