Data user

Possible users of this service are customs brokers/agents, forwarders and importers.

To use this access-controlled API:

• Register on the NxtPort platform (if you have not already done so).
• As your entity admin, subscribe to the API by clicking the subscribe button on this page and select the corresponding plan.
• Request data sharing offers from the Data Providers in the NxtPort Console.
• Selected shipping agents receive a notification and need to individually approve your request.
• Send the technical documentation to your internal or external software supplier.

Data providers

As a shipping agent you can participate to the NxtPort use case by providing your CUSCAR messages. Doing so enables your customers and subcontractors to look up the consignment info and reuse it digitally. This can be a commercial advantage, and could save you time answering questions about your CUSCAR content.

To start sharing your CUSCAR messages, contact NxtPort. We make it easy for you to get your data on the platform and start sharing it through the API.

You always keep full ownership of your data and stay in control of who gets access, through the NxtPort Console. We provide a full audit trail of who used your data, and when.

Developer

This API is an access-controlled API. This means that your application needs to accommodate an OAuth2 authentication flow between the application user and the NxtPort platform.

The application user logs in to the NxtPort identity component, and your application requests access to the API on behalf of the application user. The NxtPort platform then returns an access token to your application, which can be used to call the API.

To be able to request an access token, your application needs to be registered in the NxtPort platform. Registering an application is currently a manual process, so please contact NxtPort for this. Go to our support desk where you will find all required information on how to get started.
