Default How to get complete order information via REST API

We are trying to use the V5.3.3.3 version of the REST API to get orders on V5.3.5.3 XCart to import into QuickBooks.

We are not finding the API documentation to be of much help.

We would like to be able to get all the information in 1 call which should include complete customer info (i.e.adresses, phone numbers, etc) and all items. But so far have only been able to get general info.

All other attempts to do anything else gets a
Unable to connect to the remote server No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

This URL is the only one that works but does not provide complete order info (i.e. with items and customer info).
"https://clientdomain.com/admin.php?target=RESTPAI&_key=" & APIKey & "&path=order"

Using &_path fails same error
Using &path=orderitems fails same error

Please advise on how we can get complete orders from the rest api.

Thanks

Hi @QuickBooksDev,

Did you try to use schema=complex in REST API request:
https://devs.x-cart.com/rest-api/#what-data-i-can-pull

Essentially, try to run the same request with _path=order, but add &_schema=complex bit to it and you will see whether the data returned is sufficient enough for your task.

Thanks for replying. I have looked at that web page but it is not clear how to do a orders complex schema. What should be in the URL? I have tried &schema=complex and & "&_schema=complex" but always get 'unable to connect ...'.

What is the correct URL format? I am use VB.Net not php so there may be things that I don't understand looking at the php.

'&_schema=complex' should be in the URL. Did you try to open the URL in browser? Does it display anything?

I am thinking maybe this problem is somewhat related to VB.Net making requests, not to X-Cart directly.

It should be something like:
Code:
http://xcart.localhost/admin.php?target=RESTAPI&_key=yourkey&_path=order&_schema=complex

What if you try to run request like this:
Code:
http://xcart.localhost/admin.php?target=RESTAPI&_key=yourkey&_path=order/1&_schema=complex

where 1 is ID of some order. Does it fire the same error?

Hi Tony,

Do we have APIs for placing an order? We need two APIs

1) Get all available shipping methods & cost based on the address
2) Order placement (Inputs: Customer address, payment method, shipping methods selected)

Default Re: How to get complete order information via REST API

Hello,

following the help provided here https://devs.x-cart.com/rest-api/examples.html#changing-the-shipping-status-for-an-order, does anybody know if I change the shipping status (or the payment status) for an order the customer will get an email from the eshop?

I tested and I did not got an email and I was thinking if I make something wrong.
