API & webhooks

Read experiment data programmatically and push conversion events into your own systems.

4 min read

Two ways to get Cartie data into your own stack: pull experiment results from the REST API, or have conversion events pushed to your endpoint as they happen.

#Getting an API key

Settings → Developer → API Access → Generate key. The key is shown once and stored hashed — copy it immediately. Regenerating invalidates the previous key straight away, so update anything using it first.

#Reading experiments

curl https://cartie.io/api/v1/experiments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ck_live_your_key_here"

Returns every experiment for your store with its status, per-variant visitors, conversions and revenue, plus lift, confidence and the four decision gates:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "exp_...",
      "name": "Free shipping threshold $75",
      "status": "RUNNING",
      "widgetType": "free_shipping_bar",
      "startedAt": "2026-08-01T09:12:00.000Z",
      "concludedAt": null,
      "daysRunning": 9,
      "visitors": 8421,
      "conversions": 402,
      "lift": 0.061,
      "confidence": 0.968,
      "gates": {
        "sampleSize": true,
        "duration": true,
        "significance": true,
        "positiveLift": true,
        "decided": true
      },
      "variants": [ /* per-variant metrics */ ]
    }
  ]
}
DetailValue
AuthAuthorization: Bearer <key> — a missing or invalid key returns 401.
Rate limit60 requests per minute per IP; over that returns 429.
ScopeThe key only ever returns data for the store that generated it.

#Conversion webhook

Set an HTTPS endpoint in Settings → Integrations → Custom Webhook and Cartie POSTs conversion events to it as they arrive:

POST https://your-endpoint.example.com/cartie-events
Content-Type: application/json
X-Cartie-Event: conversion

{
  "shop": "your-store.myshopify.com",
  "sessionId": "…",
  "events": [ { "event": "conversion", "…": "…" } ]
}

#Shopify-side data

Order, product and discount data all live in Shopify — use the Shopify Admin API for those. Cartie's API covers only what Cartie itself measures.
