- PROFILE TYPE
- The PUBLIC CUSTOMER Profile, for those who doesn’t have RPX Account yet.
Only one API with SEND method (API for ordering pickup request) is available. The rest are various APIs for GET method purposes.
Only PUBLIC Rates is available when you run getRATES to get RPX rates. - The RPX ACCOUNT CUSTOMER Profile, for those whose already had an RPX Account (and already save it to their Profile).
You can run getRATES to get your own customised Rates. Some RPX Customers have their own rates matrix (approved by RPX Pricing) that is not equal with RPX Public rates.
You can run getPOD to get your shipments delivery summary (Delivered and On Going) within a Periodic Time.
All API for PUBLIC CUSTOMER is also available for RPX ACCOUNT profile.
More customised APIs can also be created to support data exchange between RPX and RPX Customer who already had RPX account no.
So you have managed to get your Account activated. But what API services are available for your profile type?
There are two type of profile :
- MANAGING PROFILE
- Make sure that there is SOAP client available on your programming language.
- You need to register the IP Address(es) of your Webservice(s), so that your IP Address(es) will be recognised as part of whitelisted IP Address(es) (allowed by RPX firewall). In Your Profile, register you IP address in Server IPs section (use comma separated if you have multiple IP address).
- Vice versa, you might have to whitelisted some RPX’s Public IP Address we use for this API’s process. For RPX’s Public IP address, please contact RPX IT Dept.
- If your webservices doesn’t use dedicated IP Address and your web hosting provider are using dynamic IP, your API’s might get blocked by RPX Firewall. So it is much better to have a dedicated IP address for your Webservices and whitelisted in RPX Firewall.
