-    "description": "# Directo API Documentation\n\nWelcome to the Directo API - a comprehensive RESTful API for accessing and managing your ERP data including items, orders, customers, invoices, stock levels, and more.\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Active Directo ERP account\n    \n- API key (obtain from your Directo administrator)\n    \n- Basic understanding of REST APIs and HTTP methods\n    \n\n### Quick Start Guide\n\n1. **Configure Authentication**: Set your API key in the collection's Authorization tab or update the `X-Directo-Key` header\n    \n2. **Set Variables**: Configure `baseUrl` and `version` in collection variables\n    \n3. **Choose Format**: Set the `Accept` header to `application/json` or `application/xml`\n    \n4. **Make Your First Request**: Try the \"All items\" request to retrieve your item catalog\n    \n\n### Base URL & Versioning\n\n**Base URL Structure:**\n\n```\n{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/{resource}\n\n ```\n\n**Current Configuration:**\n\n- `baseUrl`: `https://login.directo.ee/apidirect`\n    \n- `version`: `1` (current API version)\n    \n\n**Example Full URL:**\n\n```\nhttps://login.directo.ee/apidirect/v1/items\n\n ```\n\nThe API uses versioning to ensure backward compatibility. Always specify the version number in your requests.\n\n---\n\n## 🔐 Authentication\n\nThe Directo API uses **API Key authentication** for secure access.\n\n### How to Authenticate\n\nInclude your API key in the request header:\n\n``` http\nX-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE\n\n ```\n\n### Getting Your API Key\n\nContact your Directo system administrator to obtain an API key. Each key is associated with specific permissions and access levels.\n\n### Security Best Practices\n\n- **Never expose your API key** in client-side code or public repositories\n    \n- Store API keys securely using environment variables\n    \n- Rotate keys periodically\n    \n- Use different keys for development and production environments\n    \n\n---\n\n## 📋 Response Formats (JSON vs XML)\n\nThe API supports both JSON and XML response formats. Control the format using the `Accept` header.\n\n### JSON Format (Recommended)\n\n``` http\nAccept: application/json\n\n ```\n\n**Example Request:**\n\n``` bash\ncurl -X GET \"{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\" \\\n  -H \"X-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Accept: application/json\"\n\n ```\n\n### XML Format\n\n``` http\nAccept: application/xml\n\n ```\n\n**Example Request:**\n\n``` bash\ncurl -X GET \"{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\" \\\n  -H \"X-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Accept: application/xml\"\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n## 🔍 Advanced Filtering (Key Feature)\n\n### 🎯 ERP-Style Filtering - The Power of Directo API\n\n**⭐ CRITICAL FEATURE: The Directo API supports the exact same powerful filtering capabilities as the Directo ERP system itself.**\n\nThis is one of the most powerful features of the Directo API. **Filters can be applied like default filters inside the ERP system. All fields can be used for filters except calculated fields.**\n\n#### What This Means for Developers\n\n1. **Seamless Integration**: Any filter that works in your Directo ERP interface can be applied via the API using query parameters\n    \n2. **No Learning Curve**: If you know how to filter in the ERP, you already know how to filter via the API\n    \n3. **Maximum Flexibility**: Filter by ANY field in the response data (except calculated fields)\n    \n4. **Powerful Queries**: Combine multiple filters to create complex queries without custom endpoints\n    \n\n#### Understanding Filterable vs Calculated Fields\n\n**✅ Filterable Fields (Stored in Database)**  \nThese are fields that are stored directly in the database and can be used for filtering:\n\n- **Item Fields**: `code`, `name`, `class`, `status`, `country`, `unit`, `price`, `cost`, `supplier_code`, `barcode`, `weight`, `volume`\n    \n- **Order/Invoice Fields**: `number`, `date`, `status`, `customer_code`, `customer_name`, `total`, `currency`, `payment_terms`, `delivery_date`, `warehouse`\n    \n- **Customer Fields**: `code`, `name`, `country`, `city`, `address`, `phone`, `email`, `vat_number`, `payment_terms`, `credit_limit`\n    \n- **Stock Fields**: `item_code`, `warehouse`, `quantity`, `reserved_quantity`, `available_quantity`, `location`, `batch_number`, `serial_number`\n    \n- **Line Item Fields**: `row_item`, `row_quantity`, `row_price`, `row_description`, `row_discount`, `row_warehouse`\n    \n- **Custom Data Fields**: Any custom fields you've defined in your ERP system (found in `datafields` array)\n    \n\n**❌ Calculated Fields (Cannot Be Filtered)**  \nThese are fields computed on-the-fly and cannot be used for filtering:\n\n- **Computed Totals**: Fields like `total_with_vat`, `line_total`, `discount_amount` (when calculated from other fields)\n    \n- **Derived Values**: `available_stock` (when calculated as `quantity - reserved`), `profit_margin` (calculated from price and cost)\n    \n- **Aggregations**: `total_orders`, `average_price`, `sum_quantity` (when aggregated from multiple records)\n    \n- **Formatted Values**: Display-only fields like `formatted_date`, `formatted_price` (when they're just formatting of other fields)\n    \n- **Virtual Fields**: Fields that exist only in the API response but not in the database\n    \n\n#### How to Identify Calculated Fields\n\n1. **Check the ERP Interface**: If you cannot filter by a field in the ERP system's filter dialog, it's likely calculated\n    \n2. **Test the Filter**: Try filtering by the field via API - if it returns no results or an error, it's calculated\n    \n3. **Look for Patterns**: Fields with names like `total_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*`, `calculated_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*`, `formatted_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*`, or `display_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*` are often calculated\n    \n4. **Consult Documentation**: Check your ERP system's field documentation or ask your administrator\n    \n\n#### Practical Examples: Filterable vs Calculated\n\n**Example 1: Item Stock**\n\n``` http\n✅ WORKS: GET /items?quantity=>100\n   (quantity is stored in database)\n❌ DOESN'T WORK: GET /items?available_stock=>100\n   (if available_stock = quantity - reserved, it's calculated)\n\n ```\n\n**Example 2: Order Totals**\n\n``` http\n✅ WORKS: GET /orders?row_price=>1000\n   (row_price is stored per line item)\n❌ MIGHT NOT WORK: GET /orders?order_total=>5000\n   (if order_total is sum of all line items, it's calculated)\n✅ ALTERNATIVE: GET /orders?date=>2025-01-01&status=COMPLETED\n   (then calculate totals in your application)\n\n ```\n\n**Example 3: Customer Data**\n\n``` http\n✅ WORKS: GET /customers?country=EE&city=Tallinn\n   (both are stored fields)\n❌ DOESN'T WORK: GET /customers?full_address=*Tallinn*\n   (if full_address is concatenation of address+city+country)\n✅ ALTERNATIVE: GET /customers?city=Tallinn\n   (filter by individual stored fields)\n\n ```\n\n### Basic Filtering\n\nFilter by exact match using any stored field name:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?code=9810\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?status=UUS\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?number=12345\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?country=EE\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?class=KAUP\n\n ```\n\n**Key Principle**: Use the exact field name as it appears in the API response (or as you see it in the ERP system).\n\n### Contains Filtering\n\nPartial filtering allows you to search for values **containing** a specific substring.\n\nThis works like SQL `LIKE '%text%'` logic.