An Application Programming Interface (API) bridges data exchange and functional integration between different systems. In international logistics, APIs are widely used, providing instant access to air or ocean freight quotes, shipment tracking status, customs clearance progress, and even automated waybill and report generation. For cross-border e-commerce platforms, APIs can significantly reduce manual operations, improve order processing speed and accuracy, and enhance the customer experience. Through API integration, businesses can seamlessly connect logistics services with internal systems (such as ERP, CRM, or e-commerce platforms) to achieve highly automated supply chain management. This not only reduces operating costs but also increases logistics transparency and flexibility. As digital trade continues to evolve, APIs have become an indispensable technological tool in international transportation, customs clearance, and payment processes.
