Error in default API testing | V1/carts/mine/shipping-information

Question

I just wanted to test this API for understanding order flow

{  "addressInformation": {
      "shipping_address": {
       "region": "New York",
       "region_id": 43,
       "region_code": "NY",
       "country_id": "US",
       "street": [
      "123 Oak Ave"
    ],
    "postcode": "10577",
    "city": "Purchase",
    "firstname": "Jane",
    "lastname": "Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "telephone": "512-555-1111"
  },
  "billing_address": {
    "region": "New York",
    "region_id": 43,
    "region_code": "NY",
    "country_id": "US",
    "street": [
      "123 Oak Ave"
    ],
    "postcode": "10577",
    "city": "Purchase",
    "firstname": "Jane",
    "lastname": "Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "telephone": "512-555-1111"
  },
  "shipping_carrier_code": "tablerate",
  "shipping_method_code": "bestway"
  }
}

but with above payload given in devdocs it show error:

"message": "Carrier with such method not found: %1, %2",
"parameters": [ "tablerate", "bestway" ],

how can it be tested?

Answer 1

First of all, you have to check available shipping methods by making this call:

POST /rest/default/V1/carts/mine/estimate-shipping-methods

with the following body (example):

{
"address": {
    "country_id": "PL",
    "street": [
      "..."
    ],
    "postcode": "...",
    "city": "..."
  }    
}

Don't forget to add a header:

Authorization: Bearer [customer token]

And sample response:

[
  {
    "carrier_code": "flatrate",
    "method_code": "flatrate",
    "carrier_title": "Flat Rate",
    "method_title": "Fixed",
    "amount": 50,
    "base_amount": 50,
    "available": true,
    "error_message": "",
    "price_excl_tax": 50,
    "price_incl_tax": 50
  }
]

Then you have to just put method_code and carrier_code

Full flow:

1. Get customer token POST /rest/default/V1/integration/customer/token
2. Create shopping-cart POST /rest/default/V1/carts/mine
3. Add item to shopping-cart POST /rest/default/V1/carts/mine/items
4. Get shipping information
5. Set up shipping
6. Set up a payment method

PS. I've stuck on setting up payments