\n\nUse it when you need flexible filtering for names, codes, descriptions, or any other text fields\n\n```\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?name=%john%\n\n ```\n\n### Comparison Operators\n\nThe API supports powerful comparison operators for advanced filtering:\n\n#### Greater Than (`>`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-09-01T00:00:00\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?row_quantity=>5000\n\n ```\n\n#### Less Than (`<`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=<2025-09-03T00:00:00\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?row_quantity=<5000\n\n ```\n\n#### Not Equal (`!`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?country=!EE\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?status=!CLOSED\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?payment_terms=!COD\n\n ```\n\n#### Greater Than or Equal (`>=`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?price=>100\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-01-01T00:00:00\n\n ```\n\n#### Less Than or Equal (`<=`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?weight=<5.5\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=<2025-12-31T23:59:59\n\n ```\n\n### Range Filtering\n\nCombine operators to create ranges (AND logic):\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-09-01T00:00:00&date=<2025-09-03T00:00:00\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?quantity=>10&quantity=<100\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?total=>1000&total=<5000\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?price=>50&price=<=200\n\n ```\n\n### Multiple Values (OR Logic)\n\nUse comma-separated lists to filter by multiple values:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?warehouse=AALTR,AIPM,WAREHOUSE1\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?status=NEW,PENDING,PROCESSING\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?country=EE,LV,LT\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?class=KAUP,TEENUS,TOORAINE\n\n ```\n\n### Timestamp-Based Filtering (Synchronization)\n\nUse the `ts` parameter to retrieve records modified after a specific timestamp (ideal for synchronization):\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?ts=>2025-10-01T08:11:05.129Z\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?ts=>2025-01-01T00:00:00Z\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?ts=>2025-11-20T07:30:00Z\n\n ```\n\n**Best Practice**: Store the timestamp of your last successful sync and use it in the next request to fetch only changed records.\n\n### Filtering by Line Item Fields\n\nFor resources with line items (orders, invoices), you can filter by line-level fields:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?row_item=343443\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?row_quantity=>10\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?row_description=Maja\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/priceformulas?row_item=343443\n\n ```\n\n**Note**: When filtering by line item fields, the API returns the entire document (order/invoice) if ANY line matches the filter.\n\n### Filtering by Custom Data Fields\n\nIf you have custom fields defined in your ERP system (visible in the `datafields` array), you can filter by them:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?data_row_code=BRAND\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?data_row_code=ART_PROJ,BRAND\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?data_row_content=0\n\n ```\n\n**How to Find Custom Field Names**: Make a request without filters and examine the `datafields` array in the response.\n\n### Complex Filter Combinations\n\nCombine multiple filters to create sophisticated queries:\n\n**Get new orders from the last week for a specific customer:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?status=NEW&date=>2025-11-13T00:00:00&customer_code=CUST001\n\n ```\n\n**Get items with low stock in specific warehouses, excluding closed items:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?quantity=<10&warehouse=AALTR,AIPM&status=!CLOSED\n\n ```\n\n**Get all customers from Baltic countries with high credit limits:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?country=EE,LV,LT&credit_limit=>50000\n\n ```\n\n**Get invoices from Q1 2025 with specific payment terms:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?date=>2025-01-01T00:00:00&date=<2025-04-01T00:00:00&payment_terms=NET30\n\n ```\n\n**Get items from specific class with price range:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?class=KAUP&price=>10&price=<100\n\n ```\n\n### Common Filter Parameters by Resource\n\n| Parameter | Description | Example | Applicable Resources |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `ts` | Timestamp for modified records (ISO 8601) | `2025-10-01T08:11:05.129Z` | All resources |\n| `date` | Date filtering (supports operators) | `>2025-09-01T00:00:00` | Orders, Invoices |\n| `number` | Document number | `12345` or `!001` | Orders, Invoices |\n| `code` | Item/Customer code | `9810` or `CUST001` | Items, Customers |\n| `name` | Name search | `Kalev` | Items, Customers |\n| `row_item` | Item code in line items | `9810` or `PROD-ABC` | Orders, Invoices, Price Formulas |\n| `status` | Status filter | `UUS`, `CLOSED`, `NEW` | Orders, Items |\n| `country` | Country code (ISO 2-letter) | `EE`, `!EE` | Items, Customers |\n| `warehouse` | Warehouse/stock location code | `AALTR,AIPM` | Items, Stock Levels, Orders |\n| `quantity` | Quantity filter (supports operators) | `>100`, `<50` | Items, Stock Levels |\n| `row_quantity` | Line item quantity (supports operators) | `>10` | Invoices, Orders |\n| `row_description` | Line item description text | `Maja` | Invoices, Orders |\n| `closed` | Closed status | `1` (closed), `0` (open) | Customers, Orders |\n| `class` | Item class/category | `KAUP`, `TEENUS` | Items |\n| `price` | Price filter (supports operators) | `>100`, `<=500` | Items |\n| `customer_code` | Customer identifier | `CUST001` | Orders, Invoices |\n\n### Filter Best Practices\n\n1. **Start Simple**: Begin with single filters and add complexity as needed\n    \n2. **Use Timestamp Sync**: Always use `ts` parameter for incremental synchronization\n    \n3. **Combine Strategically**: Use multiple filters to reduce data transfer and processing\n    \n4. **Test in ERP First**: If unsure whether a field is filterable, test it in the ERP interface first\n    \n5. **Handle Empty Results**: Empty results might mean filters are too restrictive or field is calculated\n    \n6. **URL Encode**: Always URL-encode filter values, especially dates and special characters\n    \n7. **Document Your Filters**: Keep track of which filters work for your use cases\n    \n\n### Troubleshooting Filters\n\n**Problem**: Filter returns no results\n\n- **Check**: Is the field calculated? Try filtering by underlying stored fields\n    \n- **Check**: Is the value correct? Verify exact field values in an unfiltered response\n    \n- **Check**: Are operators correct? Use `>` not `>=` if that's what the ERP uses\n    \n\n**Problem**: Filter seems to be ignored\n\n- **Check**: Is the field name spelled correctly? Field names are case-sensitive\n    \n- **Check**: Is the value URL-encoded? Special characters must be encoded\n    \n- **Check**: Does the field exist in this resource? Not all fields are available in all resources\n    \n\n**Problem**: Unexpected results\n\n- **Check**: Are you using OR logic (comma) when you meant AND (multiple parameters)?\n    \n- **Check**: For line item filters, remember the entire document is returned if any line matches\n    \n\n---\n\n## 📦 API Resources & Endpoints\n\nAPI Resources and Endpint in this section are samples and dosn't refelct all available resources.

