API Overview
The Plytix API platform provides a suite of functionalities for managing your product content programmatically. It's built on standard REST principles and secured with bearer token authentication.
This lets you connect your own systems, such as an ERP or storefront, to your Plytix account with confidence, so you can sync, enrich, and distribute product data instead of managing it only through the dashboard.
