"Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a message specification for exchanging information between systems and applications. When it comes to application programming interfaces (APIs), a SOAP API is developed in a more structured and formalized way. Think of SOAP as being like the national postal service: It provides a reliable and trusted way to send and receive messages between systems (and within enterprise applications)." - https://blog.postman.com/soap-api-definition/
Truckstop's SOAP APIs allow you to seamlessly integrate different functionality into your application and provide your users with direct access to Truckstop's data. The following APIs are available via SOAP:
- Load Search - Search for loads on the Truckstop load board based on various search criteria
- Truck Posting/Management - Post trucks to Truckstop for discovery via Truck Search
- Truck Search - Find freight capacity that meets certain criteria
Authentication
Each SOAP API requires an account with a valid user name, password, and integration ID that has the appropriate web service enabled for that API.
