## Before you call it

1. Get the tenant ID and a System App client ID and secret from the merchant's Copilot admin, with the narrowest role the task needs
2. Request a new system token from {authURL}/v1/token every 10 minutes, since system apps receive no refresh token
3. Send x-fabric-tenant-id on every call, and x-fabric-channel-id where the merchant sells in more than one channel
4. Page order searches with offset and limit, because the default response returns 10 orders
5. Read errorCode and context.endpoint in Orders and Inventory errors, and check for duplicates before retrying a write

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST '{authURL}/v1/token' \
  -H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  --data-urlencode 'scope=s2s' \
  --data-urlencode 'client_id={clientId}' \
  --data-urlencode 'client_secret={clientSecret}'
curl https://api.fabric.inc/v3/product-attributes \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \
  -H 'x-fabric-tenant-id: {tenantId}'
```
