Create a Hosted Session

POST /hosted_sessions

Create a hosted session resource to generate an Arta Booking url.

This endpoint expects one of two versions of the hosted_session schema:

  • You may send a hosted_session object with a subset of the fields required for generating quote requests via the Arta API. With this schema, you must minimally include valid objects and origin details in your API call. Additionally, you may provide a success_url and a cancel_url to determine where Arta will redirect the user after the session is complete

  • Alternatively, you may share an existing Quote Request by sending a hosted_session object with the corresponding request's request_id. This will create an Arta Booking session for the request

Use the private url in the successful hosted session response to direct your users to the Arta Booking web page so that they may configure and book their own shipment.