contact support if persistent\n    \n\n---\n\n## 🚦 Rate Limiting & Performance\n\n### Rate Limits\n\nWhile specific rate limits depend on your account tier, follow these guidelines:\n\n- **Recommended:** Max 60 requests per minute\n    \n- **Burst Limit:** Short bursts of higher traffic may be allowed\n    \n- **Daily Limits:** May apply based on your subscription\n    \n\n### Performance Best Practices\n\n#### 1\\. Use Timestamp Filtering for Sync\n\nInstead of fetching all records repeatedly, use the `ts` parameter:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?ts=>2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n\n ```\n\n**Benefits:**\n\n- Reduces data transfer\n    \n- Faster response times\n    \n- Lower server load\n    \n- Stays within rate limits\n    \n\n#### 2\\. Implement Pagination with Date Ranges\n\nFor large datasets, break requests into smaller chunks:\n\n``` http\n# Week 1\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-11-01&date=<2025-11-08\n# Week 2\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-11-08&date=<2025-11-15\n\n ```\n\n#### 3\\. Cache Static Data\n\nCache data that changes infrequently:\n\n- Item classes (cache for 24 hours)\n    \n- Price formulas (cache for 1 hour)\n    \n- Customer master data (cache for 6 hours)\n    \n\n#### 4\\. Use Specific Filters\n\nApply filters to retrieve only the data you need:\n\n``` http\n# Instead of fetching all items and filtering locally\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\n# Fetch only what you need\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?warehouse=AALTR&quantity=>0\n\n ```\n\n#### 5\\. Implement Exponential Backoff\n\nFor transient errors (429, 503), retry with increasing delays:\n\n```\n1st retry: wait 1 second\n2nd retry: wait 2 seconds\n3rd retry: wait 4 seconds\n4th retry: wait 8 seconds\n\n ```\n\n#### 6\\. Batch Related Requests\n\nGroup related operations to minimize round trips:\n\n```\n1. Fetch orders: GET /orders?ts=>{last_sync}\n2. For each order, fetch customer details (if needed)\n3. Update local database in batch\n\n ```\n\n#### 7\\. Monitor API Usage\n\nTrack your API consumption:\n\n- Log request counts per endpoint\n    \n- Monitor response times\n    \n- Track error rates\n    \n- Set up alerts for rate limit warnings\n    \n\n---\n\n## 🔄 Common Integration Patterns\n\n### Pattern 1: Initial Data Sync (First-Time Setup)\n\n**Objective**: Load all data from Directo ERP into your system\n\n```\nStep 1: Fetch all items\nGET /items\nStep 2: Fetch all customers\nGET /customers\nStep 3: Fetch all stock levels\nGET /stocklevels\nStep 4: Fetch item classes\nGET /itemclasses\nStep 5: Store current timestamp for future incremental syncs\ntimestamp = current_time()\n\n ```\n\n**Considerations:**\n\n- May take several minutes for large datasets\n    \n- Run during off-peak hours\n    \n- Implement progress tracking\n    \n- Handle timeouts gracefully\n    \n\n---\n\n### Pattern 2: Incremental Sync (Ongoing Synchronization)\n\n**Objective**: Keep your system up-to-date with changes in Directo ERP\n\n```\nStep 1: Retrieve last sync timestamp from your database\nlast_sync = get_last_sync_timestamp()\nStep 2: Fetch changed items\nGET /items?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 3: Fetch changed customers\nGET /customers?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 4: Fetch changed stock levels\nGET /stocklevels?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 5: Fetch deleted records\nGET /deleted?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 6: Process changes in your system\n- Update existing records\n- Insert new records\n- Delete removed records\nStep 7: Update last sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n**Frequency Recommendations:**\n\n- Critical data (stock levels, orders): Every 5-15 minutes\n    \n- Master data (items, customers): Every 1-6 hours\n    \n- Static data (item classes): Daily\n    \n\n---\n\n### Pattern 3: Real-Time Order Monitoring\n\n**Objective**: Monitor new orders for immediate processing\n\n```\nStep 1: Poll orders endpoint at regular intervals\nGET /orders?status=NEW&ts=>{last_check}\nStep 2: Process new orders\nfor each order:\n    -

Map Directo fields to accounting system fields\n    - Create invoice in accounting system\n    - Create invoice lines\n    - Mark as exported in your database\nStep 3: Handle errors\nfor each failed_invoice:\n    - Log error details\n    - Queue for manual review\n    - Send notification to accounting team\nStep 4: Update sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Pattern 7: Price Synchronization to E-Commerce\n\n**Objective**: Keep product prices updated in your online store\n\n```\nStep 1: Fetch changed items with pricing\nGET /items?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 2: Fetch price formulas (if using dynamic pricing)\nGET /priceformulas?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 3: Calculate final prices\nfor each item:\n    base_price = item.price\n    if price_formula exists:\n        final_price = apply_formula(base_price, formula)\n    else:\n        final_price = base_price\nStep 4: Update e-commerce platform\nfor each item:\n    update_product_price(item.code, final_price)\nStep 5: Update sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide\n\n### Issue: Empty Response / No Results\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1.

