Overview

About the API: 

The Container Tracking API is a powerful tool that allows companies to track and monitor their shipping containers in real-time. This API enables users to retrieve a wealth of information about the container, such as its current location, temperature, and other important parameters. This data can be used to optimize logistics operations, improve supply chain efficiency, and provide better customer service.

The Container Tracking API can be integrated into a wide range of systems and applications, making it highly flexible and adaptable to different use cases. For example, logistics companies can use this API to provide their customers with real-time updates on the location and status of their shipments, reducing the need for manual tracking and improving transparency.

Manufacturers can also benefit from the Container Tracking API by monitoring the movement of their products through the supply chain. By tracking containers and their contents, manufacturers can optimize production schedules, reduce waste, and improve inventory management. They can also use the data from the API to identify potential issues or delays in the supply chain, enabling them to take corrective action before it becomes a problem.

Retailers can also use the Container Tracking API to improve their supply chain operations. By tracking the movement of shipping containers containing their products, retailers can ensure that they have the right inventory in stock at the right time. This can help them avoid stockouts and reduce the need for costly expedited shipping.

In addition to its tracking capabilities, the Container Tracking API also provides a range of analytics tools that enable users to analyze the data collected by the API. This includes tools for visualizing container movement patterns, identifying bottlenecks in the supply chain, and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery rates and inventory turnover.

Overall, the Container Tracking API is a valuable tool for companies operating in the logistics and supply chain industries. By providing real-time tracking and monitoring of shipping containers, this API enables companies to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and provide better customer service.

  2. Manufacturers can use the API to monitor the movement of their products through the supply chain, ensuring that they are delivered on time and in the correct condition. This can help reduce waste, optimize production schedules, and improve inventory management.

  3. Retailers can use the API to track the movement of their products from the manufacturer to the store, helping to ensure that they have the right inventory in stock at the right time. This can help reduce stockouts and improve customer satisfaction.

  4. Shipping companies can use the API to optimize their operations, such as by identifying inefficiencies in their supply chain and optimizing delivery routes to reduce fuel costs.

  5. Government agencies can use the API to monitor the movement of hazardous materials or other regulated substances, ensuring that they are being transported safely and in compliance with regulations.

  6. Insurance companies can use the API to monitor the location and condition of insured cargo, reducing the risk of losses and improving underwriting accuracy.

  7. Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) can use the API to track the movement of multiple shipments for multiple clients, providing a consolidated view of their operations and helping to optimize their overall logistics network.

In summary, the Container Tracking API is a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of industries and applications to improve supply chain visibility, optimize logistics operations, and provide better customer service.

Container Tracking API FAQs

The Create Request endpoint returns a JOB ID after submitting a container code and shipping line code. The Retrieve Response endpoint returns detailed information about the container, including its status, shipping line, container number, and movement history.

Key fields in the response include "Status," "ShippingLine," "ContainerNumber," "FromCountry," "LoadingDate," and "TSPorts," which provide insights into the container's current state and journey.

The response data is structured as a JSON object, with fields categorized into container details, shipping information, and port arrival/departure data, allowing for easy parsing and integration into applications.

The Create Request endpoint allows users to submit tracking queries, while the Retrieve Response endpoint provides real-time updates on container status, location, and historical movement data.

Users must provide the MBL code (Master Bill of Lading), container code, and the shipping line code to create a request. Accepted shipping line codes include major carriers like Maersk, Hapag Lloyd, and COSCO.

Users can analyze the returned data to track shipments, monitor conditions (like temperature), and optimize logistics operations by identifying delays or inefficiencies in the supply chain.

The data is sourced from shipping lines and logistics networks, ensuring comprehensive coverage of container movements and conditions across various regions and shipping routes.

Typical use cases include real-time shipment tracking for logistics companies, inventory management for retailers, and compliance monitoring for government agencies handling hazardous materials.

General FAQs

Once subscribed, return to the API page and you will see your API Access Key displayed at the top of the documentation page. You can use this key to authenticate your requests.

You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.

The free trial lasts for 7 days and allows you to make up to 50 API requests.

No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:

x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.

The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply go to the Pricing section of the API you're subscribed to and click the "Unsubscribe" button.

Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Once your subscription is canceled, access to the service will end immediately, regardless of any remaining API calls in your quota.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it's important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
