Create a Shipment

Use the POST: Initialize tracking on a shipment endpoint to start a tracking job and initialize an air shipment.

Get Shipment Information

Get Events Data for a Shipment

Use the GET: Fetch the event history for a shipment endpoint to retrieve information on shipment milestones. Event history is the primary way to understand where your shipments are or what milestones they have completed.

Get Position Data for a Shipment

Use the GET: Fetch the position history for a shipment endpoint to get granular information about a shipment’s location.

Get a Shipment’s Route History

Use the GET: Fetch the route information for a shipment including the stops and route segments endpoint to get specific information about a shipment’s route and the stops a shipment has made.

Get Full Shipment History

Use the GET: Get full tracking history for a shipment endpoint to get detailed information on a shipment’s stops, events, and positions throughout its transportation journey.

Update a Shipment

Use the POST: Initialize a shipment for tracking endpoint to include additional information (e.g., shipment attributes, shipment identifiers) for a shipment after the shipment has been created. To update a shipment, you must either,

• Create a new shipment which will then be de-duplicated with the original, or
• Delete the shipment to stop tracking and then create a new shipment with the POST: Initialize a shipment for tracking endpoint [link to Create section].

Delete a Shipment

Use the DELETE: Delete shipment route from project44 endpoint to stop tracking on a shipment. This endpoint can also be used in the first step for updating a shipment. See Update a Shipment [link to update section] for more information.