Field names (for filtering)\n# - Data types\n# - Custom fields (in datafields array)\n\n ```\n\n### Tip 2: Test Filters in ERP First\n\nBefore implementing filters in your code, test them in the Directo ERP interface. If a filter works in the ERP, it will work in the API.\n\n### Tip 3: Use Postman Variables\n\nSet up collection variables for easy environment switching:\n\n- `baseUrl`: `https://login.directo.ee/apidirect`\n    \n- `version`: `1`\n    \n- `apiKey`: `YOUR_API_KEY`\n    \n\n### Tip 4: Build Filter Strings Programmatically\n\n``` python\n# Python example\ndef build_filter_url(base_url, filters):\n    params = \"&\".join([f\"{k}={v}\" for k, v in filters.items()])\n    return f\"{base_url}?{params}\"\nfilters = {\n    \"warehouse\": \"AALTR\",\n    \"quantity\": \">0\",\n    \"status\": \"ACTIVE\"\n}\nurl = build_filter_url(\"{{baseUrl}}/v1/items\", filters)\n# Result: {{baseUrl}}/v1/items?warehouse=AALTR&quantity=>0&status=ACTIVE\n\n ```\n\n### Tip 5: Handle Timestamps Consistently\n\n``` python\n# Always use ISO 8601 format with timezone\nfrom datetime import datetime, timezone\n# Get current timestamp\nnow = datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()\n# Result: 2025-11-20T07:30:00+00:00\n# Or use Z notation\nnow = datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime(\"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ\")\n# Result: 2025-11-20T07:30:00Z\n\n ```\n\n### Tip 6: Implement Robust Error Handling\n\n``` python\n# Python example with comprehensive error handling\nimport requests\nimport time\ndef fetch_directo_data(endpoint, params=None, max_retries=3):\n    url = f\"{{{{baseUrl}}}}/v{{{{version}}}}/{endpoint}\"\n    headers = {\n        \"X-Directo-Key\": \"YOUR_API_KEY\",\n        \"Accept\": \"application/json\"\n    }\n    for attempt in range(max_retries):\n        try:\n            response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params, timeout=30)\n            if response.status_code == 200:\n                return response.json()\n            elif response.status_code == 429:\n                # Rate limit - wait and retry\n                wait_time = 2 ** attempt\n                time.sleep(wait_time)\n            elif response.status_code in [401, 403]:\n                # Auth error - don't retry\n                raise Exception(f\"Authentication error: {response.status_code}\")\n            else:\n                # Other error - log and retry\n                print(f\"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}\")\n                time.sleep(1)\n        except requests.exceptions.Timeout:\n            print(f\"Timeout on attempt {attempt + 1}\")\n            time.sleep(2)\n        except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:\n            print(f\"Request failed: {e}\")\n            time.sleep(2)\n    raise Exception(f\"Failed after {max_retries} attempts\")\n# Usage\nitems = fetch_directo_data(\"items\", params={\"warehouse\": \"AALTR\", \"quantity\": \">0\"})\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n**Last Updated:** 29-01-2026  \n**API Version:** 1  \n**Documentation Version:** 3.0 (Enterprise Edition)\n\n---\n\n## 📚 Quick Reference Card\n\n### Essential Endpoints\n\n```\nItems:        GET /v1/items\nCustomers:    GET /v1/customers\nOrders:       GET /v1/orders\nInvoices:     GET /v1/invoices\nStock:        GET /v1/stocklevels\nDeletions:    GET /v1/deleted\n\n ```\n\n### Authentication\n\n``` http\nX-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\n\n ```\n\n### Response Format\n\n``` http\nAccept: application/json  (or application/xml)\n\n ```\n\n### Common Filters\n\n```\nExact match:      ?field=value\nGreater than:     ?field=>value\nLess than:        ?field=Not equal:        ?field=!value\nMultiple values:  ?field=value1,value2\nTimestamp:        ?ts=2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n\n ```\n\n### Filter Examples\n\n``` http\n?warehouse=AALTR\n?quantity=>100\n?date=>2025-11-01T00:00:00&date=<2025-12-01T00:00:00\n?status=NEW,PENDING\n?country=!EE\n?ts=2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n\n ```\n\n### Remember\n\n✅ All fields can be filtered (except calculated fields)  \n✅ Filters mirror ERP system behavior  \n✅ Use timestamp filtering for sync  \n✅ URL encode special characters  \n✅ Implement rate limiting (60 req/min)  \n✅ Handle errors with exponential backoff\n\n---\n\n_This documentation is maintained by the Directo development team.

+    "description": "# Directo API Documentation\n\nWelcome to the Directo API - a comprehensive RESTful API for accessing and managing your ERP data including items, orders, customers, invoices, stock levels, and more.\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Active Directo ERP account\n    \n- API key (obtain from your Directo administrator)\n    \n- Basic understanding of REST APIs and HTTP methods\n    \n\n### Quick Start Guide\n\n1. **Configure Authentication**: Set your API key in the collection's Authorization tab or update the `X-Directo-Key` header\n    \n2. **Set Variables**: Configure `baseUrl` and `version` in collection variables\n    \n3. **Choose Format**: Set the `Accept` header to `application/json` or `application/xml`\n    \n4. **Make Your First Request**: Try the \"All items\" request to retrieve your item catalog\n    \n\n### Base URL & Versioning\n\n**Base URL Structure:**\n\n```\n{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/{resource}\n\n ```\n\n**Current Configuration:**\n\n- `baseUrl`: `https://login.directo.ee/apidirect`\n    \n- `version`: `1` (current API version)\n    \n\n**Example Full URL:**\n\n```\nhttps://login.directo.ee/apidirect/v1/items\n\n ```\n\nThe API uses versioning to ensure backward compatibility. Always specify the version number in your requests.\n\n---\n\n## 🔐 Authentication\n\nThe Directo API uses **API Key authentication** for secure access.\n\n### How to Authenticate\n\nInclude your API key in the request header:\n\n``` http\nX-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE\n\n ```\n\n### Getting Your API Key\n\nIf your company doesn't have an API key yet, contact your Directo project manager — they will generate it.\nIf a key has already been created, there's no need to request it again: any user with SUPER rights can view it on the employee card under Settings → Integration. Each key is associated with specific permissions and access levels.\n\n### Security Best Practices\n\n- **Never expose your API key** in client-side code or public repositories\n    \n- Store API keys securely using environment variables\n    \n- Rotate keys periodically\n    \n- Use different keys for development and production environments\n    \n\n---\n\n## 📋 Response Formats (JSON vs XML)\n\nThe API supports both JSON and XML response formats. Control the format using the `Accept` header.\n\n### JSON Format (Recommended)\n\n``` http\nAccept: application/json\n\n ```\n\n**Example Request:**\n\n``` bash\ncurl -X GET \"{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\" \\\n  -H \"X-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Accept: application/json\"\n\n ```\n\n### XML Format\n\n``` http\nAccept: application/xml\n\n ```\n\n**Example Request:**\n\n``` bash\ncurl -X GET \"{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\" \\\n  -H \"X-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Accept: application/xml\"\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n## 🔍 Advanced Filtering (Key Feature)\n\n### 🎯 ERP-Style Filtering - The Power of Directo API\n\n**⭐ CRITICAL FEATURE: The Directo API supports the exact same powerful filtering capabilities as the Directo ERP system itself.