Shippit Orders API

  title: Shippit Book Orders API
  description: 'The Shippit API (v3) is the REST interface to Shippit''s Australian multi-carrier shipping and fulfillment platform. Merchants use it to request live carrier quotes, create and cancel orders, book consignments with carriers, retrieve shipping labels and pick slips, and track parcels via pull requests or push webhooks.


    Base URLs are `https://app.shippit.com/api/3` (production) and `https://app.staging.shippit.com/api/3` (staging sandbox). Every request is authenticated with a per-merchant API key passed as an HTTP Bearer token in the `Authorization` header.


    NOTE ON FIDELITY: The base URLs, Bearer authentication, and the pull-based tracking path (`GET /orders/{tracking_number}/tracking`) are grounded in Shippit''s published developer documentation. The remaining request and response schemas below are MODELED from Shippit''s endpoint descriptions and order-flow guide, not copied field-for-field from an official machine-readable spec. Treat property-level detail as illustrative and reconcile against the live Developer Centre before generating client code.'

  x-fidelity: Base URLs, Bearer auth, and the tracking path are confirmed from docs; other request/response schemas are modeled and should be reconciled.
