API FAQ

Does RC:Ship provide a REST API?

What can I do through the API?

You can programmatically retrieve rates across carriers, create shipments, generate labels, and track packages.

Can I integrate an OMS or ERP?

Carrier Network

Connect Your Entire Logistics Stack

One API. Dozens of carriers. Zero maintenance headaches.

Integrating a new shipping carrier usually means weeks of development, reading outdated API documentation, and testing edge cases. RC:Ship has already done the heavy lifting, providing a unified gateway to India's top logistics providers.

The Unified Carrier API

We've normalized the data structures for rating, labeling, and tracking across all our supported carriers. This means generating a label for Blue Dart requires the exact same API payload as generating a label for Amazon Shipping.

Adding a new carrier to your network should be a business decision, not an engineering bottleneck.

Simply enter your carrier credentials in the RC:Ship dashboard, and the new provider is instantly available in your routing rules and API requests.

Bring Your Own Rates

We do not resell postage or mark up rates. You connect your direct, negotiated accounts. This ensures you maintain your volume discounts and direct relationships with your carrier account managers.

Integration Benefits

Plug and Play
Connect new carriers instantly via the dashboard.
Normalized Tracking
Consistent tracking statuses regardless of the underlying carrier.
Automatic Updates
We handle all carrier API changes and deprecations behind the scenes.

Use your own credentials to access negotiated rates.
