  title: Chowly POS Integration API
  description: >-
    Partial, best-effort specification of the Chowly POS integration API.
    Chowly is a restaurant digital-ordering and delivery-integration platform
    that injects third-party marketplace orders (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub,
    and 150+ channels) into a restaurant POS and synchronizes menus across
    every channel.


    Chowly does not publish an openly accessible developer portal or
    machine-readable API description. The Chowly API is partner-gated and
    provisioned per restaurant location: a restaurant or integration partner
    receives a per-location API key from Chowly and uses it as a bearer token
    against the base URL below. The operations modeled here are the ones
    surfaced by Chowly's publicly available API client libraries (notably the
    open-source @goparrot/chowly-api-client), which document menu retrieval and
    order create/retrieve operations. Request and response payload schemas are
    not publicly documented and are intentionally left generic; do not treat
    this document as authoritative. Confirm all paths, schemas, and behavior
    with Chowly partner documentation under your integration agreement.
