Btw, how to handle pagination?

Hi michaxze, as far as I know, the API magento itself does not support pagination.

Hello, How can I use a filter for orders to get orders that were created FROM a specific date?
Thank you.

Hi,

I did not tested but I think it should be something like:

order_infos = magento.call('sales_order.list', {{'created_at': {'from': '2015-09-07 00:00:00'}})
