Request
POST /orders
URI Parameters
None.
Request Headers
- Content-Type
- Required. Set this header to
application/json; charset=UTF-8
- Cookie
- Optional. A cookie named OwnerId may be specified to identify the client (for most browser clients, the browser will do this automatically, depending on the browser configuration). The value of the cookie would come from the response to a previous request for this resource (in the Set-Cookie response header).
Request Body
{
"clientIp": {client_ip_address}
}
Parameters
- clientIp - string
- Optional. The IP address of the client that submitted the order. If not provided, the IP address of the client that called the API will be used. The IP address may be used to check the order for possible fraud. This parameter may be useful in cases where the API client accepts and relays orders from a 3rd-party customer (such as a shopping cart application). This parameter requires elevated permissions.
Response
Status Code
| Status Code | Error Message | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 201 Created | - | The new order was created. |
| 400 Bad Request | User cannot specify the client IP address | The client attempted to pass the client IP address and is not allowed. Use of this parameter requires elevated permissions. |
| 409 Conflict | A new order has already been created for this ownerID | The client already has an open order. If the OwnerId cookie was passed in the request headers, a 409 will be returned if there's already an open (unsubmitted) order for the same client. |
Response Headers
- Location
- Returned with successful response. Contains the order URI. The client must use this URI for all subsequent operations with the order.
