# Hive Merchant API ## Introduction This is the documentation for the API which allows merchants to integrate their systems with Hive. Our API is used to integrate stores or ERP systems for which we do not yet have a native integration. You can POST SKUs and orders, as well as retrieve fulfillment and delivery statuses of them. You can also use the Hive API to interact with other features of our WMS software, such as restocking shipments, returns and SKUs. The API currently doesn't give access to all the data and features of the Hive app. That is, if you have multiple integrations, you cannot view or edit data from those integrations (e.g. orders). If your platform of choice is listed in [Hive's integration list](https://www.hive.app/product/integrations) you don't need to use this API. ## Want to jump right in? Feeling like an eager beaver? Jump in to the quick start docs and get making your first request: {% content-ref url="quick-start" %} [quick-start](https://developers.hive.app/quick-start) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Want to deep dive? Dive a little deeper and start exploring our API reference to get an idea of everything that's possible with the API: {% content-ref url="reference/api-reference" %} [api-reference](https://developers.hive.app/reference/api-reference) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://developers.hive.app/hive-merchant-api.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
