Getting Order fields to send out via Curl

[PrestashopEnthu]

Dear experienced developers, 

Overview:
I am consuming an API to send an order out to carrier vendor upon order creation in Prestashop 1.6.1.14. When a customer purchase an item, chose a specific carrier and successfully make necessary payment, it will send out the order to carrier vendor.

What I have created:
1) A custom module with hookdisplayAdminOrder - I am using this to display a button so I can print Shipping and Return labels to attach to item physically.
2) Custom module has been created with an option to set configuration fields via backoffice. I will be using the fields to set my Curl options.
3) Curl token has been generated and cached in proper, for usage to send out orders

Issues:
1) I have read online that there is a hook called actionValidateOrder, it is currently triggering upon creation of an order. Am I using the right hook for as I should also check on validated payment?
2) I would like to understand how to pull/retrieve the data for new orders? I will use these data to send out the order to shipping vendor via API such as Customer name, Address etc.

Thank you for time and guidance.

I have managed to get an answer for my question above.

1) Reference: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Hooks+in+PrestaShop+1.5
- This hook does check on payment. 
- "After an order has been validated. Doesn't necessarily have to be paid."

2) Below is the code that actually executes on actionValidateOrder
 

// Hook validate order
Hook::exec('actionValidateOrder', array(
    'cart' => $this->context->cart,
    'order' => $order,
    'customer' => $this->context->customer,
    'currency' => $this->context->currency,
    'orderStatus' => $order_status
));

Thank you.
