Getting Started with ShipmentX's Developer GuideLast updated: 3 days ago

ShipmentX APIs are organized and designed around REST. We created our APIs to be easy to use, simple to test, and scalable to help our customers and partners get up and running quickly. Our APIs have predictable resource-oriented URLs, accept form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. ShipmentX's API allows you to quickly connect and automate your entire supply chain.

In order to use ShipmentX's API, users must have:

  • A ShipmentX account.
  • Access to the ShipmentX Sandbox environment . Contact Support for access.
  • Either Postman or a command-line application with cURL.

Use the APIs in test mode in our sandbox environment, which does not affect production (live) data or interact with supply chain partner networks and systems. The user token you use to authenticate requests determines whether the request is in production or in test mode.
