Create a Quote Request
The first step to booking a shipment on Arta is to create a Quote Request. This quote request provides Arta with all the necessary transport details for us to price your eventual shipment.
Arta will return eligible quotes for your shipment across Arta's Premium, Selecct, and Parcel quote types. If any quote types are ineligible given your logistic details, those will be noted in the disqualifications
response.
You must minimally include objects
, origin
, and destination
details in your API call for Arta to successfully price the transport.
Headers
-
Arta-Quote-Timeout integer
Optionally set a timeout boundary in milliseconds for creating quote requests.
While Arta takes great care to return quotes quickly, several external services consumed during the process of creating quotes have varying response times. The
Arta-Quote-Timeout
header is particularly useful if your integration requires requests to return within a given time frame. When the timeout is reached, the Arta API will stop any tasks in progress and return the quotes that have already been completed. If building quotes for a particular quote type is incomplete at timeout, the API will return a disqualification message for that quote type with aclient_timeout_reached
reason_code
