  BlueCart is an end-to-end eCommerce and procurement platform for the
  hospitality and food and beverage industries, connecting restaurants and
  buyers with wholesale distributors and suppliers. It streamlines wholesale
  ordering, order management, inventory, and payments for both sides of the
  supply chain. BlueCart exposes a public REST API that lets distributors and
  partners programmatically manage products, orders, customers, catalogs, and
  users, returning JSON responses and integrating BlueCart data with external
  accounting, eCommerce, and logistics systems used across foodservice
  operations.

      The BlueCart API is defined using REST with predictable, resource-oriented
      URLs and returns JSON-encoded responses with standard HTTP status codes.
      It is authenticated using AWS Signature Version 4 against the AWS
      execute-api service in the us-east-1 region, requiring an Access Key ID,
      Secret Access Key, and API Key generated from the BlueCart app under
      Settings, API Access Credentials. The API operates on one object per
      request and does not support bulk updates, uses next-token pagination
      returning 25 items per page on collection endpoints, and ships with a
      Postman collection to help developers make their first request. It exposes
      resources for orders, products, catalogs, clients, and users.
