Central Website for tracking container of different shipping line

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement where I have to integrate ECC with a central application/website which tracks the container of

different shipping line with their customised API ( Application Program Interface).

I have found several websites like http://www.track-trace.com/ which is a central site but when we search it navigates

to the source website i.e. for each container it displays HTML page of different shipping line.

Kinldy suggest if any one has encountered any such requirement where they expose their interface through web service.

I imagine since the Api is from a website it is web services or Rest.

Try creating a transaction that consumes the api and returns shipping status of a tracking number or whatever you use to track the shipment.

If the Api returns HTML then it's not a very good api but you do with what you got, try using the Html reader or html scrapper actions in Mii.

That way when you get the tracking numbers from Ecc you can just call this transaction and get the status and display it to wherever the information is needed.
