Getting current Cart Id in Bigcommerce

So, I am using the cart API of Bigcommerce for adding items to the cart from a different domain which is working fine. However, when I try to repeat adding other items to the same cart it does not work. So, is there a way I can get the cart ID for an instance so that I can update my items to the existing cart?

The Storefront API allows you to retrieve the current cart.

Execute this in the javascript console after adding an item to cart

fetch('/api/storefront/carts?include=',
{
  'credentials':'include',
  'headers':{
    'Accept':'application/json', 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
}).then(function(response){ 
  response.json().then(function(data) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 3))
  })
});

returns something like this

[
   {
      "id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-ccccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
      "customerId": 0,
      "email": null,
      "currency": {

When you created your first item, the response will include Cart ID. Use this Cart ID to add more items to the same cart.
