Setup
The Torqued FWS webservice (API) is a REST interface running over HTTPS, protected by a unique token for each dealer. Responses are in JSON format with HTTP return and error codes as applicable. To get set up, users must first be a dealer through Torqued Distribution. Once enabled, dealers can generate a unique token via the settings on their dealer console login.
All webservice calls are made to https://fws.torqued.io as GET calls with the following headers:
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <your token>
Shipping Services
Below are the valid shipping services to send for new orders and which are returned as responses. A specific service can be requested for UPS, USPS and DHL by setting the shipping_method field when creating an order. Alternatively, the ground and intl_air shipping method types can be used to specify the lowest cost option available for ground and international shipment, respectively.
For any account set up for payment prior to fulfillment and not on terms, the shipping service can also be edited when an order is paid for prior to shipping.

Description
Gets the detailed fitment information for a fitment id. Fitment IDs are Torqued internal IDs representing a year, make, model and trim (submodel). See /product/<sku>/fitmentids to get fitment IDs for a product or /product/<sku>/fitments to get the full list of YMMT fitments for a product.

Description
Gets inventory availability for the product SKUs beginning with search string. For example, using NUK-150 will retrieve NUK-15001201, NUK-15001202, etc. This API also allows a wildcard “*” as the search term to get all inventory, though we ask that you fetch this only once a day if possible. For differential updates, see the /products/updated/<since> endpoint.
Looking at the example below, you will notice total and available is returned. The difference is the physical on hand vs what is available for shipment now. The total field matches the sum of the available in the location section, including any stock with the manufacturer. The available_direct field shows the total inventory available in Torqued Distribution warehouses and available_1day shows the inventory available with 1 day handling time across all warehouses.
Input
- search Beginning of product SKUs for which inventory is desired (required)

Description
Gets details of a single product SKU including description, images, dimensions and inventory.
Looking at the example below, you will notice total and available is returned in the inventory section. The difference is the physical on hand vs what is available for shipment now. The total field matches the sume of the available in the location section, including any stock with the manufacturer.
If an item is out of stock and an estimated stock availability date is known, the estimated_ship_date field inside inventory will be set formatted as 2022-10-31. It is empty otherwise.
The category field is populated when known. Format is Torqued Distribution’s two-level category system of department and category.
The universal field indicates whether this is a universal fitment part with no vehicle-specific information. If set to false, fitment data can be queried. There may be products which are fitment-specific, but for which fitment data is not available and therefore they are set to universal until fitment data can be added to the product.
Input

"description": "The Nuke Performance 3 liter fuel surge tank can be run in a dual or single internal pump setup. With this tank you minimize the risk of fuel starvation when running at low fuel levels and where the fuel system can't cope with the extremely hard driving such as drifting, drag racing and track days. By generating higher g forces, fuel can be pushed to one side or sloshed around too much causing starvation to the high pressure pump that supplies the fuel rail. This is a potentially catastrophic situation, particularly in turbo applications, but also on naturally aspirated engines. With a high quality fuel surge tank like this designed for use with top tier pumps, fuel starvation should never happen. As is the hallmark of Nuke Performance products, this tank is designed and manufactured to handle extreme amounts of power. Designed to stand up to the destructive properties of alcohol fuels, including methanol and ethanol. For use on turbo-charged, super-charged and naturally aspirated engine applications. Delivered with stainless-steel mounting plate for easy mounting and 5x 3/4 AN8 fittings for all the top cover connections and 1x 3/4 plug if you choose to use it for a single fuel pump. Any 3/4 AN6-AN10 fitting can be used if desired. No fuel pumps are included. This version is compatible with one or two Deatschwerks 200 / 300 / 400 fuel pumps.",

Webhooks
Torqued Distribution also provides a set of webhooks to push updates from Torqued to a dealer’s servers. For example, a dealer may want to subscribe to order updates via webhook instead of polling Torqued FWS continuously.
To set up, a second token unique from the webservice needs to be generated on the dealer’s settings page and URLs need to be set up for the endpoint where the dealer wishes to receive the update. These are also in JSON format and test messages can be sent from the console to verify and endpoint is working correctly.
