b2c-scapi-custom

name: b2c-scapi-custom description: Check custom SCAPI endpoint registration status using the b2c CLI. Use this skill whenever the user needs to verify that their custom API endpoints are registered and working, debug 404 or "endpoint not found" errors on custom APIs, or list custom API endpoints and their deployment status — even if they just say "my custom API returns 404" or "is my endpoint deployed".

B2C SCAPI Custom APIs Skill

Use the b2c CLI plugin to manage SCAPI Custom API endpoints and check their registration status.

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

Configuration

Values like tenantId, shortCode, clientId, and clientSecret resolve from dw.json / SFCC_* env vars / the active instance / configuration plugins. Examples below show minimal usage; add flags only to override configured values — passing --client-id/--client-secret/--tenant-id/--short-code is usually unnecessary. If a required value is missing, the CLI emits an actionable error pointing at the flag, env var, and config key.

Run b2c setup inspect to see the resolved configuration and which source provided each value (--json for scripting, --unmask to reveal secrets). For precedence rules and troubleshooting, see the b2c-cli:b2c-config skill.

Tenant ID vs. Organization ID

The tenant ID identifies your B2C Commerce instance. 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:

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

Examples

Get Custom API Endpoint Status

# list all Custom API endpoints for the configured tenant
b2c scapi custom status

# list with JSON output
b2c scapi custom status --json

# target a different tenant than the active config
b2c scapi custom status --tenant-id zzxy_prd

Filter by Status

# list only active endpoints
b2c scapi custom status --status active

# list only endpoints that failed to register
b2c scapi custom status --status not_registered

Group by Type or Site

# group endpoints by API type (Admin vs Shopper)
b2c scapi custom status --group-by type

# group endpoints by site
b2c scapi custom status --group-by site

Customize Output Columns

# show extended columns (includes error reasons, sites, etc.)
b2c scapi custom status --extended

# select specific columns to display
b2c scapi custom status --columns type,apiName,status,sites

# available columns: type, apiName, apiVersion, cartridgeName, endpointPath, httpMethod, status, sites, securityScheme, operationId, schemaFile, implementationScript, errorReason, id

Debug Failed Registrations

# quickly find and diagnose failed Custom API registrations
b2c scapi custom status --status not_registered --columns type,apiName,endpointPath,errorReason

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 custom --help for a full list of available commands and options.

OAuth Scopes (manual token minting)

b2c scapi custom status injects the scopes it needs automatically — the domain scope sfcc.custom-apis plus the tenant scope SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:<tenant_id>. You don't pass these for the command itself.

When you mint a token by hand (with b2c auth token or curl) to call a custom Admin API directly, that injection does not happen — you must list both the tenant scope and your scope(s) yourself. b2c auth token accepts multiple scopes (repeat --auth-scope or comma-separate):

# Token for calling a custom Admin API endpoint
b2c auth token \
  --auth-scope "SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:zzpq_013" \
  --auth-scope c_my_admin_scope

A token missing the tenant scope returns 403. See b2c:b2c-custom-api-development (Testing Reference) for full request examples.
