How it works

APIConnect offers a number of resources with functions and methods that can be used to perform certain actions.

For information about some crucial objects, please refer to REST API Objects.

Resources
/shipments

Print shipment documents as PDF or ZPL files provided as a URL or a Base64 encoded file. The resource also has methods and endpoints for history follow-up and shipment deletion, that is, preventing sending EDI message to carrier.

Printed files are available for one (1) hour and can be fetched multiple times.

/shipment-manifests

Print shipment list as PDF files provided as a URL or a Base64 encoded file. The resource also has methods and endpoints for creating copies of previously printed shipment lists.

Printed files are available for one (1) hour and can be fetched multiple times.

/stored-shipments

Store shipments that do not require immediate printing. Stored shipments can be printed either via the API or manually from the nShift Delivery interface.

/consolidated-shipments

Print shipment documents continuously while holding the EDI message. Creating fewer shipments containing multiple orders reduces shipping costs. The Consolidated shipment feature's availability depends on service.

/shipment-waybills

List, view and print waybills for bulk shipments with certain services. Reduces manual processes and errors and simplifies keeping track of shipments included in a waybill.
