One full-access secret key per environment, with no scoped or read-only key.\n\n**Wix Stores and eCommerce API.** The developer docs are served as Markdown with an llms.txt index, and API keys carry permission scopes and a site restriction. No numeric REST rate limit or OpenAPI file was found, and status.wix.com records a platform-wide incident of 3 hours 17 minutes on 1 August 2026. A person must create the account and the key.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Swell\n\n1. Call GET /:models once and cache it. It's the ground truth for custom fields\n2. Check `result.errors` after every write. A failed validation still returns 200\n3. Use `$set` to replace an array. A plain PUT merges arrays by element id and never shrinks them\n4. Use an sk_test_ key while testing. A bare sk_ prefix is live\n5. Keep `expand` and `include` small. Each level past the first three points adds rate-limit weight\n\n### Wix Stores and eCommerce API\n\n1. Send the API key in `Authorization` with `wix-site-id` for site calls or `wix-account-id` for account calls, never both\n2. Fetch the product first and pass `product.revision` on every Catalogue V3 update, or the call fails with 409\n3. Use Cart V2 for new work. The older eCommerce Cart and Checkout APIs were deprecated on 5 August 2026\n4. Request `cursorPaging.limit` of at most 100 on Query Products and use Search Products for lookups by name\n5. Over MCP, read the method page with `ReadFullDocsArticle` before `CallWixSiteAPI`. Responses are cut at 50,000 characters by default\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Swell or Wix Stores and eCommerce API?\n\nWix Stores and eCommerce API scores 61.4 (C) on agent readiness against Swell's 55 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
