Hi,

I have a shopware app, in which i want to help my clients to add matomo tracking code to their shopware shops. I couldnt find a proper way to do it except what chatgpt tells me: i need to make a custom plugin which will injects the code, then i need to „Use the /api/v{version}/plugin/{pluginId}/install endpoint to install the plugin.  
Activate Plugin: Use the /api/v{version}/plugin/{pluginId}/activate endpoint to activate the plugin.“

Is it true that there exist the **api end points for installing and activating a plugin**? I can’t find official docs for it.

Thanks in advance:)

I’ve never heard of it. There is a CLI command for that: bin/console plugin:install xyz.

But is should be easy to write your own plugin api plugin.

> Moin, du kannst folgende Funktionen nutzen: PUT: /api/\_action/extension/activate/plugin/PLUGINNAMESPACE PUT: /api/\_action/extension/deactivate/plugin/PLUGINNAMESPACE POST: /api/\_action/extension/install/plugin/PLUGINNAMESPACE POST: /api/\_action/extension/uninstall/plugin/PLUGINNAMESPACE DELETE /api/\_action/extension/remove/plugin/PLUGINNAMESPACE Ich hoffe, das hilft schon mal etwas slight_smile Grüße Matthias
