# Nabis

> Nabis is a licensed cannabis wholesale distributor and B2B marketplace (founded 2018, Vince C. Ning
> and Jun S. Lee) operating in California, New York and Nevada. It publishes the Nabis Platform API —
> a read-only, API-key-authenticated JSON REST API for brands and retailers covering inventory,
> inventory history, orders, invoices, retailers, warehouses and the delivery calendar, plus an
> implementation of the Universal Cannabis API labeling standard for order manifests.

Generated by API Evangelist on 2026-08-26 from the provider's public developer portal. Nabis does not
publish an llms.txt of its own (https://www.nabis.com/llms.txt and https://developers.nabis.com/llms.txt
both returned 404 on 2026-08-26).

## What an agent needs to know first

- Base URL: https://platform-api.nabis.pro — the v2 API lives under /v2/, the Universal Cannabis API
  routes under /ucapi/. Note the API is on nabis.pro, a different registrable domain from the docs
  (developers.nabis.com) and the website (nabis.com).
- Auth: a static API key in the header `x-nabis-access-token`. No OAuth, no OIDC, no scopes, no
  bearer tokens, no test mode and no sandbox. One key per organization, reading live production data.
- The whole published API is READ-ONLY: 23 operations, every one a GET. Nothing can be created,
  amended, cancelled or reversed through it. Order placement and invoice payment happen in the web
  application at https://app.nabis.com.
- Rate limit: 15 requests per minute per key. 429 on exhaustion, with no Retry-After header.
- Pagination: 0-indexed. `page` and `limit` are both REQUIRED on paginated routes. Max 500 records
  per call regardless of `limit` (which itself caps at 1000). Drive loops off `nextPage`, not
  `totalNumPages` — `totalNumPages` is 0-indexed except when there is exactly one page.
- Dates in must be `YYYY-MM-DD`, nothing else. Timestamps out are ISO 8601 UTC.
- Errors are `{"statusCode": <int>, "message": <string>}`. Not RFC 9457, and with no stable
  machine-readable error code.
- Inventory quantities are NOT real time: `warehouseCount` is a cached sync that may lag 30 minutes
  or more, and `warehouseCount.updatedAt` records the last detected DELTA, not the last sync run.
  Nabis's own guidance is to treat availability as a soft signal, not a guarantee.
- California and New York are separate route trees (`/v2/...` and `/v2/ny/...`) with duplicated,
  non-identical schemas. Nevada, which the company operates in, has no routes at all.

## Standards

- [Universal Cannabis API](https://github.com/Cannabis-Labeling-API/universal-cannabis-api): multi-vendor cannabis labeling standard Nabis implements and contributes to
- Metrc state track-and-trace is an operational dependency; `metrcManifestId` is exposed on GET /ucapi/order/{orderId}
