Shipentegra API

Overview

The node integrates with the Shipentegra API to manage shipping and logistics operations. Specifically, the "Find Cargo Activities" operation allows users to retrieve information about cargo activities related to a given tracking number. This is useful for tracking shipments, monitoring cargo status updates, and managing logistics workflows.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically fetching the latest cargo activity details for a shipment based on its tracking number.
• Integrating shipment tracking into customer support systems to provide real-time updates.
• Monitoring cargo movements to trigger alerts or downstream processes in supply chain management.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains detailed information about cargo activities associated with the provided tracking number. This typically includes timestamps, locations, status updates, and descriptions of each cargo event.

If the node supports binary data (not explicitly shown here), it would likely relate to documents or labels associated with cargo activities, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON data describing cargo events.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Shipentegra API.
• The node makes HTTP requests to https://publicapi.shipentegra.com/v1.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication token and optional language preference is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid tracking number: Ensure the "Tracking Number" property is provided and correctly formatted.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
• API connectivity issues: Check network access to the Shipentegra API endpoint.
• Unexpected response structure: Confirm that the tracking number exists and that the API service is operational.
