uShip

aid: uship
name: uShip
description: uShip is an online shipping marketplace, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that connects individuals
  and businesses with a network of professional transport service providers to move large, heavy, and oversized freight —
  cars and light trucks, motorcycles and powersports, boats, furniture and household goods, heavy equipment, livestock, and
  LTL freight. Shippers list a shipment for free and carriers compete with bids or bookable published rates, giving shippers
  pricing transparency and choice. uShip exposes the marketplace to partners, affiliates, brokers, carriers, and eCommerce
  platforms through the uShip API (v2), a RESTful, hypermedia-driven JSON API secured with OAuth 2.0 covering shipment search,
  listing creation by commodity category, bidding, published/LTL rate requests and rate acceptance, booking, tracking and
  transit statuses, lookups, and integrator user management. API access is partner-gated — the developer portal at developer.uship.com
  is invitation-only and access is granted by the uShip API team.

  description: 'The core uShip marketplace API — a RESTful, hypermedia-driven JSON API over the shipment lifecycle: searching
    active listings, creating and retrieving listings by commodity category, bids and bid acceptance, booking, contacts and
    conversations, feedback, payment codes, listing and transit statuses, tracking history, user profile, and lookup collections
    (commodities, address types, regions, currencies, service types, trailer types, vehicle year/make/model). Secured with
    OAuth 2.0; responses carry a links[] hypermedia array with rel/verb/href/title so clients discover permitted next actions
    instead of hard-coding URIs.'

  description: Bookable, algorithmically priced rates published by service providers in response to shipping-customer rate
    requests, as an alternative to the auction/bidding flow. Covers the shipping-customer side (create a rate request, create

    rate, booking acceptance notification), including the HTTP callback notifications uShip POSTs to a provider's recipient
    URL.
