Last updated: July 30, 2026

Edit on GitHub

This page describes the API endpoint contract, which is the same regardless of the serving infrastructure. Storefront API endpoints are served by API Platform (recommended) or the legacy Glue infrastructure; Backend API endpoints currently run on the Glue infrastructure.

This endpoint lets you add service types.
