Learning to use Cortex Studio

What is Cortex Studio?

Cortex Studio is a customized REST client Web Application that offers an excellent starting point for trying out and testing Cortex API features.

How can Cortex Studio help you?

Through the tool, you can easily access all Cortex API features (search, add to cart, Zoom, followLocation, Authenticate...everything!), make requests, and examine the JSON responses to get a better understanding of Cortex API. Studio also has a number of embedded developer tools to help you develop your applications even faster.
