It has predictable resource URLs, accepts JSON in the HTTP body, returns JSON-encoded\nresponses, and uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate errors, methods and authentication.\nOur API uses `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` methods to perform all operations. \n`GET` method is both used for retrieval of a single or listing multiple objects at once.\n\n## Conventions\n* HTTPS is required for all requests. Requests over plain HTTP will fail.\n* All requests without authentication will fail.\n* Bulk request is supported only to upload articles into Incloud.\n* Property names are in `snake_case` (not `camelCase` or `kebab-case`).\n* Temporal values (datetimes) are encoded in [RFC 3339](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3339) strings, e.g. `2022-06-06T12:37:00Z`.\n* All path parameters are always returned in response body, except for `POST` and `PUT` methods.\n\n## Authentication \nInstock API offers authentication in form of Bearer token.\nBearer token must be present in each request header. \nThe token provides a full access to all resources and methods of Instock API to its client.\n\n**Note**: currently Bearer token is issued by Instock and supplied to API users during onboarding.\n\nFor example, if you'd like to retrieve sites available to your organization, your request will look like:\n\n``` cURL\ncurl -X GET \n -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n -H 'Authorization: {access_token}' \\\n https://api.instock.com/v1/sites \\\n```\n\n## Errors \n\nInstock API always returns errors in a common format. For example:\n```JSON\n{\n \"code\": \"bad_request\",\n \"message\": \"Request body/path/query params cannot be validated.\"\n}\n```\nThe `code` indicates the general class of error read by your Host system.\nThe `message` is a human-readable explanation of what went wrong.\n\n### Common HTTP error code responses\n\n| **HTTP code** | **Code** | **Description** | **Potential solution** |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 400 | `bad_request` | The request could not be understood. | Ensure that syntax is correct in parameters of request and its body. |\n| 400 | `resource_cannot_be_created` | Resource may already exist or has certain creation rules. | Ensure that resource doesn't already exist or it doesn't have any restrictions for creation.
For bulk operations, ensure that all objects are valid. |\n| 400 | `resource_cannot_be_updated` | Resource has certain update rules. | Ensure that resource doesn't have any restrictions that can yield this error. |\n| 401 | `unauthorized` | Requestor is unauthorized. | Ensure that your access token is valid. |\n| 403 | `forbidden` | Requestor does not have permissions to perform an operation. | Ensure that your access token has permissions to perform an operation. |\n| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Resource doesn't exist. | Ensure that the resource is correctly identified by ID. |\n| 500 | `internal_server_error` | Something went wrong on our end. | An unexpected error occurred. Reach out to Instock for support. |\n\n**Note**: each endpoint below has samples of errors it may return. \n\n## Request IDs\nInstock API auto-generates request identifier with each API response.\nYou can find this value in the response headers as `Instock-Request-ID`.\nUse it to refer to a specific request when debugging or reaching out to Instock for support.\n\n``` \nInstock-Request-ID: request_id\n```\n\n## Correlation IDs\nYou can optionally extend your request and add `Instock-Correlation-ID` to the header.\nUse it to analyze incorrect and faulty behavior across your Host system. \nFor example, if you'd like to retrieve sites available to your organization and pass `Instock-Correlation-ID`, your\nrequest will look like:\n\n``` cURL\ncurl -X GET \n -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n -H 'Authorization: your-token' \\\n -H 'Instock-Correlation-ID: your-correlation-id' \\\n https://api.instock.com/v1/sites \\\n```\n\n## Pagination \nEndpoints that return a list of objects use pagination. Instock API uses cursor-based pagination.\nThis approach allows Host system to request a part of the list, receiving results and `next_cursor` in the response.\nThe latter could be used to access the next part of the list.\n\n**Note**: setting `page_size` lesser than 10 or greater than 1000 will yield an error.\n\n| Parameter | Request/Response | Type | Description |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `start_cursor` | Request | string
(optional) | Cursor returned from a previous response, used to request the next page of the results. |\n| `page_size` | Request | string
(optional) | The number of objects returned in response.
Has default and maximum values. |\n| `has_more` | Response | bool | If `true`, use `next_cursor` to access next part of the list.
If `false`, response includes the end of the list. |\n| `next_cursor` | Response | string | Only available when `has_more` is `true`.
