How do I get an API Key for Gelato?

Log in to your Gelato dashboard, navigate to Developers > API keys, and you can generate a new production or test key there.

What is the difference between an Order ID and a Reference ID?

The Order ID is generated by Gelato, while the Reference ID is your own internal identifier passed during order creation to map the records.

Can I cancel an order via the agent?

Yes, use the 'cancel_print_order' tool. Note that cancellation is only possible if the order status is still 'created' and production hasn't started.

How do I find the correct product UID?

Use the 'list_catalog_products' tool to browse available items. The agent will return the unique 'productUid' needed for order creation.
