Fulfillment.com APIv2
Welcome to our current iteration of our REST API. While we encourage you to upgrade to v2.0 we will continue support for our SOAP API. # Versioning The Fulfillment.com (FDC) REST API is version controlled and backwards compatible. We have many future APIs scheduled for publication within our v2.0 spec so please be prepared for us to add data nodes in our responses, however, we will not remove knowledge from previously published APIs. #### A Current Response ```javascript { id: 123 } ``` #### A Potential Future Response ```javascript { id: 123, reason: "More Knowledge" } ``` # Getting Started We use OAuth v2.0 to authenticate clients, you can choose implicit or password grant type. To obtain an OAuth `client_id` and `client_secret` contact your account executive. **Tip**: Generate an additional login and use those credentials for your integration so that changes are accredited to that "user". You are now ready to make requests to our other APIs by filling your `Authorization` header with `Bearer {access_token}`. ## Perpetuating Access Perpetuating access to FDC without storing your password locally can be achieved using the `refresh_token` returned by POST /oauth/access_token.

Plan the first integration safely
The access fields below come from the connected directory. Their likely implementation impact is explained without assuming provider-specific behavior.
Authentication
OAuth is reported. Confirm flows, scopes, consent, token lifetime, and refresh rules.
Transport
HTTPS is not confirmed. Do not send credentials or production data until secure transport is verified.
Browser access
CORS is unknown. Treat direct browser access as unconfirmed and test before choosing a client-only architecture.
First-request sequence
- Identify the current base URL, version, and endpoint for the use case.
- Confirm how credentials are issued and where they may be stored.
- Test success, invalid input, throttling, unavailable data, and timeouts.
- Record response fields, pagination, caching, and error shapes.
- Add monitoring, retries with backoff, and an appropriate fallback.
Questions to resolve before production
Pricing and quotas
Confirm current plans, free-tier limits, overages, and request ceilings.
Endpoint coverage
Check that the operations and response fields match the intended workload.
Reliability
Look for uptime history, a status page, support routes, and service commitments.
Data and privacy
Review retention, licensing, regional processing, and compliance requirements.
Versioning
Confirm the active version, change policy, deprecation window, and migration guidance.
Developer experience
Validate SDKs, examples, error formats, pagination, and test environments.
