Connect API documentation

Use the Connect APIs to create bookings, request barcode labels, retrieve freight lists, generate waybills, and retrieve shipment tracking details through SOAP-based integration. Start with General Information to understand setup, access, environments, and WSDL links, then choose the API you want to integrate with and use the sample XML together with the field specifications to build and validate your request.

Waybill API

Use this section to retrieve a waybill document for an existing booking. Start with the sample XML request and response, then validate the required fields using the schema table.

Tip: The waybill document is returned as encoded document content and should be handled by the client application after a successful response.
