OrderDesk

Interact with OrderDesk API

Overview

The node interacts with the OrderDesk API, specifically allowing operations on various resources such as Orders, Shipments, Inventory Items, Move Orders, and Store Settings. For the Orders - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific order by its unique Order ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch order details for processing, reporting, or integration with other systems.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching an order's status and contents before shipping.
  • Retrieving customer and payment details for order verification.
  • Integrating order data into external dashboards or CRMs.

Properties

Name Meaning
Order ID The unique identifier of the order to retrieve. Required to specify which order to get.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested order. This typically includes fields such as order metadata, customer information, items ordered, pricing, status, and any custom fields associated with the order.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the order, but this is not evident from the provided code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the OrderDesk API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://app.orderdesk.me.
  • The node expects JSON responses and sends JSON-formatted requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Order ID will cause the API to return errors or empty results.
    • Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the OrderDesk API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
    • "Order not found": Verify the Order ID is correct and exists in the OrderDesk account.
    • "Request timeout" or similar network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the OrderDesk service is operational.
