How do I find my BigCommerce API credentials?

Log in to your BigCommerce admin, navigate to **Settings** > **API Accounts**, and create a new V2/V3 API account to get your token, hash, and client ID.

Does it support both V2 and V3 APIs?

Yes! The server automatically routes requests to the correct endpoint (V3 for products/customers, V2 for orders) to ensure high-fidelity data access.

Where do I find my Store Hash?

Your store hash is the unique identifier in your BigCommerce API URL (e.g., 'xyz123' in api.bigcommerce.com/stores/xyz123/v3/).
