Shipwell Orders API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Shipwell v2 Core API
  description: >-
    Partial, honestly-modeled OpenAPI description of the Shipwell transportation
    management system (TMS) API. Shipwell is an AI-powered freight execution
    platform; its public documentation and full API reference live at
    https://docs.shipwell.com/ but the complete platform and API are enterprise
    and contract-gated, so exact request and response schemas are best confirmed
    against the live reference and an authenticated account.


    Endpoints marked "confirmed" below appear directly in Shipwell's public docs
    (shipment create/list/get, shipment notes, carrier assignments, tenders, and
    the events list). Endpoints marked "modeled" are honestly inferred from the
    documented resource groups (quoting, spot-negotiations, carrier-bids,
    carriers, carrier-relationships, orders, purchase-orders, webhooks) and are
    included to represent the shape of each logical API - verify them before use.


    Base URLs. Most of the v2 Core API is served under
    https://api.shipwell.com/v2 with a fully separate sandbox at
    https://sandbox-api.shipwell.com/v2. The newer Orders API is served under the
    host root without the /v2 prefix (for example https://api.shipwell.com/orders).
    Requests are authenticated with company-scoped API keys passed in the
    Authorization header (the docs call this the AuthToken scheme). Production and
    sandbox use separate keys, and objects created in one environment cannot be
    manipulated from the other.
