Orders
Orders are to group together some tasks (waypoints) that need to be completed to full fill the order.
The new version of the API allows to create orders and tasks in one API call. And combines to two objects Order and Task.
Please find the tehnical API specification here for Task and Order.
An example of such a API call to create an order with two tasks (a pickup and a drop off) would look as follows. The pickup task is created with a address and the dropoff task is crated from a coordinate.
💡
If only a coordinate is provided the reverse geocoding will happen on the GSMtasks platform and we will provide an displayable address.

💡
This option is efficient way to avoid rate-limit issues. Also please not that using a POST request with external_id values will detect if the Order has already been created and if so then updates the Order which can save even more API calls.
