====== Add/Remove Cart Item API ======
===== What is the Add/Remove Cart Item API? =====
The **Add/Remove Cart Item API** is to be used in combination with other Cart APIs: **[[cart-item-creation-api|Cart Item Creation API]]** and **[[cart-creation-api|Cart Creation API]]**. This API provides you with possibility to modify your cart after its creation: removing already added items or adding new items to it.
===== Who Should Use this API? =====
This API is intended to be used in white label business model approach when you have a full control on placing orders to our backend system.
===== Try it Out =====
Do you have questions about how your server should add/remove cart items to/from cart? Visiting our demo page will help you out.
We’ve developed a sandbox server, which is an isolated server (not hooked up to a payment system or production environment, allowing you to test the service without getting billed) to try out your code and integration with us. As the sandbox server is an isolated server, it requires different credentials than the production site.
**The demo page of Add/Remove Cart Item API on sandbox server:**
https://imatsandbox.materialise.net/api/demo/add-remove-cart-item.htm
The sandbox and production server contain API demo pages which send well-formed API requests to our site.

===== How Does it Work? =====
This API requires the personal API code. It is therefore not possible to use AJAX requests.
The Add/Remove Cart Item API works by posting data to our service.
You can use either XML or JSON formats for posting. The HTTP encoding type of a particular request depends on the type of API you are going to use. This will be described in the corresponding section of this page.
To specify the exact content type which your client can accept and parse, the Accept header in your request has to be set to one of the following encoding types:
• text/json\\
• text/xml\\
To add/remove cart item to/from cart through the **Add/Remove Cart Item API**, POST a well-structured request via “HTTPS” to this URL:
https://i.materialise.com/web-api/cart/{cartid}/items
To use APIs of the sandbox, the POST needs to be submitted to:
https://imatsandbox.materialise.net/web-api/cart/{cartid}/items
The server will return a structured response in XML or JSON which your application can parse.
Adding of cart items should be done using:
Request Method:POST
Removal of cart items should be done using:
Request Method:DELETE
===== Documentation =====
This API can be used whenever you need to add more items after cart is created or remove the item form your cart. Both operation can be done only before cart is ordered.
In order to add or remove cart items, you need to know following data:
• ID of the cart to add/remove items \\
