Design

The Packing Optimizer API is stateless. Each request is individual and all packing information must be provided in every request. Our API has predictable and standardized request and response formats, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

Unit of Measurements

All numeric input fields are unitless. This means that fields like length or weight do not have any units attached. This design allows the API to accommodate both metric and imperial measurements without added complexity. The choice of measurement unit is left up to you.

Handling Errors

Most errors encountered by the API are related to invalid parameter input. We use standard HTTP status codes and return descriptive error responses in a fixed format. See the Exceptions documentation for more information.
