Containers
Containers Overview
The containers APIs are used when you move multiple deliveries / shipments at the same time. You are able to add any number of deliveries / shipments to a container, then just update the tracking information for the container and all of the deliveries / shipments will be automatically updated. All webhooks and notifications will still fire for the deliveries / shipments.
While a delivery / shipment is part of a container, you will not be able to update the tracking information for that specific delivery / shipment.
While deliveries / shipments can be added and removed from a container as many times as required, a container is only intended to be used for a single batched delivery / shipment.
Object Identification
All container-related objects follow a consistent identification pattern:
- Container IDs are prefixed with ctnr_ (e.g.,
ctnr_uW38qdkBs813D9rFozGbUd
)
