Creating APIs with Serverless Functions by Edgio: A Fake E-Commerce API

Edgio Serverless Functions allow you to create APIs without using a Javascript framework. This example is to create a free online REST API that you can use whenever you need Pseudo-real data for your e-commerce without running any server-side code.

Resources

There are 3 main resources need in e-commerce prototypes:

• All Products: /products/all
• Specific Product: /products/:slug
• Image(s) of the products: /product-images/:slug

How To

One can fetch data with any kind of methods you know(fetch API, Axios, JQuery AJAX, etc.)

Get all products

fetch("https://edgio-community-ecommerce-api-example-default.layer0-limelight.link/products/all")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((res) => console.log(res))

Get a single product

fetch("https://edgio-community-ecommerce-api-example-default.layer0-limelight.link/products/next-js-enamel-mug")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((res) => console.log(res))

Get all images of a product

fetch("https://edgio-community-ecommerce-api-example-default.layer0-limelight.link/product-images/next-js-enamel-mug")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
