  title: Order Desk Inventory Items API
  description: The Order Desk API is a JSON REST API for programmatically managing an Order Desk store - an ecommerce order management and fulfillment routing platform. It exposes Orders, Order Items, Shipments, Inventory Items, and Store settings, plus batch and utility endpoints. Every request must include two headers, ORDERDESK-STORE-ID and ORDERDESK-API-KEY, which are found in the Order Desk dashboard under Store Settings then API. List endpoints support limit (default 50, max 500) and offset pagination and return a status field with pagination metadata. The API is rate limited with a leaky-bucket limiter (~100 requests per rolling 30-second window).
