Supports filtering by `vendor_account_id`, `status` (draft / shipped / credited / cancelled), `date_range`, and `location_id` (Layer 4 warehouse isolation, inherited via the customer RMA's originating order). Results are cursor-paginated using `next_cursor`. Requires `returns:read` scope. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml get /vendor-returns openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Arcus ERP Public API version: 1.0.0 description: > Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data migration. **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header. Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent__` (or `ark_test_*` for sandbox). API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**. **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are flat (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform endpoints (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags. **Key capabilities.** - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource). - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`). - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header. - Webhook events for asynchronous notification. - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation. servers: - url: https://api.arcuserp.com/v1 description: Arcus ERP API (accepts both live `ark_live_*` and test `ark_test_*` keys) - url: https://dev-api.arcuserp.com/v1 description: >- Dev sandbox API (test-only data, accepts `ark_test_*` keys against dev RDS) security: [] paths: /vendor-returns: get: tags: - Returns summary: List vendor returns description: > Returns a paginated list of vendor return records (outbound RMAs to suppliers) for the entity.
