Create a shipment

Easily create a unified shipment to be tracked within project44's network by providing at least one shipment identifier.

Prerequisites

Before creating a shipment, ensure you have the following:

1. Authentication: Set-up proper authentication to access project44's APIs.
2. Shipment Identifiers: Have some logistics identifiers you want to start tracking.

Workflow

Complete these steps to create and view your shipment:

1. Make a POST request to /api/v4/shipments/tracking with your logistics identifiers as part of the request payload. Example request payload:

{
  "identifiers": [
    {
      "type": "BILL_OF_LADING",
      "value": "string"
    },
    {
      "type": "CARRIER_SCAC",
      "value": "string"
    }
  ]
}

2. After making the request check for a 200 HTTP response status code, indicating your shipment was successfully created.
3. Examine the response payload and locate the shipmentShareLink property. This link directs you to the Movement application, where you can view the shipment details and monitor real-time updates as they occur.
4. Optionally, integrate with our shipment webhook to receive real-time updates programmatically.
