SHOP.COM Developer Portal: Ports in Paths

The developer portal for SHOP.COM is integrated with the SHOP.COM services gateway platform. This integration offers many benefits, but it also creates one peculiarity. In the SHOP.COM developer portal, references to service endpoints include a port in the base URL: https://api.shop.com:8443

From within the developer portal, when exploring the API, the port is needed and therefore present in references seen in the developer portal.

However, the proper format for the base URL for all external calls, that developers should use, would NOT include the port: https://api.shop.com/
