New baseurl: https://api.nshiftportal.com/track/shipmentdata

The new baseurl works with client IDs created in nShift Portal. 

Old baseurl: https://customer-api.consignorportal.com/ApiGateway/ShipmentData

The old baseurl works with client IDs created in Consignor Portal.

This is a REST API and can only be used for sending/receiving requests so is not meant to be opened in a browser.

Authentication | Bearer

The API supports Bearer Authentication
See this article on how to generate the ClientId and ClientSecret

Example of how to request a token

curl -X POST "https://account.nshiftportal.com/idp/connect/token" 
--header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
--data-urlencode "grant_type=client_credentials" 
--data-urlencode "client_id={{CLIENT_ID}}" 
--data-urlencode "client_secret={{CLIENT_SECRET}}"

Response

{
    "access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjI3QjA1ODk4Nzc1OEUwMkMI1NiIsInR2...",
    "expires_in": 3600,
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "scope": "public_api_portal_shipment_data"
}

The Token is valid for 60 minutes before it expires and you have to re-authenticate

Note: If you get the following error, check where your credentials were made. If you have credentials from www.consignorportal.com you need to create new ones on www.nshiftportal.com 

All requests must have the token in the Authorization header

curl -X POST "{{URL}}/ShipServer/ApiGateway/ShipmentData/" 
-H "Authorization: bearer {{TOKEN}}"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
--data-raw "{}"
