Integration via API
Integration via API is a service provided by nShift making it easy to integrate your cloud-based ERP or WMS system with nShift Delivery resulting in simpler dispatch processing, safer transactions and significant time savings.
A REST API framework is used for communication, with JSON as data carrier offering a number of functions.
Notera
The REST API endpoints are only accessible via HTTPS and are located at api.unifaun.com.

Resources
Addresses is how you synchronize your address book with your cloud-based CRM or ERP system, letting you manage and update your address book in one place.
Shipments is how you create shipments and print shipment documents as PDF or ZPL files. The resource also has methods and endpoints for history follow-up and shipment deletion, that is, preventing sending EDI message to carrier.
Shipment-manifests is how you create and print shipment lists (also known as "Manifests", "End of day manifests", "Shipment manifests", etc.) as PDF files provided as a URL or a Base64 encoded file.

Print is how you manage print client applications, printers and print jobs on your nShift Delivery account.
