How to use this list

  1. Find the entry that matches what you are trying to build (e.g., "I need to pull sales data" → Point of Sale (POS) & Sales).
  2. Note which API(s) contain it — most operational data lives in v2+; use v1 only if you have an existing integration built against it.
  3. Open the matching endpoint group(s) in the API References section for full request/response details.

If you are not sure which group covers your use case, contact the PAR OPS support team — endpoint groups occasionally overlap or evolve between v1 and v2+.
