Elastic Path Custom API Entries API is one of 100 APIs that [Elastic Path](https://apis.io/providers/elastic-path/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Custom API Entries. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

A **Custom API Entry** is a specific instance of a resource, such as a single wishlist in a Custom API for wishlists. Custom API Entries can be accessed in two different ways, via the **extension** endpoint, or the **settings** endpoint: * Extension Endpoint: `/v2/extensions/{custom-api-slug}` - This is the primary endpoint created for use. Most clients should use this endpoint as it adheres to the semantics of the configuration. Retrieve the [OpenAPI Specifications](/docs/api/commerce-extensions/get-open-api-specification) to learn how to interact with this endpoint. * Settings Endpoint: `/v2/settings/extensions/custom-apis/{custom-api-id}/entries/` - This endpoint should only be used in cases where you want to interact with your Custom APIs in a generic way in an admin capacity. Currently, the distinction between these endpoints is minimal. The extension endpoint uses a slug in the URL path, and the settings endpoint uses an ID. For most use cases involving the new Custom API, we recommend using the extension endpoint. Conceptually, the settings endpoint is analogous to reflection in most programming languages. You use it when you want to operate in a generic way. For example, we used the settings endpoint to build Commerce Manager. Another example is if you need to import and export various types of data from CSV files. Instead of writing multiple scripts for different extension endpoints, you can write one script that operates on the settings endpoint. ## Events You can integrate Commerce Extensions with your external systems by observing the appropriate events. For more information, see [Integrations](/docs/api/integrations/integrations-introduction). Given you have a Custom API with `api_type` of `wishlist_ext` and you want to perform additional processing when an action is taken, like when a wishlist is created: ```bash curl -X POST https://useast.api.elasticpath.com/v2/extensions/wishlists \ -H "Authorization: Bearer XXXX" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d $ { "data": { "type": "wishlist_ext", "name": "My Wishlist", "items_count": 0, "keep_purchased": false } } ``` When you [create an integration](/docs/api/integrations/create-integration) with `wishlist_ext.created` in `observes` field. Then the configured `webhook` or `aws_sqs` will receive the appropriate message. You can configure integrations to observe the following events for your Custom API Entries: * Created * Updated * Deleted
