Detailed Description

Use this method to retrieve the list of orders for a user. The data will be returned as JSON or XML, depending on Accept header and/or URL extension.

The list is returned in a paged manner. The returned result will indicate the total number of orders, as well as number of orders per page and the number of orders in the requested page, which enables a client to iteratively retrieve all orders for the user if desired. The results are ordered in reverse chronological order by the date the order was placed.

Each order entity in the list contains summary information for the order - it omits comments and attachments. To get those, perform a GET /orders/{ordernum} with the appropriate order number.

See below for an annotated example of a response orders entity.
