  title: Olo Ordering Accounts API
  description: The Olo Ordering API is the platform's order-injection surface, enabling certified partner apps and branded restaurant clients to retrieve brand and menu data, build and validate baskets, and submit orders into Olo's network of restaurant locations. Requests are authorized with an HMAC-SHA256 signature over a canonical message (client id, HTTP verb, content type, base64 SHA-256 of the body, path and query, and the Date header), sent in the Authorization header as "OloSignature {clientId}:{signature}" alongside an RFC 1123 Date header. Sandbox credentials are issued through the Olo Developer Portal after partner certification. The operations documented here are sourced from Olo's official signature-authorization code samples (github.com/ololabs/dev-support-code-samples). The full reference is gated behind the Olo Developer Portal.
