This section provides a comprehensive guide to the Order Processing API, which allows developers to integrate order processing functionalities into their applications.

Overview

The Order Processing API is designed to facilitate the creation, modification, and retrieval of orders. It supports various endpoints that enable you to perform actions such as placing new orders, updating existing orders, and fetching order details.

Endpoints

Create Order

To create a new order, you can use the /orders endpoint. This endpoint requires the following parameters:

  • product_id: The unique identifier of the product.
  • quantity: The number of units to be ordered.
  • customer_id: The unique identifier of the customer.

Example request:

POST /orders
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "product_id": "12345",
  "quantity": 2,
  "customer_id": "67890"
}

Update Order

You can update an existing order using the /orders/{order_id} endpoint. This endpoint allows you to modify the order's quantity or customer.

Example request:

PUT /orders/12345
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "quantity": 3,
  "customer_id": "67890"
}

Fetch Order Details

To retrieve the details of a specific order, use the /orders/{order_id} endpoint.

Example response:

{
  "order_id": "12345",
  "product_id": "12345",
  "quantity": 2,
  "customer_id": "67890",
  "status": "shipped",
  "created_at": "2023-01-01T12:00:00Z"
