API Usage & Pricing
Shipsgo uses a credit-based pricing model for API usage. Each tracking request consumes credits based on the action performed.
How credits are used
- 1 credit is consumed when a new shipment tracking is created via API
- Tracking requests using Container, MBL, or AWB numbers all consume 1 credit
What does NOT consume credits
- Retrieving shipment details via GET requests
- Receiving updates via webhooks
- Viewing shipments on the dashboard
- Receiving email notifications
Important notes
- Credits are consumed only once per tracking creation
- Repeated GET calls do not consume additional credits
- Credits are shared across ocean and air shipments
