So you want to start tracking your ocean shipments and containers and you have a few BL numbers. Follow the guide. Our API responses use JSONAPI schema. There are client libraries available in almost every language. Our API should work with these libs out of the box. Our APIs can be used with any HTTP client; choose your favorite! We love Postman, it’s a friendly graphical interface to a powerful cross-platform HTTP client. Best of all it has support for the OpenAPI specs that we publish with all our APIs. We have created a collection of requests for you to easily test the API endpoints with your API Key. Link to the collection below.

Run in Postman

​
Get an API Key

Sign in to your Terminal49 account and go to your developer portal page to get your API key.

​
Authentication

When passing your API key it should be prefixed with Token. For example, if your API Key is ‘ABC123’ then your Authorization header would look like: 
"Authorization": "Token ABC123"
