OpenCart RESTful APIs

I am in process of creating OpenCart RESTful APIs for an android application. Now I have created an API which would login the customer. No issue. But I don't know how can I handle session cart for each customer who is logged in through android app.

Is there any Token maintained by OpenCart or any cart session variable which I can use.

I saw somewhere in source "$this->session->data['cart']" but couldn't understand its function properly.

Thanks for the help

The $this->session->data['cart'] object is identical to: $_SESSION['cart'] . It passes the super global array to the browser from jQuery, in this case, to add the products to the cart on the top-right of the template. Then, the controllers, models and templates can recall the class and the method by using: $this->cart->getProducts() . However, $this->session->data['cart'] can still be used at anytime only without any featured calculations while $this->cart->getProducts() returns a massive array of keys and values that contains calculated information based on the admin's end preferences that are specifically set by the merchant.
