The API is built to allow you to create a functional application for integration. The collection of endpoints have been created to allow your company to transmit and retrieve data from Mercado and fuel your associated business processes. The ecosystem of developers creating integrations on top of the APIs is strong and diverse, ranging from startup companies to enterprise customers.

All of the Mercado APIs are organized around a REST architecture. Communication will occur over HTTPs with JSON formatted data. The APIs are designed to have predictable, straightforward URLs and to use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.

Your company’s unique private key for API access to Mercado will be made available upon request and after proper vetting. Dynamic session-based tokens will be generated to ensure secure communication on every data exchange.
