A comprehensive workflow for setting up CI/CD pipelines for Flexport logistics integrations. This tool automates unit testing with mocked data, and executes live API contract validation against the Flexport sandbox upon merging to the main branch. It ensures data transforms and API compatibility across shipment lifecycle events, covering core logistics functions like booking, tracking, and customs documentation.

This comprehensive guide serves as a quick reference for diagnosing and fixing common Flexport API v2 errors. It covers standard HTTP status codes (e.g., 401, 403, 422, 429, 5xx), detailing the causes and providing actionable fixes, including cURL examples and validation best practices. Essential for developers integrating supply chain solutions with Flexport.

This skill provides instructions for deploying Flexport logistics integrations across various cloud platforms, including Vercel, Fly.io, and Google Cloud Run. It is essential for setting up reliable, always-on webhook receivers, shipment tracking dashboards, and background workers necessary for comprehensive supply chain automation services in a production environment.

This guide provides a minimal working example for integrating with the Flexport REST API v2. It demonstrates core logistics operations, including listing shipments, retrieving detailed shipment milestones, and listing associated containers. It is ideal for developers starting a new Flexport integration, testing API connectivity, or learning the basic API patterns.

This detailed guide outlines how to configure the Flexport API for isolated development, staging, and production environments. It enforces best practices for data separation using distinct API keys, webhook secrets, and implements critical safety guards to prevent accidental data access or modification across environments.

A comprehensive checklist for pre-deployment and go-live procedures for Flexport logistics integrations. This guide covers critical areas such as API authentication setup, robust webhook handling (including idempotency and dead-letter queuing), data integrity validation, continuous monitoring setup, and safe rollback strategies when deploying to a production environment.

A comprehensive guide for developers migrating between different versions of the Flexport API, specifically detailing changes from v1 to v2. It covers breaking changes in request headers, response parsing (e.g., _object to data), pagination formats, and error structures, ensuring smooth integration updates.

Implements robust webhook event handling for Flexport, enabling real-time tracking and processing of critical logistics updates. It manages shipment milestones (e.g., departed, arrived, delivered), booking confirmations, PO changes, and invoice events. Includes signature verification (HMAC-SHA256) and idempotent processing to ensure reliable supply chain data integration.

This workflow manages critical logistics documentation via the Flexport API, including creating commercial invoices for customs clearance, maintaining detailed product catalogs (SKUs, HS codes, costs), and retrieving freight invoices. It is essential for integrating customs documentation, product data management, and billing reconciliation into your supply chain systems.

This guide details strategies to significantly reduce operational costs associated with the Flexport API. It emphasizes replacing inefficient polling mechanisms with webhook-driven updates, implementing smart caching with Time-To-Live (TTL), maximizing pagination size, and setting up robust usage monitoring. Mastering these techniques ensures cost efficiency and scalability for logistics system integrations.

This utility collects comprehensive diagnostic evidence for troubleshooting Flexport API integration issues. It automatically captures API connectivity tests, authentication status, recent error logs, and platform status, packaging them into a secure, redacted bundle ready for support tickets. Ideal for developers encountering persistent API failures.

This guide details how to implement robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Flexport API integrations. It addresses enterprise needs by allocating scoped API keys and managing permissions at an application layer. Users can define specific roles (Viewer, Operator, Finance, Admin) with granular permissions, ensuring that different user roles can only access necessary endpoints, thereby enhancing security and supporting multi-tenant architectures.
