Carrier API services

The following services are included in the The Delivery Group carrier integration:

SubmitItemAPI: This is used to pre-advise the Delivery Group of shipments. In this case, we will request The Delivery Group to send the label in the SubmitItemAdvice response, which returns the shipment tracking number and label, therefore there is no need to call the GetLabel API to retrieve the label.
TrackingAPI: The Delivery Group’s tracking API uses the same credentials as the SubmitItemAdvice API. Therefore, the username and password set on the shipping account linked to the tracking account is used to authorise requests to the Tracking API.
