  title: Shippeo Real-Time Transportation Visibility Positions API
  description: 'Shippeo is a real-time transportation and multimodal supply-chain visibility platform. Its public developer surface - documented in the login-gated Shippeo Developer Portal at developers.shippeo.com (a Redoc/Swagger-based portal) - lets carriers, shippers, TMS/ERP systems, and control towers submit transport orders (tours) for tracking, feed GPS positions, retrieve predictive ETAs, statuses, and milestone events, and subscribe to real-time "Events-out" notifications via webhooks. Carbon emissions data for tracked shipments is also delivered through the Events-out API for enterprise customers.

    ACCESS MODEL: Shippeo is enterprise, customer-provisioned SaaS. API access requires a contracted Shippeo account; applications and client IDs are created in the developer portal and calls are authenticated with an OAuth2 (client-credentials) access token presented as an HTTP Bearer token.

    GROUNDING NOTE: The live API host `https://api.shippeo.com` is confirmed (its `/health` endpoint responds `{"http-server":{"healthy":true}}`), as are OAuth2 Bearer authentication, webhook delivery, and the Events-out product. The individual operation PATHS and REQUEST/RESPONSE SCHEMAS below are MODELED from Shippeo''s public product/marketing documentation because the exact Swagger definitions are behind the portal login; they illustrate the documented capabilities and are not byte-for-byte copies of Shippeo''s private specs. Treat paths as representative, not verified.'
