REST resources
Documented REST endpoints for tracking, schedules, quotes, bookings and documents return consistent JSON for straightforward integration.
Overview
Plan with Developer API
The Developer API connects your ERP, TMS or customer systems to Fast Safe Cargo. RESTful JSON endpoints cover tracking, schedules, quotes, bookings and documents, so shipment data flows into the tools your teams already use without manual re-entry.
Webhooks push events such as departures, arrivals, delays and document availability to your systems as they happen, removing the need for constant polling. A sandbox environment with test data lets developers build and validate integrations before switching to production.
Access is secured with OAuth 2.0 and scoped credentials, and our information security is managed to ISO 27001. API access is provided to approved customers and partners; our integration team supports onboarding, testing and go-live.
- Search or act using an accurate shipment or account reference.
- Review assumptions, planned dates and confirmed events distinctly.
- Share information only with authorised colleagues.
- Escalate exceptional cargo and time-critical decisions to FSC.
- Keep booking and transport documents as the governing record.
