Armada Delivery API order placement

Welcome to the Armada delivery web app API documentation. Our API allows you to integrate your ordering app with our delivery service, enabling your customers to place orders for delivery directly from your app. This documentation will provide you with all the necessary information to integrate your app with our API, including authentication, request format, and webhooks for real-time updates.

Authentication

To use our API, you will need to generate an API key through the Armada Merchant UI. For that, our shared customer (Subscribed business), needs to:

Open Sidebar by clicking on the Menu icon in the top left corner of the screen
Open Settings page
Open API settings page
Click on "Generate API Key" button

Once you have the API key, you will need to include it in the headers of all API requests as the "Authorization" parameter, prefixed by the word Key.

Eg: Key somerandomkey-sdfsdfqmk
