Datashift Freight API

Freight

Carrier-agnostic freight orchestration. Rate-shop and book shipments across all your configured carrier accounts from a single API.

Carrier-agnostic

One request body shape works across TNT AU, BEX AU, and any future carrier. Switch carriers without changing your integration.

POST /rates fans out to every active connector simultaneously. One carrier being unavailable does not fail the request.

Your Bearer token identifies both your tenant and your carrier accounts. No tenant ID needed in the URL.

Issue an API key

Settings → Freight → API Keys → Issue new key. The raw key is shown once — store it in your secrets manager.

Discover connectors

Call GET /connectors to list active carrier accounts and retrieve their connectorId values.

Shop rates

Call POST /rates to fan out across all connectors simultaneously. Filter by serviceCode if you need one carrier's pricing.

Create a booking

Call POST /{connectorId}/bookings with the serviceCode from the chosen quote. Returns orderNumber and consignmentNumber.

Retrieve the label

Call GET /shipments/{id}/label to stream the PDF. Format (A4 or thermal) is controlled per-connector in the portal.

All endpoints require a Bearer API key issued from the portal. Include it in every request:

Authorization: Bearer dsfrt_<64-hex-chars>