**\n\nThis is one of the most powerful features of the Directo API. **Filters can be applied like default filters inside the ERP system. All fields can be used for filters except calculated fields.**\n\n#### What This Means for Developers\n\n1. **Seamless Integration**: Any filter that works in your Directo ERP interface can be applied via the API using query parameters\n    \n2. **No Learning Curve**: If you know how to filter in the ERP, you already know how to filter via the API\n    \n3. **Maximum Flexibility**: Filter by ANY field in the response data (except calculated fields)\n    \n4. **Powerful Queries**: Combine multiple filters to create complex queries without custom endpoints\n    \n\n#### Understanding Filterable vs Calculated Fields\n\n**✅ Filterable Fields (Stored in Database)**  \nThese are fields that are stored directly in the database and can be used for filtering:\n\n- **Item Fields**: `code`, `name`, `class`, `status`, `country`, `unit`, `price`, `cost`, `supplier_code`, `barcode`, `weight`, `volume`\n    \n- **Order/Invoice Fields**: `number`, `date`, `status`, `customer_code`, `customer_name`, `total`, `currency`, `payment_terms`, `delivery_date`, `warehouse`\n    \n- **Customer Fields**: `code`, `name`, `country`, `city`, `address`, `phone`, `email`, `vat_number`, `payment_terms`, `credit_limit`\n    \n- **Stock Fields**: `item_code`, `warehouse`, `quantity`, `reserved_quantity`, `available_quantity`, `location`, `batch_number`, `serial_number`\n    \n- **Line Item Fields**: `row_item`, `row_quantity`, `row_price`, `row_description`, `row_discount`, `row_warehouse`\n    \n- **Custom Data Fields**: Any custom fields you've defined in your ERP system (found in `datafields` array)\n    \n\n**❌ Calculated Fields (Cannot Be Filtered)**  \nThese are fields computed on-the-fly and cannot be used for filtering:\n\n- **Computed Totals**: Fields like `total_with_vat`, `line_total`, `discount_amount` (when calculated from other fields)\n    \n- **Derived Values**: `available_stock` (when calculated as `quantity - reserved`), `profit_margin` (calculated from price and cost)\n    \n- **Aggregations**: `total_orders`, `average_price`, `sum_quantity` (when aggregated from multiple records)\n    \n- **Formatted Values**: Display-only fields like `formatted_date`, `formatted_price` (when they're just formatting of other fields)\n    \n- **Virtual Fields**: Fields that exist only in the API response but not in the database\n    \n\n#### How to Identify Calculated Fields\n\n1. **Check the ERP Interface**: If you cannot filter by a field in the ERP system's filter dialog, it's likely calculated\n    \n2. **Test the Filter**: Try filtering by the field via API - if it returns no results or an error, it's calculated\n    \n3. **Look for Patterns**: Fields with names like `total_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*`, `calculated_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*`, `formatted_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*`, or `display_\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*` are often calculated\n    \n4. **Consult Documentation**: Check your ERP system's field documentation or ask your administrator\n    \n\n#### Practical Examples: Filterable vs Calculated\n\n**Example 1: Item Stock**\n\n``` http\n✅ WORKS: GET /items?quantity=>100\n   (quantity is stored in database)\n❌ DOESN'T WORK: GET /items?available_stock=>100\n   (if available_stock = quantity - reserved, it's calculated)\n\n ```\n\n**Example 2: Order Totals**\n\n``` http\n✅ WORKS: GET /orders?row_price=>1000\n   (row_price is stored per line item)\n❌ MIGHT NOT WORK: GET /orders?order_total=>5000\n   (if order_total is sum of all line items, it's calculated)\n✅ ALTERNATIVE: GET /orders?date=>2025-01-01&status=COMPLETED\n   (then calculate totals in your application)\n\n ```\n\n**Example 3: Customer Data**\n\n``` http\n✅ WORKS: GET /customers?country=EE&city=Tallinn\n   (both are stored fields)\n❌ DOESN'T WORK: GET /customers?full_address=*Tallinn*\n   (if full_address is concatenation of address+city+country)\n✅ ALTERNATIVE: GET /customers?city=Tallinn\n   (filter by individual stored fields)\n\n ```\n\n### Basic Filtering\n\nFilter by exact match using any stored field name:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?code=9810\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?status=UUS\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?number=12345\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?country=EE\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?class=KAUP\n\n ```\n\n**Key Principle**: Use the exact field name as it appears in the API response (or as you see it in the ERP system).\n\n### Contains Filtering\n\nPartial filtering allows you to search for values **containing** a specific substring.\n\nThis works like SQL `LIKE '%text%'` logic.\n\nUse it when you need flexible filtering for names, codes, descriptions, or any other text fields\n\n```\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?name=%john%\n\n ```\n\n### Comparison Operators\n\nThe API supports powerful comparison operators for advanced filtering:\n\n#### Greater Than (`>`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-09-01T00:00:00\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?row_quantity=>5000\n\n ```\n\n#### Less Than (`<`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=<2025-09-03T00:00:00\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?row_quantity=<5000\n\n ```\n\n#### Not Equal (`!`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?country=!EE\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?status=!CLOSED\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?payment_terms=!COD\n\n ```\n\n#### Greater Than or Equal (`>=`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?price=>100\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-01-01T00:00:00\n\n ```\n\n#### Less Than or Equal (`<=`)\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?weight=<5.5\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=<2025-12-31T23:59:59\n\n ```\n\n### Range Filtering\n\nCombine operators to create ranges (AND logic):\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-09-01T00:00:00&date=<2025-09-03T00:00:00\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?quantity=>10&quantity=<100\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?total=>1000&total=<5000\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?price=>50&price=<=200\n\n ```\n\n### Multiple Values (OR Logic)\n\nUse comma-separated lists to filter by multiple values:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?warehouse=AALTR,AIPM,WAREHOUSE1\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?status=NEW,PENDING,PROCESSING\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?country=EE,LV,LT\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?class=KAUP,TEENUS,TOORAINE\n\n ```\n\n### Timestamp-Based Filtering (Synchronization)\n\nUse the `ts` parameter to retrieve records modified after a specific timestamp (ideal for synchronization):\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?ts=>2025-10-01T08:11:05.129Z\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?ts=>2025-01-01T00:00:00Z\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?ts=>2025-11-20T07:30:00Z\n\n ```\n\n**Best Practice**: Store the timestamp of your last successful sync and use it in the next request to fetch only changed records.