ClawMart Store Manager

Help the user manage their ClawMart CN store through the backend API. The system covers: authentication, store profile, products, notes/announcements, and photo uploads (both store gallery and per-product photos).

API Base URL

Default: https://www.clawmart.cn/api

If the user is running a self-hosted instance, ask them for their API URL. Set a shell variable for reuse:

API="https://www.clawmart.cn/api"  # or the user's own instance URL

Step 1 — Authentication / Registration

Every protected endpoint requires Authorization: Bearer <token>.

If the user wants to register a new account, follow the registration flow below. Otherwise jump straight to Login.

Registration flow

Ask the user interactively (one question at a time):

1. 用户名 (username): letters, digits, underscores, dashes, and Chinese characters; max 50 chars. Uniqueness is enforced by the server.
2. 密码 (password): at least 8 characters.
3. Confirm password (repeat the same value as password_confirmation).

Then register:

curl -s -X POST "$API/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "username": "CHOSEN_USERNAME",
    "password": "CHOSEN_PASSWORD",
    "password_confirmation": "CHOSEN_PASSWORD"
  }'

Response:

{"message":"User registered successfully","token":"2|xyz...","user":{"id":5,"username":"...","is_seller":false,...}}

Save the token, then automatically call become-seller to create the seller account and an initial store profile:

TOKEN="TOKEN_VALUE_FROM_RESPONSE"
echo -n "$TOKEN" > /tmp/clawmart_token.txt

curl -s -X POST "$API/become-seller" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Now ask for the store name:

"请问您的店铺叫什么名字？"

Then set it:

curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"shop_name": "USER_CHOSEN_NAME"}'

Confirm success: "✅ 注册完成！店铺「USER_CHOSEN_NAME」已创建，欢迎使用 ClawMart。"

On 422: show the errors field — most likely the username is taken or the password is too short. Ask the user to pick a different value and retry.

Login

Login uses username (not email):

curl -s -X POST "$API/login" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"YOUR_USERNAME","password":"YOUR_PASSWORD"}'

Response:

{"message":"Login successful","token":"1|abc...","user":{"id":1,"is_seller":true,...}}

Save the token for reuse:

echo -n "TOKEN_VALUE" > /tmp/clawmart_token.txt
TOKEN=$(cat /tmp/clawmart_token.txt)

Demo credentials (development only): username=demo, password=password

The user must have is_seller: true. If is_seller is false, call:

curl -s -X POST "$API/become-seller" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

On 401 responses: delete the token file and re-authenticate. On 403 responses: the user is not a seller — call /become-seller. On 422 responses: show the errors field so the user can fix their input.

Step 2 — Store Profile

Fetch store profile (auto-creates on first call for sellers):

curl -s "$API/my-store" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Update profile:

curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "shop_name": "My Shop",
    "description": "Fresh produce daily",
    "contact_phone": "138xxxxxxxx",
    "address": "北京市朝阳区XX路1号",
    "business_hours": "09:00-21:00",
    "tags": ["生鲜", "有机"],
    "store_type": "retail",
    "is_public": true
  }'

store_type options: restaurant | retail | service | general | hotel

Step 3 — Products

List products

curl -s "$API/my-store/products" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Create product

curl -s -X POST "$API/my-store/products" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "有机苹果",
    "price": 18.8,
    "stock": 500,
    "unit": "斤",
    "description": "山东烟台产，无农药，直接批发价",
    "is_active": true
  }'

Update product

curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store/products/{id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"price": 15.5, "stock": 300}'

Delete product

curl -s -X DELETE "$API/my-store/products/{id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Step 4 — Store Notes / Announcements

Note type values: discount | announcement | inventory | event | other

List notes

curl -s "$API/my-store/notes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Create note

curl -s -X POST "$API/my-store/notes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "discount",
    "title": "周末特惠",
    "content": "本周六日全场8折，欢迎光临！",
    "valid_from": "2026-04-19",
    "valid_until": "2026-04-20",
    "is_active": true
  }'

Update note

curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store/notes/{id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"is_active": false}'

Delete note

curl -s -X DELETE "$API/my-store/notes/{id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Step 5 — Photo Uploads

Photos are uploaded as multipart/form-data. Max size: 5MB per image.

Before uploading, verify the file exists and is within size:

ls -lh /path/to/image.jpg

Store gallery photos

category options: environment | menu | products | video

# Upload store gallery photo
curl -s -X POST "$API/my-store/photos" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -F "image=@/path/to/photo.jpg" \
  -F "caption=店内环境" \
  -F "category=environment"

# Reorder gallery (pass ordered array of photo IDs)
curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store/photos/reorder" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"ids": [3, 1, 2]}'

# Delete gallery photo
curl -s -X DELETE "$API/my-store/photos/{id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Product photos

The first photo uploaded for a product automatically becomes its primary image (shown in product listings). Subsequent uploads go into the gallery.

# Upload product photo
curl -s -X POST "$API/my-store/products/{productId}/photos" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -F "image=@/path/to/product.jpg" \
  -F "caption=正面图"

# Promote a photo to primary
curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store/product-photos/{photoId}/primary" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

# Delete product photo (next photo auto-promotes to primary if needed)
curl -s -X DELETE "$API/my-store/product-photos/{photoId}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Response handling

• Success: look for the data key (or message for deletes). Print key fields (id, name, url) to confirm the operation.
• 401: token expired → delete /tmp/clawmart_token.txt and re-login.
• 403: not a seller → call POST $API/become-seller.
• 422: validation error → show errors to the user for correction.

Booking management (optional)

# List bookings (optional ?status=pending|confirmed|completed|cancelled)
curl -s "$API/my-store/bookings?status=pending" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

# Update booking status
curl -s -X PUT "$API/my-store/bookings/{id}/status" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "confirmed"}'
