DCSA releases Track and Trace Open API definitions

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, February 18, 2020 – In support of our Track & Trace data and interface standards published on 28 January, DCSA is proud to announce the release of our definitions for Track & Trace APIs. With the release of these definitions, carriers will be able to rapidly implement DCSA standard-compliant APIs for customer-facing T&T events.

These definitions are the result of careful design considerations and best practices from multiple carriers to ensure that the output of the API aligns with the logical flow of shipment events. Using these APIs, shippers will be able to query carrier systems from any existing technology platform and receive T&T information in a common and easily consumable format.
