Shipment API

The Shipment API is used to book shipments and send transport instructions to Bring. For customers using EDIFACT today, switching to the Shipment API is a good alternative when implementing new automated order solutions. The API supports the majority of services in Bring’s service portfolio and offers options to both create, update and delete bookings and instructions. You may use your own SSCC-compliant labels and your own shipment number series. Using the API requires a good knowledge of Bring’s service portfolio and logistics value chain as the level of content validation is low compared to the Booking API.

Authentication

To integrate with the Bring APIs, you will need a Mybring user account with an API key. Information about prerequisites and authentication headers can be found on the general API Getting Started page.

Formats

REST XML/JSON over HTTP. ShipmentAPI endpoints will assume all requests are ISO-8859-1 encoded.

In addition to the documentation on this pages feel free to check out our swagger page for this API.

Checking prices and availability

The Shipment API uses Shipping Guide as the source for price and availability (when supported in the Shipping Guide) for the different products. We advise clients of the Shipment API to use Shipping Guide API for getting the list price and checking availability before sending a booking request. Note that invoice payment is the only available payment option for the Shipment API. This means that the Mybring user ID used in the booking request must have access to the customer number specified as payer of the booking.

Shipment API Instructions

A submission to Shipment API must have a ShipmentType of one of the following

HealthCheck

This is simply to check if the service is available.
