# Zalando

> Zalando is Europe's leading online platform for fashion and lifestyle. Its zDirect Platform (Merchant/Partner Platform) exposes OAuth2-protected REST APIs for the full article lifecycle: products, attributes, prices, stock, offer availability, orders, sales channels, logistic centers, and Zalando Fulfillment Solutions (ZFS) stock movements and cross-border reporting. APIs follow the Zalando RESTful API Guidelines and use JSON:API and problem+json media types.
