Shipping Guide API

Decommissioned version 4, 5 and 6 of the Shipping Guide API. Customers should use Shipping Guide API 2.0 instead.

Overview of endpoints

Base URL

https://api.bring.com/shippingguide
Method Endpoint Usage
POST /v2/products Get shipment prices and leadtime
GET /v2/products Get shipment prices and leadtime
GET /v2/products/price Use this endpoint to get price. The request parameters are the same as for [Get shipment prices and estimated delivery](/api/shipping-guide_v2/#get-shipment-prices-and-estimated-delivery)
GET /v2/products/expectedDelivery Get estimated delivery time
POST /api/ws Use this endpoint to get same information as above REST API

Get shipment prices and estimated delivery

Use this endpoint to get expected delivery, service categories and additional information.

Measurements

For cargo services(5100, 5300, 9100, CARGO), Weight is mandatory and one of the Volume / Load Meter / Dimensions / Number of Pallets is mandatory.

Note: The prices for our revised services depends on volumetric weight: 5000, 5100, 5300, 5600, 5800, 4850 plus return services 9000, 9100, 9300 or 9600. For these services, dimensions (L/W/H) is needed to calculate the expected price correctly. Dimensions are also used to decide if handling fee or specialgoods fee will apply to the shipment. You might leave dimensions empty in your request, but be aware that returned prices might be incorrect.

REST POST vs GET

There is both a POST and a GET endpoint for REST. We recommend using the POST endpoint over the GET one, as this is more likely to get all new features.
