No request rate limit or idempotency key was found in the API documentation, Adobe publishes no MCP server for Commerce, and a licence starts with a sales order.\n\n**Ecwid by Lightspeed.** The REST API has 40 access scopes, a published limit of 600 requests a minute per token with `Retry-After` on a 429, field selection through `responseFields`, and Markdown docs with an llms.txt index. Tokens never expire, there is no test mode or idempotency key, API access needs a paid plan, and carts are built only in the browser.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Adobe Commerce (Magento)\n\n1. Ask which deployment the store is. The cloud service answers at `https://\u003cserver\u003e.api.commerce.adobe.com/\u003ctenant-id\u003e/` with no `/rest` prefix, and other stores at `https://\u003chost\u003e/rest/\u003cstore-view-code\u003e/`\n2. On the cloud service, request an IMS token with the `commerce.accs` scope and send the `Store` header to pick the store view\n3. On a 2.4 store, sign requests with all four integration credentials by OAuth 1.0a. A bare integration token is refused unless the merchant has switched that on\n4. Add `?fields=` to REST calls and set `searchCriteria[pageSize]`. Stores with input limits on cap a page at 300 items\n5. Don't retry `placeOrder` or a POST blindly. Read the cart or order back first, because no idempotency key was found\n\n### Ecwid by Lightspeed\n\n1. Send the token as `Authorization: Bearer` to `https://app.ecwid.com/api/v3/{storeId}`. Tokens in the query string stopped working in March 2025\n2. Use the secret token server-side only. The public token reads enabled products and places orders that are not marked paid\n3. Add `responseFields`, for example `total,items(id,name,price)`, to keep responses small, and page with `offset` and `limit` (maximum 100)\n4. Stay under 600 requests a minute per token and wait the `Retry-After` seconds on a 429. Repeated calls with a bad token get the token and IP blocked for longer\n5. Work in a separate test store. There is no test mode, and `POST /orders` writes a real order with no idempotency key\n6. After changing an app's scopes, uninstall and reinstall it, then replace the stored tokens. The old ones stop working\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Adobe Commerce (Magento) or Ecwid by Lightspeed?\n\nAdobe Commerce (Magento) and Ecwid by Lightspeed score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 63.9 (B) and 63.2 (B).
