 * I have a desktop application, that is integrated with the WooCommerce API. I 
   sync orders, products, etc. I sometimes edit orders in my application and sync
   them with WooCommerce using the API.
 * Is it possible to check the WooCommerce server for any updates before sending/
   receiving any updates? Is there a way to use some API, etc to check the modified
   date of an order before sending an update?

 * There is a `date_modified` and `date_modified_gmt` rest api field for orders.
   So could pull that first, do a quick check, then proceed?
