Background
We have developed a Booking API Spreadsheet that allows Shipping Lines to send Full and Empty bookings to Ports of Auckland. This has been primarily designed for Shipping Lines who don’t send EDI bookings for empty containers or who don’t send EDI bookings at all.
...
Providing bookings to PortConnect allows us to populate this information into the Pre-Advice screen which ensures that the correct information is pre-advised and reduces the amount of data that your customers need to enter. This spreadsheet has three functions; Retrieve, Submit & Cancel.
Getting Started
In order to use the PortConnect API, you need to sign up as a user via our developer portal, which is located at https://developer.portconnect.io. Signing up is free of charge.
...
Only one subscription per Shipping Line is enabled. Please contact info@portconnect.co.nz to check if your company already has an API user or get set-up.
Please read the Terms of Use in the PortConnect API User Agreement: https://www.portconnect.co.nz/content/docs/PortConnectAPI-EULA-2019-04.pdf
Booking API Spreadsheet
PortConnect will generate a subscription key for you to use with the spreadsheet. When you receive confirmation from us that your subscription key has been activated, please contact User Support at info@portconnect.co.nz to request the Booking API Spreadsheet.
...
Cancel macro allows you to cancel your bookings in PortConnect.
