Integrate Rail Container Tracking Data

Our platform gets data from variety of sources in order to create a complete view of a shipment and containers. However,some data is not universally available from all sources, and some data does not become available until certain milestones pass. This page will help you understand which data sources we support, and which data items should be universally expected by your code and which you need to code more defensively around.

Returns a list of your tracking requests. The tracking requests are returned sorted by creation date, with the most recent tracking request appearing first.

List tracking requests

To track an ocean shipment, you create a new tracking request. 
Two attributes are required to track a shipment. A `bill of lading/booking number` and a shipping line `SCAC`. 

Once a tracking request is created we will attempt to fetch the shipment details and it's related containers from the shipping line. If the attempt is successful we will create in new shipment object including any related container objects. We will send a `tracking_request.succeeded` webhook notification to your webhooks.  

If the attempt to fetch fails then we will send a `tracking_request.failed` webhook notification to your `webhooks`.  

A `tracking_request.succeeded` or `tracking_request.failed` webhook notificaiton will only be sent  if you have  atleast one active webhook. 

Create tracking requests via Terminal49's API for accurate shipment tracking and notifications.

#### Deprecation warning
The `raw_events` endpoint is provided as-is.

 For past events we recommend consuming `transport_events`.

---
Get a list of past and future (estimated) milestones for a container as reported by the carrier. Some of the data is normalized even though the API is called raw_events. 

Normalized attributes: `event` and `timestamp` timestamp. Not all of the `event` values have been normalized. You can expect the the events related to container movements to be normalized but there are cases where events are not normalized. 

For past historical events we recommend consuming `transport_events`. Although there are fewer events here those events go through additional vetting and normalization to avoid false positives and get you correct data.

Access raw event data for containers via Terminal49's API to track shipment progress and optimize your supply chain.
