AvantGuard - Pax8 - Partner

Overview

The "Find Orders" operation in the "Orders" resource allows users to retrieve a list of orders from the Pax8 Partner API. This node is useful for scenarios where you need to query and fetch order data programmatically, such as generating reports, syncing order information with other systems, or monitoring order statuses.

For example, you might use this node to:

• Retrieve all orders for a specific company.
• Paginate through large sets of orders by specifying page number and size.
• Filter orders based on company ID to focus on relevant data.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of orders retrieved from the API. The structure typically includes an array of order objects with details such as order IDs, dates, statuses, and associated company information.

If binary data were involved (e.g., attachments), it would be included in a separate binary output field, but this node focuses on JSON order data only.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pax8 Partner API.
• The node uses the base URL https://api.pax8.com/v1 to make requests.
• No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the API access.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication errors.
  • Providing an invalid company ID or page number may result in empty responses or errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication failures usually indicate incorrect or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
  • HTTP 400 or 404 errors may mean invalid query parameters; check that page, size, and companyId values are correct.
  • Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues; retry or check network settings.
