Content

API Key Authorization

The credentials for the API consist of a access-key, a string provided by Seven Senders. Before starting using the API, you need to request a JWT token by applying the POST/token operation containing your access-key. The JWT token should then be used inside the 'Authorization' header for every further request. Format: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. The JWT token is valid until next token needs to be retrieved. 

Workflow

  1. Create a label via post/label endpoint
  2. Response contains
    • Tracking number
    • URL to label file
    • carrier

Remarks

If you request outbound and return label in same request, response contains array with all information

Create a Label

Carrier Labels are created by using the POST operation of the 'label' endpoint (Post/labels).

Multi-Coli / Multi-Parcel Labels

Intro

Goal: The goals of this document is to describe, how to create labels for a so called multi-coli shipment using the 7S label API.

Definition multi-coli: Multi-coli is an order which is split and shipped in multiple packages/parcels. The split may occur due to weight or size of the individual packages/parcels. All packages/parcels belong to the same order but receive separate labels with their unique reference number.

Note: Before creating Multi-Coli shipments please note the following:

  • order_id cannot be printed on the label

  • reference_number has to be unique overall/across all orders, hence can only be used once

Step-by-Step Label Creation for Multi-Coli

Step 1: get token

Step 2: Authorize

Step 3: create order
