API

The JSON API that will allow you to get your rates...everywhere.

Getting Started

Need Help? We're here.

If you have any questions at any step of the integration process, let us know, we're here to help! Send us an email at developers@flagshipcompany.com

Authentication

You will need to create a TOKEN from the SmartShip Authentication Gateway. Your regular FlagShip credentials can be used on this page to generate an app-specific TOKEN.

NOTE:

The Token is one way encrypted. If you lose it, there is no way to get it back - you'll need to get a new one.

The API is stateless and requires authentication for every request.

HTTPS only

HTTPS is required to connect to the API and furthermore it is rate-limited to 1 request per second, with bursts of 5 allowed. Exceeding this limit will return a 429 - Too many requests error.

How to create a request

Once you have generated a new token, you need to create a special header for the API to accept the request.

x-smartship-token should contain the TOKEN value obtained when generating the token.

To submit a valid request, your headers should look like this: 

GET /test/ HTTPS/1.1
Host: api.smartship.io
X-Smartship-Token: kXCVM0pCgB7QB5cp-DlnIo3TA77xZE_yqWqwnia1pGc
Content-Type: application/json
The Token header must be present for all requests.

FlagShip REST PHP Client Library

One quick way to integrate FlagShip API into your PHP App.
To get started with FlagShip REST PHP Client Library: learn more.

NOTE:

This library is fully compatible to all entry-points specified in this document.

Responses

The response HTTP codes are important. They follow the REST principles, notably:

  • 200 OK
  • 201 Created - The request created the ressource on our server.
  • 204 No Content - Means the query executed successfuly but we have no content in the body.
  • 206 Partial Content - Used for partial quotes, e.g: UPS failed but we have an answer for Purolator and FedEx.
  • 400 Bad Request - This means there is a problem with the request you submitted. Ususally the explaination is in the body.
  • 401 Unauthorized - There is a problem with the identification.
  • 403 Forbidden - Means you are identified properly but have no access to the ressource.
  • 409 Conflict - Means you cannot do this operation at this time for this request.
  • 412 Precondition Failed - Means that while the request is valid, your account lacks sufficient funds to proceed with this shipment.
  • 500 Internal Server Error - Means FlagShip API crashed. A error message should accompany this code.
  • 502 Bad Gateway - Means one of our partners' API returned an error response.
  • 503 Service Unavailable - Means we temporarily down for maintenance.

Errors

For 4xx and 5xx you will receive different errors type. In case of a 400 the error will show where the problem occurs, e.g : 

{
    "content": null,
    "errors": {
        "from": {
            "country": ["This value is not valid."]
        }
    },
    "notices": null
}
In this case for example, the "country" field in the "from" section of your request has an error.

In the case of a courier errors (502) it will show which courier, with an array of all the errors returned by the courier.: 
{
    "content": null,
    "errors": {
        "ups": ["The maximum per package weight for the selected service from the selected country is 150.00 pounds."],
        "fedex": ["There are no valid services available. "],
        "purolator": ["The weight of an individual piece cannot exceed 150 lb"]
    },
    "notices": null
}

NOTE:

In the examples both in requests and responses, arrays are truncated with the following: 

"..."
These are to keep the documentation succinct and are of course not part of them.