Used to retrieve the next page of results by passing the value as the `start_cursor`
parameter to the same endpoint. |\n\n## Unique identifiers\n\nThroughout API reference below, you will encounter multiple unique identifiers (UIDs) that are required to perform\ncertain operations.\nFor example, to create customer order, your Host system must:\n * provide `site_id` to specify exact instance of Instock ASRS installation,\n * and supply `order_id`. Usually `order_id` value corresponds to the ID of an order that Host system has.\n\nThe table below indicates source (which system issues UID) and scope (at what level UID must be unique).\n\n| ID | Source | Scope | Description |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `org_id` | Instock | Global | ID assigned to your organization by Instock. |\n| `site_id` | Instock | Global | ID assigned to an individual Instock site that belongs to your organization. |\n| `article_id` | Host | Organization | ID of a product/SKU uploaded by Host system to Incloud. |\n| `order_id` | Host | Organization | ID of an order created by Host system in Incloud. |\n| `ordertask_id` | Instock | Organization | ID of an individual chunk of order fulfillment. |\n\n## Additional attributes \n\nEvery article and order contain `attributes`, which are reserved for custom and pre-defined parameters that your \norganization may require for fulfillment-related operations. \n\n### Custom attributes\n\nBefore integration, your IT and Instock teams should agree upon `attributes` that will be configured \nspecifically for your site(s). Incloud will consume these attributes to perform certain operations throughout \nfulfillment process, e.g. decanting, picking. Attributes can be added or updated in two ways: via API during operations\nsuch as customer order creation or through the workstation UI during operation at ASRS, like decanting.\n\n#### Order attributes\n\nFor example, `cutoff_time` for a customer order — the time when order fulfillment starts, i.e. change its status from `registered` to `reserved`. \n\n``` JSON\n{\n \"org_id\": \"org_id_001\",\n \"site_id\": \"1.1.0-1\",\n \"order_id\": \"order_id_001\",\n \"kind\": \"customer\",\n \"placed_at\": \"2022-03-05T07:38:39Z\",\n \"attributes\": {\n \"cutoff_time\": \"2022-03-05T16:00:00Z\",\n },\n \"lines\": [\n {\n \"line_id\": \"00132455-1\",\n \"article_id\": \"1003000031678\",\n \"qty\": 1\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\nAnother example involves adding an Advanced Shipping Notice ID (ASN ID) by an associate during decanting.\nThis attribute can be retrieved via API in a reception order. This way, you'll be able to track reception in your\nsystem using the order attribute during decanting.\n\n```\n{\n \"org_id\": \"org_id_001\",\n \"site_id\": \"1.1.0-1\",\n \"order_id\": \"8b72a983-c909-4dd6-b5d4-01d1f4b2a608\",\n \"kind\": \"reception\",\n \"placed_at\": \"2024-03-27T13:22:47Z\",\n \"attributes\": {\n \"org_id_001:asn\": \"ASN-1818AE4RF\"\n },\n \"lines\": [\n {\n \"line_id\": \"af7e23f7-08e7-4cf1-b644-1b0cf329e574\",\n \"article_id\": \"99.21004\",\n \"qty\": 15\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n#### Article attributes\n\nAnother example involves the use of product identifiers. While `article_id` serves as the standard unique identifier, \nour system allows organizations to incorporate alternative identifiers, such as EAN, SKU, UPC, ISBN within the article\nobject as attributes (see the example below). These identifiers enable warehouse associates to scan products\nusing those specific codes designated by your organization during decanting.\n\n``` JSON\n{\n \"articles\": [\n {\n \"article_id\": \"116000487727\",\n \"name\": \"Cheerios Original Cereal, 12 Oz\",\n \"is_serial_numbered\": false,\n \"dimensions\": {\n \"x\": \"7.75\",\n \"y\": \"12\",\n \"z\": \"2.75\",\n \"uom\": \"in\"\n },\n \"attributes\": {\n \"upc\": \"016000275287\",\n \"sku\": \"CHRC-120Z-001\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n### Pre-defined attributes\nPre-defined attributes are parameters set by the system to cater to common requirements across different organizations.\nThese attributes are standardized and offer functionalities that are frequently needed in the fulfillment process.\n\n| Attribute | Description |\n|---|---|\n| `main_image` | Stores article's main image URL, helping with quick identification and differentiation of articles, for example, during picking. Images can be in `.png`, `.jpg`, or `.gif` format.|\n\n## Available API methods\n\nThe table below contains the summary of available API methods for the Instock API client.\n\n| Resource | Available API methods |\n|------------|-----------------------|\n| Sites | `GET` - List all sites |\n| Articles | `POST` - Upload article(s)
