Getting Started with Shipwell's Developer Guide
Shipwell 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. Shipwell's API allows you to quickly connect and automate your entire supply chain.
