and what is "quoteId" here,

Answer 1

Please follow the below steps as shown in the screenshots so that it will help you

Note:

1) Mask Key we can trace out from the table called 'quote_id_mask'

2) quote_id (or) cart id as well you can check it in the same table

3) cart item info saved in the table called quote_item

Answer 2

The API is very tricky here.

1. You need to create a cart first: [POST] /V1/carts/

This will return an ID.

2. Now add the item to your cart: [POST] /V1/guest-carts/{cartId}/items

Body:

{
    "cart_item": {
        "quote_id": "{{use_your_cart_id}}",
        "sku": "YOUR_PRODUCT_SKU",
        "qty": 1
    }
}

For guest you need to follow these steps:

Step-1: Create empty guest-cart

POST http://yourhost.com/rest/V1/guest-carts

The response of above request will give you "cartKey"

[Note: remove double quotes from the response]. And store it in some area, it will be needed in Step-2.

Step-2: Get cart details at any time after Step-1 above,

GET http://yourhost.com/rest/V1/guest-carts/{cartKey from step-1}

Step-3: Add product to the cart

POST http://yourhost.com/rest/V1/guest-carts/{cartKey from step-1}/items

Submit the JSON Payload

{ "cartItem" : { "sku" : productSKU, "qty" : 1, "quoteId" : quoteId } }

Note:

1. productSKU = The product you want to add to cart

2. qty=1 means you want to add one product to cart

3. quoteId=quoteId you received in step-2

how can i get this and please tell me process step by step. and what is "quoteId" here,

quoteId is the actual cart id in quote table. From the response of Step-2 you can find it in JSON response with key id.

Here are the list of magento 2 APIs listing with modules.
