`/shipments` endpoints

Create a new shipment, rate and confirm, retrieve shipment information, retrieve shipment documents.

There are two options for creating shipments:

1) Multiple API calls (similar workflow to client area):

call Rate endpoint;
select one of the rates returned;
call Confirm endpoint specifying the chosen rate;

2) Simplified “one step” procedure:

call only one endpoint: Create and confirm a new shipment
specify a general service to use (economy or express) and the system will select the best rate automatically;

Methods : GET, POST

Note: if the shipment is subject to customs, the exportDeclaration object is required.

Save shipment

`POST /shipments/save`

The request JSON API document should contain a shipment object as the document’s data member.

Examples

Rate shipment

`POST /shipments/rate`

The request JSON API document should contain a shipment object as the document’s data member.

Examples

Confirm shipment

`POST /shipments/confirm`

The request JSON API document should contain a shipment object as the document’s data member.

The meta property of the shipment should contain a rate object (retrieved using the “Rate shipment” endpoint).

The attributes.finalCost property of the rate is optional. If present, the API will attempt to match the rate price when confirming the shipment. If the new price is different, the shipment will not be confirmed and an error will be returned. If the attributes.finalCost property is omitted, the shipment will be confirmed without checking the price.
