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.

A comprehensive runbook for responding to critical incidents involving Flexport API integrations. It covers various failure scenarios, including complete API outages, webhook delivery loss, and complex supply chain data synchronization issues. The guide provides severity classification (P1-P4), diagnostic commands, and step-by-step playbooks for rapid triage and mitigation.

This guide details how to install and configure authentication methods for the Flexport API. It covers both static API Keys (bearer tokens) and dynamic OAuth credentials (Client ID/Secret) to secure connections for logistics and supply chain operations. Use this when integrating a new application to read, write, or manage shipment data.

This guide establishes a fast, reproducible local development workflow for integrating with Flexport logistics. Since an official SDK is unavailable, it utilizes a typed HTTP client wrapper combined with mock responses. This setup allows developers to quickly set up, test, and iterate on shipment data handling, ensuring robust development cycles without relying on live API access.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured roadmap for migrating logistics operations from legacy sources (e.g., spreadsheets, old APIs, ERPs) to the modern Flexport API. It details advanced architectural patterns such as the Strangler Fig pattern, product catalog migration, dual-write implementation, and phased cutover strategies, ensuring a smooth and reliable transition for complex supply chain digitization.

This skill provides a comprehensive observability stack for Flexport logistics integrations. It sets up Prometheus metrics for API health tracking, uses structured logging (pino) for debugging, implements OpenTelemetry tracing for latency analysis, and defines actionable Grafana dashboards and alert rules. This ensures reliable, performant, and fully monitored logistics operations.

A guide to optimizing API interactions with Flexport for logistics data. This skill implements advanced techniques including maximizing page sizes for bulk fetching, implementing LRU caching for frequently accessed data (e.g., product details), managing rate limits using parallel request queues (p-queue), and utilizing webhook-driven cache invalidation to ensure data freshness and high throughput.

This module provides robust patterns for managing rate limits and throttling when integrating with external APIs (e.g., Flexport). It covers three key strategies: monitoring rate limit headers (X-RateLimit-*), implementing exponential backoff with jitter for transient 429 or 5xx errors, and utilizing queue-based throttling for safe, controlled bulk operations. It ensures resilient and reliable API communication.

A comprehensive reference architecture for building robust and scalable supply chain integrations with Flexport's logistics API. It outlines a structured pipeline using Ingest (webhooks/polling), Core (business logic services), and Expose (REST API/Dashboard layers), ensuring reliable data flow, caching, and queueing best practices.

This guide provides production-ready patterns for interacting with the Flexport REST API v2 in TypeScript and Python. It teaches crucial best practices, including implementing a singleton client for state management, handling paginated data streams, automatic retry logic, and using Zod for robust response validation, ensuring reliable logistics integrations.

This guide provides comprehensive security standards for integrating with the Flexport API. It covers critical best practices such as webhook signature verification, secure API key rotation, implementing least-privilege access controls, and data redaction for handling sensitive logistics and customs data. Essential for maintaining compliance and preventing data breaches in supply chain operations.
