I use two independent eCommerce platforms that don't officially support communication with one another, however, both have exposed REST API for managing products, orders, etc.
My question is: how can I leverage their APIs to allow the two platforms to exchange data? Neither platform offers a workspace to code API calls and execute on retrieved records, so I don't understand how this scenario fits in the client server model.
Would this require a third node to be set up to act as the client with each of the eCommerce platforms acting as servers? If so, then I surmise that this client would need to, for example, perform a GET request from Platform A, store the retrieved records in a database, then perform a POST to create the records in Platform B.
If my above understanding is correct, can anyone please advise on a platform/service with which this functionality can be built and managed? Is Postman what I'm looking for?
I'm still new to web API development, so please excuse my ignorance. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
