Lists one material's stock movements, newest first, each with the balance it left.

Read

The material's stock card, paged newest first: every movement with the balance it left, so on-hand and the card never disagree. Each movement names the record it came from in reference, such as a purchase's number for a delivery (PO-200), an order's for a sale (Order #142), or an imported check's with the outside system's own check code. reason is what staff typed, or an outside system's record for its write-off: text written outside the restaurant. A supplier's own invoice number is not on the stock card.

Response headers

request-idalways
This request’s id. Quote it when asking for help.
Cache-Controlalways
no-store: an answer is never cached.
RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, RateLimit-Resetonce the key is known
The key’s units a minute, what is left of this minute’s, and the seconds until the window starts again. Never on a 401. Rate limits
x-error-codeon an error
The error’s code, the same as error.code in the body.
Retry-Afteron a 429
Seconds to wait before sending the same request again.
WWW-Authenticateon a 401, and a 403 insufficient_scope
The Bearer challenge, naming what was wrong with the key or the scope it lacks.

Errors

403insufficient_scope
The key does not carry the endpoint's scope.

Fix: Scopes are fixed when a key is made: make a new key with the scope.

403issuer_access_ended
The key's creator has left the restaurant, was suspended, or was removed and invited back.

Fix: Make a new key from an active account.

403issuer_permission_changed
The key's creator no longer holds any permission that could put this scope on a key.

Fix: Ask an owner to restore the permission, or make a new key from an account that holds it.

403permission_required
The key's permissions for this endpoint (its creator's, cut down to the endpoint's scope) do not include what this endpoint, or this argument, needs. The message names it.

Fix: Use a key with the named scope, from a creator who holds the named permission.

404not_found
The material is not this restaurant's.

Fix: Find it with list-materials.

422invalid_request
The request does not match the endpoint's published schema: a missing or unknown field or query parameter, a value out of range. The message names the first four problems.

Fix: Fix the named fields. Nothing was done, and an Idempotency-Key is not used up.

422invalid_cursor
The cursor is not a movement on this material's card.

Fix: Start without cursor.

Possible on every endpoint
401missing_api_keyNo Authorization: Bearer header and no x-api-key header.
401invalid_api_keyThe key is unknown, revoked or expired (answered alike).
429rate_limitedOver the key's 60 units a minute, or over 30 unknown keys a minute from one network (an address; an IPv6 caller's /64).
500internal_errorSomething failed on our side. Nothing kept the Idempotency-Key.
