What a new order or quote of yours takes when it names nothing

GET /orders/defaults

What a new order or quote of yours takes when it names nothing: fulfillmentLocationId, the site it ships from — the site of the last order or quote you created while it can still sell, else the first fulfillable site by routing rank (absent only when no site can sell).

POST /orders with source.kind: "admin" and no fulfillmentLocationId takes the same site; a form shows it before anything is created. 502 InventoryUnavailable when the sites cannot be read. Appends nothing: a read.

Access

Requires orders:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. the admin's new-order form reads it to show its default site; an agent names fulfillmentLocationId on POST /orders or leaves routing to decide

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

Example

curl

curl -X GET 'https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io/orders/defaults' \

const response = await fetch("https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io/orders/defaults", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.MANIFOLD_TOKEN}` },

if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`${response.status}: ${await response.text()}`);
const answer = await response.json();

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: fulfillment-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`502`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`InventoryUnavailable` reason	The inventory service did not answer, so nothing changed.	Try again shortly.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Try again shortly.
