Get started

To use the Origin Configuration API, you can follow the instructions on this page. More information about the Origin Configuration API can be found in Configuration APIs. In addition, if you prefer to configure your origins via the Shipium Console, you can find guidance for doing so in the Origins documentation.

❗
Warning: potential negative impact on your fulfillment operations
This API can modify elements of your organization's network fulfillment configuration in ways that could negatively impact the production of your fulfillment operations. You should only use the API if you are familiar with how any changes you make could affect your network fulfillment configuration.

Configure origins with the Origin Configuration API

The Origin Configuration API assumes you're using one of the authentication mechanisms detailed in our authentication documentation. The general endpoint for Origin Configuration calls is included in the table below.

API type	API endpoint
POST	`https://api.shipium.com/api/v1/partnerConfiguration/origins`

🔐
Authentication for API Calls
In the cURL example on this page, the environment variable AUTHSTRING is used to handle authorization. The recipe below shows how to set it correctly for both API Key and OAuth users.
