API

The Bookings API consists of several components / API endpoints relevant for this service. Customers are able to query available booking offers for a specific product (combination of POL, POD, commodity, equipment type, etc.). By providing an agreement number, the customer can also send a booking request. The booking request will be directly forwarded to the HSDG booking system.
