Glossary

The app and the website use everyday rental words; the API uses resource names. This page maps one to the other, and gives the English and Spanish terms side by side.

API terms

Term	Meaning
Scope	A permission of an API key, such as `orders:read`. It bounds which operations the key may call.
Cursor	The opaque value that points to the next page of a list. Pass it back unchanged.
Idempotency key	A value you choose, sent in `Idempotency-Key`, so a retried write does not run twice.
ETag	The tag of a representation, sent back in `If-Match` to avoid overwriting a change you have not seen.
Add-on	A module that is contracted separately, such as CRM. Without it, its operations answer 402.
Business time zone	The IANA time zone of the account, in which bare days are read.

For the same terms explained from the product side, see the Filmo glossary in the help center.

Core concepts
Data model
Orders connect a contact, an optional project and the equipment rented; documents, payments, planning and the catalog hang from them.
Core concepts
Statuses
Most statuses are closed lists of text values. For orders, the field shows one of 12 raw statuses while the list filter uses seven broader buckets.
