Tracking API and Integration

tracking API is an application programming that allows businesses and developers to integrate the carrier’s package tracking data into their websites and applications. It enables users to track the latest statuses of shipments including the current location, in-transit movements, estimated delivery time, and any exceptions throughout the delivery process.

TrackingMore API is a multi-carrier tracking API that integrates with 1,334 carriers globally to offer a one-stop order tracking service for eCommerce and other industries. It is equipped with real-time tracking capability, automated shipment notifications, and more.

TrackingMore API offers an efficient package tracking process with these steps:

Import Tracking Numbers: Begin by importing tracking numbers using the API or a CSV file.

Provide Courier Information: If the courier is known, enter the 'courier_code', or use TrackingMore's Detect API for automatic identification.

Create and Track Shipments: For individual tracking numbers, use the 'Create a Tracking' API. For multiple numbers, use 'Create Trackings' and then 'Get' API to obtain their statuses.

Automated Updates with Webhook: Set up the Webhook feature for automated package status updates, offering timely notifications complementing the 'Get' API for manual status queries. 

This streamlined approach ensures timely and accurate tracking information for a smooth tracking experience.

Compared with tracking API, TrackingMore API outstands it in the following ways. 

When it comes to the tracking scope, TrackingMore API provides tracking information from 1,334 carriers worldwide as contrasted to ’s limit to its own logistics network. 

Furthermore, TrackingMore API caters to all entities seeking package tracking solutions, from online retailers to large enterprises, without imposing restrictions on tracking volume or user qualifications.

With TrackingMore API, businesses can efficiently integrate extensive tracking features into their systems, offering real-time updates and a broader reach with a global network of carriers, suitable for various operational needs.

TrackingMore's Webhook notification works as an automated communication method between TrackingMore’s system and a user’s application. Here’s how it operates:

First, you configure the Webhook in your TrackingMore account by specifying a URL endpoint on your server where you want to receive notifications.

Second, when a specific event occurs in the TrackingMore system, like a change in a package's status, the Webhook is triggered. Once triggered, TrackingMore sends a POST request with the tracking information or event data as a payload to the configured URL endpoint.

Then, your server will receive this data, allowing your system to process the information and take necessary actions, like updating the package status on your platform or notifying the end-user.

This process automates the update flow, removing the need for manual tracking status checks, and ensuring that you receive timely notifications about the tracked packages.

Setting up Webhook is a much more smoother process than you might have imagined. The following steps help you to receive parcel statuses with ease.

1. Begin by registering for a TrackingMore account.
2. Navigate to the 'Developer' section and select the 'Webhooks' option.
3. Add a new Webhook by entering the endpoint url and corresponding description.
4. Choose the specific statuses that you wish to receive notifications for from TrackingMore.
