Theme

Version: 1.0

A theme is the look and feel template for your haravan shop.

omni_api_theme

A shop can have multiple themes which take the role of either "published" or "unpublished". Each shop can have 20 themes total, including one main theme, and a max of 19 unpublished themes. The published theme is the one customers see when visiting the shop in a desktop browser. Unpublished themes are themes that customers cannot currently see. When you publish a theme, the previously published theme will become unpublished.

What you can do with Theme?

The haravan API lets you do the following with the Theme resource. More detailed versions of these general actions may be available:

Create a new Theme

POST
/web/themes.json

Create a theme by providing the public URL of a .zip containing the theme. The theme always starts out with a role of "unpublished." If a different role is provided in the POST request, the theme will be given that role only after all its files have been extracted and stored by haravan (which might take a couple of minutes).

Create a theme from a URL and give it a custom name and role.

  • POST /web/themes.json
{
"theme": {
"name": "Lemongrass",
"src": "http:\/\/themes.haravan.com\/theme.zip",
"role": "main"
}
}

Response:
