📄 Shipment API v2.1 Certificate release
9 days ago by Marine GONZALEZ
📅 October 2025
While most of the team’s efforts this cycle were focused on app developments — preparing its upcoming redesign and our latest EU ETS feature (still under wraps) — one important feature has been released publicly on the API side: the integration of certificates in Shipment API v2.1.
📚 Overview
🌱 Carbon Emissions APIs
✨ New features in /shipment/v2/report/co2
/shipment/v2/report/co2🆕 Shipment API v2.1 – Certificate generation
The generateCertificate=true parameter is now available again in v2.1 requests.
It produces a GHG Certificate PDF summarizing emissions per shipment, aligned with the new v2.1 contract.
Main updates:
- The certificate now uses the new
transportChainElementsstructure, displaying both legs and hubs. - The footer message has been updated to reflect ISO 14083:2023 compliance.
- Field mapping aligned with the v2.1 payload structure (
id,referenceNumber,status,carrier.nameorcarrier.scac).
Notes
- Reuses the trusted v2.0 layout – no redesign or new data fields.
- Remains shipment-level only (not intended for aggregated reporting).
