We are delighted to present a release of the Route Planner API. Explore a prompt and extended API for creating, editing, reviewing, and managing your own shipping routes.

Each custom route option has a unique ID number for easy sharing with customers and accessing tracking via the Tracking System tool.

Moreover, we have improved the API with the ability to complete routing and add details for each location if needed automatically. Kindly check the API documentation in our Developer Portal.
