Get started

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

The Origin Schedule 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/{originId}/schedule/entry`

🔐
Authentication for API calls
In the cURL examples 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.

Request fields for API calls

The following tables provide the required and optional fields for calling the Origin Schedule Configuration API. Path elements are described for each use case in the sections that follow.

Required request fields

Request field	Details
`carrierSchedules.carrierId`	Type: String Description: Internal carrier account ID as represented in Shipium; see Supported Carriers for carrier IDs.
`carrierSchedules.cutoffExceptions.date`	Type: String Example: `2022-12-24` Description: The date with the changed cutoff time
`carrierSchedules.cutoffTimes.cutoff`	Type: String Description: The final time when a shipment for a carrier or shipment method departs for the specified day
`carrierSchedules.cutoffTimes.dayOfWeek`	Type: String (enumeration) Values: `Monday`, `Tuesday`, `Wednesday`, `Thursday`, `Friday`, `Saturday`, `Sunday` Description: The day of the week to which this cutoff applies
`from`	Type: String Description: Date of the starting boundary of the active schedule
`holidays.date`	Type: String Example: `2020-07-04` Description: The date of the holiday
`processingCutoff.expectedDaysToShip`	Type: Integer (int32) Description: The number of days that are needed for a fulfillment center to process a shipment
`processingCutoff.shippingCutoffHour`	Type: Integer (int32) Values: Minimum `0`, maximum `23` Description: The hour where requests will need an additional day for processing
`processingCutoff.weekendCutoffHour`	Type: Integer (int32) Values: Minimum `0`, maximum `23` Description: When present, overrides the hour where requests will need an additional day for processing for weekend days
`shippingDays`	Type: String (enumeration) Values: `Monday`, `Tuesday`, `Wednesday`, `Thursday`, `Friday`, `Saturday`, `Sunday` Description: List of days on which to ship
`to`	Type: String Description: Date of the end boundary of the active schedule

Optional request fields

Request field	Details
`carrierSchedules.carrierScheduleId`	Type: String Description: Identifier used to refer to a specific carrier schedule; if you do not provide this value, a unique ID will be generated. Uniqueness is guaranteed; if two IDs collide, one of them will be updated to a unique ID.
`carrierSchedules.carrierServiceMethodIds`	Type: String Description: The set of carrier service methods that should use this schedule; each item in this list must map to an internal Shipium ID that represents a carrier service method. If this is `null` or empty, all of this carrier's shipment methods without a schedule will use this schedule. See Supported Carriers for carrier service method IDs.
`carrierSchedules.cutoffExceptions.cutoff`	Type: String Description: Specifies dates when either no service is available or a different cutoff should be used instead of the one specified in cutoff times
`holidays.metadata.additionalProp1`	Type: String Description: A map of properties to save along with this date
