Hello,
Thank you in advance.
Is there any way to check Shopware version through API. for example shop URL - **[https://example.shop.com](https://example.shop.com)** is a running Shopware 5 or Shopware 6 without using any credentials.

You should be able to detect version in storefronts, by looking into the source.
For safety reasons there isn’t a safe way to detect version on default.
Additionally, there are Browser-Extensions trying to display what is running on sites.
What do you want with this information? 🙂

Hi,
you can find our Docs here: [https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/api](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/api)
You could also use our Swagger Examples, just call „[http://your-domain.com/api/v1/\_info/swagger.html](http://your-domain.com/api/v1/_info/swagger.html)“
Best regards from Schöppingen

as the error says, you try to make a POST request, you should use GET (as the error says)

It’s HTML not JSON. You need to open it in your Browser.
