Powerful APIs for easy integration

Create shipments, retrieve rates, subscribe to status webhooks and reconcile invoices — without a human retyping anything.

The short answer

The TransportHub API is a REST API with a sandbox environment, JSON payloads, bearer-token authentication and webhooks for every shipment status event. It also supports EDI 204, 214 and 210, and has pre-built connectors for major TMS, ERP and e-commerce platforms.

Getting started

Request sandbox credentials from your account team or through the contact form. Sandbox is free and available before you sign anything.

Authentication

Bearer token in the Authorization header. Tokens are scoped per environment, so a sandbox token can never touch production data.

Creating a shipment

POST /v1/shipments
Authorization: Bearer sk_test_xxxxxxxx
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "action": "add",
  "shipment": {
    "shipment_type": "shorthaul",
    "shipper": "5bd346c4bb75c40012c68fd2",
    "reference_numbers": [
      { "name": "My Primary Reference", "value": "th-123", "primary": true },
      { "name": "My Secondary Reference", "value": "th-12345" }
    ],
    "stops": [
      { "type": "pickup", "address": "1200 Logistics Way, Mississauga, ON", "window": ["2026-08-12T09:00", "2026-08-12T13:00"] },
      { "type": "delivery", "address": "88 Rue Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, QC", "window": ["2026-08-13T09:00", "2026-08-13T17:00"] }
    ]
  }
}

Webhooks

Subscribe to shipment.booked, shipment.collected, shipment.in_transit, shipment.delivered, shipment.exception and quote.received. Payloads are signed; verify the signature header before trusting the body.

Rate limits

600 requests per minute per token in production, 60 in sandbox. Rate limit headers are returned on every response.