\n\n### Filtering by Line Item Fields\n\nFor resources with line items (orders, invoices), you can filter by line-level fields:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?row_item=343443\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?row_quantity=>10\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?row_description=Maja\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/priceformulas?row_item=343443\n\n ```\n\n**Note**: When filtering by line item fields, the API returns the entire document (order/invoice) if ANY line matches the filter.\n\n### Filtering by Custom Data Fields\n\nIf you have custom fields defined in your ERP system (visible in the `datafields` array), you can filter by them:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?data_row_code=BRAND\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?data_row_code=ART_PROJ,BRAND\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?data_row_content=0\n\n ```\n\n**How to Find Custom Field Names**: Make a request without filters and examine the `datafields` array in the response.\n\n### Complex Filter Combinations\n\nCombine multiple filters to create sophisticated queries:\n\n**Get new orders from the last week for a specific customer:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?status=NEW&date=>2025-11-13T00:00:00&customer_code=CUST001\n\n ```\n\n**Get items with low stock in specific warehouses, excluding closed items:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?quantity=<10&warehouse=AALTR,AIPM&status=!CLOSED\n\n ```\n\n**Get all customers from Baltic countries with high credit limits:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/customers?country=EE,LV,LT&credit_limit=>50000\n\n ```\n\n**Get invoices from Q1 2025 with specific payment terms:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/invoices?date=>2025-01-01T00:00:00&date=<2025-04-01T00:00:00&payment_terms=NET30\n\n ```\n\n**Get items from specific class with price range:**\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?class=KAUP&price=>10&price=<100\n\n ```\n\n### Common Filter Parameters by Resource\n\n| Parameter | Description | Example | Applicable

Begin with single filters and add complexity as needed\n    \n2. **Use Timestamp Sync**: Always use `ts` parameter for incremental synchronization\n    \n3. **Combine Strategically**: Use multiple filters to reduce data transfer and processing\n    \n4. **Test in ERP First**: If unsure whether a field is filterable, test it in the ERP interface first\n    \n5. **Handle Empty Results**: Empty results might mean filters are too restrictive or field is calculated\n    \n6. **URL Encode**: Always URL-encode filter values, especially dates and special characters\n    \n7. **Document Your Filters**: Keep track of which filters work for your use cases\n    \n\n### Troubleshooting Filters\n\n**Problem**: Filter returns no results\n\n- **Check**: Is the field calculated? Try filtering by underlying stored fields\n    \n- **Check**: Is the value correct? Verify exact field values in an unfiltered response\n    \n- **Check**: Are operators correct? Use `>` not `>=` if that's what the ERP uses\n    \n\n**Problem**: Filter seems to be ignored\n\n- **Check**: Is the field name spelled correctly? Field names are case-sensitive\n    \n- **Check**: Is the value URL-encoded? Special characters must be encoded\n    \n- **Check**: Does the field exist in this resource? Not all fields are available in all resources\n    \n\n**Problem**: Unexpected results\n\n- **Check**: Are you using OR logic (comma) when you meant AND (multiple parameters)?\n    \n- **Check**: For line item filters, remember the entire document is returned if any line matches\n    \n\n---\n\n## 📦 API Resources & Endpoints\n\nAPI Resources and Endpint in this section are samples and dosn't refelct all available resources.

Use Timestamp Filtering for Sync\n\nInstead of fetching all records repeatedly, use the `ts` parameter:\n\n``` http\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?ts=>2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n\n ```\n\n**Benefits:**\n\n- Reduces data transfer\n    \n- Faster response times\n    \n- Lower server load\n    \n- Stays within rate limits\n    \n\n#### 2\\. Implement Pagination with Date Ranges\n\nFor large datasets, break requests into smaller chunks:\n\n``` http\n# Week 1\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-11-01&date=<2025-11-08\n# Week 2\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/orders?date=>2025-11-08&date=<2025-11-15\n\n ```\n\n#### 3\\. Cache Static Data\n\nCache data that changes infrequently:\n\n- Item classes (cache for 24 hours)\n    \n- Price formulas (cache for 1 hour)\n    \n- Customer master data (cache for 6 hours)\n    \n\n#### 4\\. Use Specific Filters\n\nApply filters to retrieve only the data you need:\n\n``` http\n# Instead of fetching all items and filtering locally\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\n# Fetch only what you need\nGET {{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items?warehouse=AALTR&quantity=>0\n\n ```\n\n#### 5\\. Implement Exponential Backoff\n\nFor transient errors (429, 503), retry with increasing delays:\n\n```\n1st retry: wait 1 second\n2nd retry: wait 2 seconds\n3rd retry: wait 4 seconds\n4th retry: wait 8 seconds\n\n ```\n\n#### 6\\. Batch Related Requests\n\nGroup related operations to minimize round trips:\n\n```\n1. Fetch orders: GET /orders?ts=>{last_sync}\n2. For each order, fetch customer details (if needed)\n3. Update local database in batch\n\n ```\n\n#### 7\\. Monitor API Usage\n\nTrack your API consumption:\n\n- Log request counts per endpoint\n    \n- Monitor response times\n    \n- Track error rates\n    \n- Set up alerts for rate limit warnings\n    \n\n---\n\n## 🔄 Common Integration Patterns\n\n### Pattern 1: Initial Data Sync (First-Time Setup)\n\n**Objective**: Load all data from Directo ERP into your system\n\n```\nStep 1: Fetch all items\nGET /items\nStep 2: Fetch all customers\nGET /customers\nStep 3: Fetch all stock levels\nGET /stocklevels\nStep 4: Fetch item classes\nGET /itemclasses\nStep 5: Store current timestamp for future incremental syncs\ntimestamp = current_time()\n\n ```\n\n**Considerations:**\n\n- May take several minutes for large datasets\n    \n- Run during off-peak hours\n    \n- Implement progress tracking\n    \n- Handle timeouts gracefully\n    \n\n---\n\n### Pattern 2: Incremental Sync (Ongoing Synchronization)\n\n**Objective**: Keep your system up-to-date with changes in Directo ERP\n\n```\nStep 1: Retrieve last sync timestamp from your database\nlast_sync = get_last_sync_timestamp()\nStep 2: Fetch changed items\nGET /items?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 3: Fetch changed customers\nGET /customers?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 4: Fetch changed stock levels\nGET /stocklevels?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 5: Fetch deleted records\nGET /deleted?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 6: Process changes in your system\n- Update existing records\n- Insert new records\n- Delete removed records\nStep 7: Update last sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n**Frequency Recommendations:**\n\n- Critical data (stock levels, orders): Every 5-15 minutes\n    \n- Master data (items, customers): Every 1-6 hours\n    \n- Static data (item classes): Daily\n    \n\n---\n\n### Pattern 3: Real-Time Order Monitoring\n\n**Objective**: Monitor new orders for immediate processing\n\n```\nStep 1: Poll orders endpoint at regular intervals\nGET /orders?status=NEW&ts=>{last_check}\nStep 2: Process new orders\nfor each order:\n    -

