Running the project

To get started you will need to have a BigCommerce Store.

You will need to have +v10 node.

You will need Serverless

In this example the serverless.yml is configured for AWS.
https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/installation/

You can easily update the yml for your desired FAAS providers

You will need to generate BigCommerce API keys, these keys need to have read permissions for products.

In the serverless.yml file update the environment with your site API Keys

environment:
  STORE_HASH: {YOUR STORE HASH}
  BC_CLIENT: {YOUR CLIENT ID}
  BC_TOKEN: {YOUR TOKEN ID}
  ALGOLIA_APP_ID: { APP ID}
  ALGOLIA_API_KEY: {API KEY}

Now run to set up

npm install

Now you're ready to deploy

cd algolia
sls deploy

You will get an API endpoint back, you will use this when you set up your webhook.

endpoints:
  POST - https://{XXXXXX}.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/algolia

Now in postman create the webhook to send order created to endpoints https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api-docs/getting-started/webhooks/webhook-events#orders

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/{STORE HASH}/v2/hooks' \
--header 'X-Auth-Client: XXXXX' \
--header 'X-Auth-Token: YYYYYY' \
--data-raw '{
 "scope": "store/product/*",
 "destination": "https://ZZZZZ.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/algolia",
 "is_active": true
}'
