You should be able to determine this by using the /v3/merchants/{mId}/orders endpoint with a GET request specifying that the orders are sorted by modified time ascending with a limit of 1 (limit is not necessary, but will result in faster queries and less server load). Orders are synced to the clover devices based on modified time rather than created time.

See https://docs.clover.com/build/web-api/ and https://www.clover.com/api_docs/#orders_Orders regarding specifying the sort order and the endpoint.

Thanks Dan,

But can we rely on this, I mean Does clover APIs provides data that has been created before 3 months?

What I want is first order created time, It may be a year back or more. SO does this API work for that?
