  BlueCart is an end-to-end eCommerce and procurement platform for the hospitality and food and beverage industries,
  connecting restaurants and buyers with wholesale distributors and suppliers. It streamlines wholesale ordering, order
  management, inventory, and payments for both sides of the supply chain. BlueCart exposes a public REST API that lets
  distributors and partners programmatically manage products, orders, customers, catalogs, and users, returning JSON
  responses and integrating BlueCart data with external accounting, eCommerce, and logistics systems used across
  foodservice operations.

      The BlueCart API is defined using REST with predictable, resource-oriented URLs and returns JSON-encoded responses
      with standard HTTP status codes. It is authenticated using AWS Signature Version 4 against the AWS execute-api
      service in the us-east-1 region, requiring an Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and API Key generated from the
      BlueCart app under Settings, API Access Credentials. The API operates on one object per request and does not
      support bulk updates, uses next-token pagination returning 25 items per page on collection endpoints, and ships
      with a Postman collection to help developers make their first request. It exposes resources for orders, products,
      catalogs, clients, and users.
