Adobe Commerce (Magento) vs Fabric

Adobe Commerce (Magento)

Public Swagger files cover 510 REST operations for the cloud service, the GraphQL schema carries cart, checkout and order mutations, and the cloud service authenticates by OAuth 2 through Adobe IMS. 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.

Fabric

Public OpenAPI files for about 980 operations, llms.txt, client credentials with role-limited system apps, and a published 99.9 per cent SLA. Access needs a sales contract, with no public price or self-serve trial. The commerce docs are labelled legacy, the newest release notes date from July 2025, and no status page was found.

Adobe Commerce (Magento)

1. Ask which deployment the store is. The cloud service answers at https://<server>.api.commerce.adobe.com/<tenant-id>/ with no /rest prefix, and other stores at https://<host>/rest/<store-view-code>/
2. On the cloud service, request an IMS token with the commerce.accs scope and send the Store header to pick the store view
3. 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
4. Add ?fields= to REST calls and set searchCriteria[pageSize]. Stores with input limits on cap a page at 300 items
5. Don't retry placeOrder or a POST blindly. Read the cart or order back first, because no idempotency key was found

Fabric

1. Get the tenant ID and a System App client ID and secret from the merchant's Copilot admin, with the narrowest role the task needs
2. Request a new system token from {authURL}/v1/token every 10 minutes, since system apps receive no refresh token
3. Send x-fabric-tenant-id on every call, and x-fabric-channel-id where the merchant sells in more than one channel
4. Page order searches with offset and limit, because the default response returns 10 orders
5. Read errorCode and context.endpoint in Orders and Inventory errors, and check for duplicates before retrying a write