allocated_quantity\nStep 4: Update your inventory system\nupdate_inventory(sku, available)\nStep 5: Check for low stock alerts\nif available < reorder_point:\n    trigger_reorder_alert(sku)\n\n ```\n\n**Use Cases:**\n\n- E-commerce available-to-promise\n    \n- Warehouse management systems\n    \n- Reorder point monitoring\n    \n- Multi-channel inventory sync\n    \n\n---\n\n### Pattern 5: Customer Data Synchronization (CRM Integration)\n\n**Objective**: Keep customer data synchronized between Directo and your CRM\n\n```\nStep 1: Fetch changed customers\nGET /customers?ts={last_sync}\nStep 2: For each customer, sync to CRM\nfor each customer:\n    if customer exists in CRM:\n        update_crm_customer(customer)\n    else:\n        create_crm_customer(customer)\nStep 3: Fetch deleted customers\nGET /deleted?resource_type=customers&ts={last_sync}\nStep 4: Remove deleted customers from CRM\nfor each deleted_customer:\n    delete_crm_customer(deleted_customer.id)\nStep 5: Update sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Pattern 6: Invoice Export to Accounting System\n\n**Objective**: Export invoices to external accounting software\n\n```\nStep 1: Fetch new/updated invoices\nGET /invoices?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 2: For each invoice, export to accounting system\nfor each invoice:\n    - Map Directo fields to accounting system fields\n    - Create invoice in accounting system\n    - Create invoice lines\n    - Mark as exported in your database\nStep 3: Handle errors\nfor each failed_invoice:\n    - Log error details\n    - Queue for manual review\n    - Send notification to accounting team\nStep 4: Update sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Pattern 7: Price Synchronization to E-Commerce\n\n**Objective**: Keep product prices updated in your online store\n\n```\nStep 1: Fetch changed items with pricing\nGET /items?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 2: Fetch price formulas (if using dynamic pricing)\nGET /priceformulas?ts=>{last_sync}\nStep 3: Calculate final prices\nfor each item:\n    base_price = item.price\n    if price_formula exists:\n        final_price = apply_formula(base_price, formula)\n    else:\n        final_price = base_price\nStep 4: Update e-commerce platform\nfor each item:\n    update_product_price(item.code, final_price)\nStep 5: Update sync timestamp\nsave_last_sync_timestamp(current_time())\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide\n\n### Issue: Empty Response / No Results\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1. Filters too restrictive\n    \n2. No data matches criteria\n    \n3. Incorrect date format\n    \n4. Filtering by calculated field\n    \n5. Default filter set in ERP is too restrictive\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` http\n# Remove filters one by one to identify the issue\nGET /items                                    # No filters\nGET /items?warehouse=AALTR                    # Add one filter\nGET /items?warehouse=AALTR&quantity=>0        # Add another filter\n# Verify date format (must be ISO 8601)\n❌ WRONG: ?date=2025-11-20\n✅ CORRECT: ?date=>2025-11-20T00:00:00Z\n# Check if field is calculated\n# Try filtering by underlying stored fields instead\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: Authentication Errors (401/403)\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1. Missing API key\n    \n2. Incorrect header name\n    \n3. Expired key\n    \n4. Insufficient permissions\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` http\n# Verify header name (case-sensitive)\n❌ WRONG: X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY\n❌ WRONG: X-Directo-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY\n✅ CORRECT: X-Directo-Key: YOUR_KEY\n# Check key validity\n# Contact administrator to verify:\n# - Key is active\n# - Key has permissions for the resource\n# - Key hasn't expired\n# Test with curl\ncurl -X GET \"{{baseUrl}}/v{{version}}/items\" \\\n  -H \"X-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\" \\\n  -H \"Accept: application/json\" \\\n  -v\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: Unexpected Data Format\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1. Wrong `Accept` header\n    \n2. API version mismatch\n    \n3. Expecting different structure\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` http\n# Verify Accept header\nFor JSON: Accept: application/json\nFor XML: Accept: application/xml\n# Check API version in URL\n{{baseUrl}}/v1/items  (not v2 or v0)\n# Examine actual response structure\n# Make a simple request and inspect the response\nGET /items?code=1011\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: Filter Not Working as Expected\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1.

Fetching too much data\n    \n2. No filters applied\n    \n3. Complex queries\n    \n4. Server load\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` http\n# Use filters to reduce data volume\n❌ SLOW: GET /items\n✅ FASTER: GET /items?warehouse=AALTR&closed=0\n# Use timestamp filtering for incremental sync\n✅ FASTER: GET /items?ts=2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n# Break large requests into smaller chunks\n# Instead of fetching all orders:\nGET /orders?date=>2025-11-01&date=<2025-11-08\nGET /orders?date=>2025-11-08&date=<2025-11-15\n# Implement caching for static data\n# Cache item classes, price formulas for 1-24 hours\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: Rate Limit Errors (429)\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1. Too many requests in short time\n    \n2. No rate limiting in your code\n    \n3. Multiple processes hitting API\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` python\n# Implement exponential backoff\nimport time\ndef make_request_with_retry(url, max_retries=5):\n    for attempt in range(max_retries):\n        response = requests.get(url)\n        if response.status_code == 200:\n            return response\n        elif response.status_code == 429:\n            wait_time = 2 ** attempt  # 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 seconds\n            time.sleep(wait_time)\n        else:\n            raise Exception(f\"Error: {response.status_code}\")\n    raise Exception(\"Max retries exceeded\")\n# Add delays between requests\ntime.sleep(1)  # Wait 1 second between requests\n# Use timestamp filtering to reduce request frequency\n# Instead of polling every minute, poll every 5-15 minutes\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: Data Inconsistency\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1. Not handling deletions\n    \n2. Missing incremental updates\n    \n3. Race conditions\n    \n4. Not using timestamps correctly\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` http\n# Always check for deletions\nGET /deleted?ts=>{last_sync}\n# Use consistent timestamp handling\nlast_sync = \"2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\"\nGET /items?ts=>{last_sync}\nGET /customers?ts=>{last_sync}\nGET /deleted?ts=>{last_sync}\n# Store timestamp AFTER successful processing\n# Not before, to avoid missing updates if processing fails\n# Implement idempotency\n# Use unique IDs to prevent duplicate processing\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: Missing Custom Fields\n\n**Possible Causes:**\n\n1. Custom fields not configured in ERP\n    \n2. Looking in wrong place in response\n    \n3. Permissions issue\n    \n\n**Solutions:**\n\n``` http\n# Custom fields are in datafields array\nGET /items?code=1011\n# Response structure:\n{\n    \"code\": \"1011\",\n    \"name\": \"Item Name\",\n    \"datafields\": [\n        {\n            \"code\": \"CUSTOM_FIELD_1\",\n            \"content\": \"Value\"\n        }\n    ]\n}\n# Filter by custom fields\nGET /items?CUSTOM_FIELD_1=Value\n# Verify custom fields exist in ERP\n# Contact administrator to confirm field names\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n### Issue: `usagelogs` missing older entries\n\n**Possible Cause:** Log retention is capped by Administrator settings  \n(\"Log age in days\" / \"Log age in transactions\" — see  \n[Administraatori seadistused](https://wiki.directo.ee/et/administrator_settings)),  \nnot by the API itself.