When you send a GET request to the
/ordersBulk endpoint, you specify the period of time that you
want to return orders.
To specify the time period, you use one of the following options:
-
Select the orders that were last modified during a specified time period.
To use this option, specify dates and times in the
startDateandendDatequery parameters.Order creation is considered an order modification. The request results include orders that were created during the specified time period.
-
Select the orders that were created during a single restaurant business day.
To use this option, set the
businessDatequery parameter.In the restaurants API, the restaurant's business day cutoff is determined by the
closeoutHourvalue in theGeneralobject within theRestaurantInfoobject.
Toast support recommends that you use the startDate and
endDate query parameters. These parameters select orders
based on the modification time stamp. The request
returns orders that were either created or modified during that time
period.
The businessDate query parameter selects orders based
on the creation date. The request only returns orders
that were created on that business day. It does not return orders that
were modified on that business day, but created on an earlier day.
