Building requests for the Freight API
Before you can start using the API, you will need to obtain the authentication token.
The following headers will be required, where the word token must be replaced by the token obtained in the authentication process:
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer token'
In body all the parameters for calculating the minimum freight for the route will be sent.
The Freight API can be used in 3 different ways:
Independent endpoint
Recommended for users who use third-party routing services.
Trip API + Freight API
The Freight API can be used in conjunction with the Trip API, both synchronously and asynchronously. The information needed to calculate the freight will be added in the request to the Trip API
- https://api.maplink.global/trip/v2/calculations – POST
Synchronous Trip - https://api.maplink.global/trip/v1/problems – POST
Asynchronous Trip
Toll for Maps API + Freight API
Recommended for users who use Google’s Directions API. The Freight API can be used integrated with the Toll for Maps API, so the freight calculation will be returned with the toll calculation.
- https://api.maplink.global/toll/v1/directions?vehicleType={{vehicleType}} – POST
The term{{vehicleType}}must be replaced by the desired vehicle type.