\n\n**Solution:** Ask your administrator to check/raise these two settings, or  \nstart pulling and archiving `/usagelogs` regularly to keep your own history.\n\n---\n\n## 📞 Support & Resources\n\n### Need Help?\n\n**Technical Support:**\n\n- Email: [info@directo.ee](https://mailto:info@directo.ee)\n    \n- Contact your Directo account manager\n    \n- Submit support ticket through your in Directo Chat\n    \n\n**API Issues:**\n\n- Report bugs via your support channel\n    \n- Include: request URL, headers, response, error message\n    \n- Provide timestamp of the issue\n    \n\n**Feature Requests:**\n\n- Submit through your account manager\n    \n- Describe use case and business value\n    \n- Include examples of desired functionality\n    \n\n### Additional Resources\n\n- **Directo ERP Documentation**: Comprehensive guide to ERP features\n    \n- **API Changelog**: Check for updates and new features\n    \n- **Integration Examples**: Sample code in this collection\n    \n- **Community Forum**: Share experiences with other developers (if available)\n    \n\n### Best Practices for Support Requests\n\nWhen contacting support, include:\n\n1. **Request Details:**\n    \n    ```\n                                    Method: GET\n                                    URL: {{baseUrl}}/v1/items?warehouse=AALTR\n                                    Headers:\n                                      X-Directo-Key: [REDACTED]\n                                      Accept: application/json\n    \n     ```\n    \n2. **Response Details:**\n    \n    ```\n                                    Status Code: 400\n                                    Response Body: {\"error\": \"Invalid filter\"}\n    \n     ```\n    \n3. **Expected Behavior:**\n    \n    ```\n                                    Expected to receive items from AALTR warehouse\n    \n     ```\n    \n4. **Actual Behavior:**\n    \n    ```\n                                    Received 400 error with \"Invalid filter\" message\n    \n     ```\n    \n5. **Troubleshooting Steps Taken:**\n    \n    ```\n                                    -

Field names (for filtering)\n# - Data types\n# - Custom fields (in datafields array)\n\n ```\n\n### Tip 2: Test Filters in ERP First\n\nBefore implementing filters in your code, test them in the Directo ERP interface. If a filter works in the ERP, it will work in the API.\n\n### Tip 3: Use Postman Variables\n\nSet up collection variables for easy environment switching:\n\n- `baseUrl`: `https://login.directo.ee/apidirect`\n    \n- `version`: `1`\n    \n- `apiKey`: `YOUR_API_KEY`\n    \n\n### Tip 4: Build Filter Strings Programmatically\n\n``` python\n# Python example\ndef build_filter_url(base_url, filters):\n    params = \"&\".join([f\"{k}={v}\" for k, v in filters.items()])\n    return f\"{base_url}?{params}\"\nfilters = {\n    \"warehouse\": \"AALTR\",\n    \"quantity\": \">0\",\n    \"status\": \"ACTIVE\"\n}\nurl = build_filter_url(\"{{baseUrl}}/v1/items\", filters)\n# Result: {{baseUrl}}/v1/items?warehouse=AALTR&quantity=>0&status=ACTIVE\n\n ```\n\n### Tip 5: Handle Timestamps Consistently\n\n``` python\n# Always use ISO 8601 format with timezone\nfrom datetime import datetime, timezone\n# Get current timestamp\nnow = datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()\n# Result: 2025-11-20T07:30:00+00:00\n# Or use Z notation\nnow = datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime(\"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ\")\n# Result: 2025-11-20T07:30:00Z\n\n ```\n\n### Tip 6: Implement Robust Error Handling\n\n``` python\n# Python example with comprehensive error handling\nimport requests\nimport time\ndef fetch_directo_data(endpoint, params=None, max_retries=3):\n    url = f\"{{{{baseUrl}}}}/v{{{{version}}}}/{endpoint}\"\n    headers = {\n        \"X-Directo-Key\": \"YOUR_API_KEY\",\n        \"Accept\": \"application/json\"\n    }\n    for attempt in range(max_retries):\n        try:\n            response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params, timeout=30)\n            if response.status_code == 200:\n                return response.json()\n            elif response.status_code == 429:\n                # Rate limit - wait and retry\n                wait_time = 2 ** attempt\n                time.sleep(wait_time)\n            elif response.status_code in [401, 403]:\n                # Auth error - don't retry\n                raise Exception(f\"Authentication error: {response.status_code}\")\n            else:\n                # Other error - log and retry\n                print(f\"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}\")\n                time.sleep(1)\n        except requests.exceptions.Timeout:\n            print(f\"Timeout on attempt {attempt + 1}\")\n            time.sleep(2)\n        except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:\n            print(f\"Request failed: {e}\")\n            time.sleep(2)\n    raise Exception(f\"Failed after {max_retries} attempts\")\n# Usage\nitems = fetch_directo_data(\"items\", params={\"warehouse\": \"AALTR\", \"quantity\": \">0\"})\n\n ```\n\n---\n\n**Last Updated:** 29-01-2026  \n**API Version:** 1  \n**Documentation Version:** 3.0 (Enterprise Edition)\n\n---\n\n## 📚 Quick Reference Card\n\n### Essential Endpoints\n\n```\nItems:        GET /v1/items\nCustomers:    GET /v1/customers\nOrders:       GET /v1/orders\nInvoices:     GET /v1/invoices\nStock:        GET /v1/stocklevels\nDeletions:    GET /v1/deleted\n\n ```\n\n### Authentication\n\n``` http\nX-Directo-Key: YOUR_API_KEY\n\n ```\n\n### Response Format\n\n``` http\nAccept: application/json  (or application/xml)\n\n ```\n\n### Common Filters\n\n```\nExact match:      ?field=value\nGreater than:     ?field=>value\nLess than:        ?field=Not equal:        ?field=!value\nMultiple values:  ?field=value1,value2\nTimestamp:        ?ts=2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n\n ```\n\n### Filter Examples\n\n``` http\n?warehouse=AALTR\n?quantity=>100\n?date=>2025-11-01T00:00:00&date=<2025-12-01T00:00:00\n?status=NEW,PENDING\n?country=!EE\n?ts=2025-11-20T07:00:00Z\n\n ```\n\n### Remember\n\n✅ All fields can be filtered (except calculated fields)  \n✅ Filters mirror ERP system behavior  \n✅ Use timestamp filtering for sync  \n✅ URL encode special characters  \n✅ Implement rate limiting (60 req/min)  \n✅ Handle errors with exponential backoff\n\n---\n\n_This documentation is maintained by the Directo development team.
