Shopify API returns empty cart
Using this API: https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/development/getting-started/using-ajax-api#add-to-cart
From my messenger bot I call cart/add.js multiple times with the variant id and quantity and it returns a success message, but I call cart.js to retrieve the items, the cart is always empty.
I'm adding items to the cart like this:
$cartAPI = 'https://'.$shopKey.':'.$shopSecret.'@'.$shopUrl.'/cart/add.js';
$request = $client->request('POST', $cartAPI, [
'form_params' => [
'id' => (int) $productID,
'quantity' => 1
]
]);
And retrieving cart like this:
$cartAPI = 'https://'.$shopKey.':'.$shopSecret.'@'.$shopUrl.'/cart.js';
$request = $client->get($cartAPI);
I tried to include cookies in the Guzzle call like so
$this->client = new Client(['cookies' => true]); and both calls use the same client instance, but it still returns an empty cart.
I don't use CloudFlare or any Caching mechanism for this.
What am I doing wrong?

You are doing something wrong. Why would you make a call to Shopify with a key and a secret? Are you not selling yourself a little short here? I mean if I examined your source code, and saw a key and secret, I would be able to use that to do anything I want. Is that the goal here? Allowing anyone on the Internet to make you look silly? Shopify has a button you can place anywhere to add products to a cart. You can use that. It is secure.

Thank you for your comment. Appreciated. You will not find the secret key if you examined my code. Credentials are put in a unversioned.envfile and I couldn't put any button since this is for a chatbot. Now, can we focus on the matter here?

Solution i figured out here for anyone having the same issue. I needed to use the cart cookie. Ended up doing something like:
$cartCookie = Cache::tags(['user:' .$userId, 'cookies'])->get('cart');
if (!$cartCookie) {
$client = new Client(['cookies' => true]);
} else {
$cookieJar = CookieJar::fromArray([
'cart' => $cartCookie,
], conf('shop.url'));
$client = new Client(['cookies' => $cookieJar]);
}
Cookie is stored in the cache the first time the user adds an item to the cart and used for recurrent adds. I had to put it in Cache since I'm building a chatbot but you can just use cookies from your browser.
