Create your first shipment
To create your first shipment through Shipwell's API, you need to know the required components to make a shipment tenderable.
Before You Begin
The examples on this page create a fake shipment with no real products or goods. All examples are written using the Shipwell Sandbox environment. Shipments created using these instructions do not include carrier assignments.
API endpoint
The following POST request forms the base of the Shipment endpoint:
POST 'https://sandbox-api.shipwell.com/v2/shipments/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Token <user-token>'
--data-raw '{ <shipment-data> }'
Headers
The request utilizes both theContent-Type
and Authorization
headers. Set both to the following:Content-Type
: Set toapplication/json
to ensure that the endpoint returns a JSON responseAuthorization
: Use your user token for the authorization header. To see how to find your user token, follow the instructions on the Authentication page.
x-company-id
While included in the default list of headers,x-company-id
is not required to make a draft shipment. Although the Shipwell UI gives users the ability to change the customer associated with the shipment, the shipment API endpoint defaults to the company of the user creating the shipment. If you're using Postman to make API calls, uncheck x-company-id
in the Headers tab. Once you've entered your header variables, and gathered the data necessary to create a shipment, enter the data required using the syntax and options details in the next section.
Parts of shipments
The body of the shipment request is written using a similar syntax to the following examples. This section describes the individual pieces of the data body and outlines a few options within each to create your tenderable shipment.
Combine each piece into the--data-raw
request body before posting the API call.Metadata
Metadata enables Shipwell to track shipments through the platform programmatically. By default, all new shipments areopen: "true"
, indicating that the shipment has yet to be delivered. archived
indicates whether or not a shipment is active and defaults to "false",
. Tags are unique identifiers used to group shipments together. While not required to make a shipment tenderable, they help categorize shipments for easy programmatic access.
"metadata": {
"open": "true",
"archived": "false",
"tags": []
},
Mode
Indicates the type of transportation in which the shipment should be included by the carrier. Select one of the following:
FTL
: Full TruckloadLTL
: Less Than TruckloadVLTL
: Volume Less Than TruckloadDrayage
For the id and codes for each mode type, see Mode.
"mode": {
"id": 1,
"code": "FTL",
"description": "Full Truckload"
},
Equipment type
Equipment type describes what type of vehicle is needed to transport the shipment.
Dry Van
Reefer
Container
Autohauler
Bulk
Tanker
Curtain Side
name
parameter. So that endpoint understands the response when sharing your shipment with carriers, enter the same equipment type in the machine_readable
parameter in the same syntax as the example below. "equipment_type": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Dry Van",
"machine_readable": "DRY_VAN"
},
Service level
Service level ascribes how to look at the products in a shipment by the speed in which transportation must be given.
For the id and codes for each service level, see Service Level.
"service_level": {
"code": "STD",
"id": "19"
},
Stops
Stops tell the carrier where to pick up and drop off each shipment.original_index
determines the order in which locations in a stop are categorized, starting from 0
.For a shipment to be tenderable, all shipments require at least one pickup destination and one dropoff destination, ascribed by the is_pickup
and is_dropoff
parameters. The location
parameter tells the API the address and points of contact of each stop. Each location requires a location_name
and an address. location_type
tells the API what type of location the stop is, whether it's a business or a trade show. This is defined by the Business Type ids. point_of_contact
indicated the contact person for each location, including contact information. Each contact includes contact preferences
, which indicate when the contact wants to be updated in regard to shipment updates, set to either true
or false
. The example contains some commonly used preferences. planned_date
, planned_time_window_end
, and planned_time_window_start
tell each carrier the data, start time, and end time that a shipment can be picked up or dropped off. The date uses a YYYY-MM-DD format, and time follows a typical UTC format hh:mm:ss. Remember to give a date and time in the future. Otherwise, the API call will return an Invalid Input

Line items and products
The last required piece to make a shipment tenderable are the line items, or products, contained in each shipment. Each line item requires the following information:
description
: A description of the product of line itemtotal_packages
: The number of packages the line item is packed intopackage_weight
: The weigh of the packageweight_unit
: The unit of measurement used to weigh the package. Supported units atLB

List all shipments
After creating multiple shipments, use theGET shipments
endpoint to receive a list of all shipments. Remember that Shipwell only responds with shipments for the company of the user making the request. The shipment response orders shipments based on the date they were created, starting with the latest shipment. To change the order in which the response appears, use the ordering
parameter with the column for wish to sort the shipment response. Only columns that use integers prepend with -
for descending or +
for ascending can be used to order the shipment response.Dispatch Jobs
When enabled for a shipment, thedispatch_jobs
property of a shipment will contain information about the background task used to award, assign, and dispatch the shipment through the carrier's API.
The status
of the most recent dispatch job can be obtained by using the GET /v2/shipments/<shipment_id>
API to have the latest representation of a shipment and inspecting the most recent dispatch job (defined by the created_at
timestamp). The final status will be either SUCCESS
or ERROR
.
