b2c-scapi-schemas

Browse and retrieve SCAPI OpenAPI schema specifications. Use this skill whenever the user needs to list available SCAPI APIs, inspect endpoint paths or request/response shapes, explore data models for products or orders, check which fields an API returns, or understand SCAPI versioning. Also use when looking up API details before building an integration -- even if they just say 'what fields does the product API return' or 'show me the SCAPI endpoints'.

B2C SCAPI Schemas Skill

Use the b2c CLI plugin to browse and retrieve SCAPI OpenAPI schema specifications.

Tip: If b2c is not installed globally, use npx @salesforce/b2c-cli instead (e.g., npx @salesforce/b2c-cli scapi schemas list).

Configuration

Values like tenantId and shortCode resolve from dw.json / SFCC_* env vars / the active instance. Examples below show minimal usage; add flags only to override configured values. If a required value is missing, the CLI emits an actionable error pointing at the flag, env var, and config key. See the b2c-config skill for precedence details.

Tenant ID vs. Organization ID

The tenant ID identifies your B2C Commerce instance for SCAPI calls. It is not the same as the organization ID:

Tenant ID: zzxy_prd (the tenantId value in dw.json, or --tenant-id override)
Organization ID: f_ecom_zzxy_prd (used in SCAPI URLs, has f_ecom_ prefix)

Deriving Tenant ID from Hostname

For sandbox instances, derive the tenant ID from the hostname by replacing hyphens with underscores:

Hostname	Tenant ID
`zzpq-013.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com`	`zzpq_013`
`zzxy-001.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com`	`zzxy_001`
`abcd-dev.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com`	`abcd_dev`

For production instances, use your realm and instance identifier (e.g., zzxy_prd).

Examples

List Available Schemas

# list all available SCAPI schemas (uses configured tenant)
b2c scapi schemas list

# list with JSON output
b2c scapi schemas list --json

# target a different tenant than the active config
b2c scapi schemas list --tenant-id zzxy_prd

Filter Schemas

# filter by API family (e.g., product, checkout, search)
b2c scapi schemas list --api-family product

# filter by API name
b2c scapi schemas list --api-name shopper-products

# filter by status
b2c scapi schemas list --status current

Get Schema (Collapsed/Outline - Default)

By default, schemas are output in a collapsed format optimized for context efficiency. This is ideal for agentic use cases and LLM consumption.

# get collapsed schema (paths show methods, schemas show names only)
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1

# save to file
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 > schema.json

Get Schema with Selective Expansion

Expand only the parts of the schema you need:

# expand specific paths
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --expand-paths /products,/products/{productId}

# expand specific schemas
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --expand-schemas Product,ProductResult

# combine expansions
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --expand-paths /products --expand-schemas Product

Get Full Schema

# get full schema without any collapsing
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --expand-all

List Available Paths/Schemas/Examples

Discover what’s available in a schema before expanding:

# list all paths in the schema
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --list-paths

# list all schema names
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --list-schemas

# list all examples
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --list-examples

Output Formats

# output as YAML
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --yaml

# output wrapped JSON with metadata (apiFamily, apiName, apiVersion, schema)
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --json

Custom Properties

# include custom properties (default behavior)
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1

# exclude custom properties
b2c scapi schemas get product shopper-products v1 --no-expand-custom-properties

Configuration Overrides

The tenant ID and short code can be overridden via flags or environment variables:

--tenant-id / SFCC_TENANT_ID / tenantId in dw.json
--short-code / SFCC_SHORTCODE / shortCode in dw.json

More Commands

See b2c scapi schemas --help for a full list of available commands and options.
