Get Credential Requirements
This API endpoint is used to retrieve a description of the format you must use when sending your credentials to connect a particular LTL carrier. Since different carriers have slightly different credential requirements, this endpoint is useful when connecting a new carrier. You may also review the list of supported LTL carriers, which includes the information needed to connect and disconnect each carrier.
SCAC and Carrier Codes
Each LTL carrier has one or more SCACs (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) used to uniquely identify that carrier.
These SCAC for a carrier is referred to as carrier_id
in ShipEngine API to streamline the terminology used across
different types of shipping carriers. To get the credential requirements for a particular carrier, you need to
pass its SCAC as the carrier_code
.
