API for Store deliveries

Creating a delivery

To create a delivery, you will need to make a POST request to the /api/deliveries endpoint. A delivery consists of two tasks, a pickup task and a dropoff task. The minimal information we need is the address, and the timeframe of each task.

POST /api/deliveries
{
  "pickup": {
    "address": "24, Rue de la Paix, Paris, France",
    "before": "tomorrow 12:00"
  },
  "dropoff": {
    "address": "48, Rue de Rivoli, Paris, France",
    "before": "tomorrow 13:30"
  }
}

If possible, you should provide as much additional information as possible, like the phone number & name of the recipient. There are multiple fields that can be specified. Take a look at our functional tests to learn more about available fields.

Tracking the status of a delivery

When the delivery has been created, you obtain a response like below:

{
  "@context":"/api/contexts/Delivery",
  "@type":"http://schema.org/ParcelDelivery",
  "@id":"/api/deliveries/123",
  "pickup": {
    "@id":"/api/tasks/456",
    "@type":"Task",
    "status":"TODO",
    // ... other fields
  },
  "dropoff": {
    "@id":"/api/tasks/457",
    "@type":"Task",
    "status":"TODO",
    // ... other fields
  }
}

To be able to track the status of the parcel, make sure to store in your system the IRIs of the created resources. Then, you can later poll the API to know if the tasks have been completed.

GET /api/tasks/456
{
  "@id":"/api/tasks/456",
  "@type":"Task",
  "status":"DONE",
  // ... other fields
}

When a task is completed, the status property will change from TODO to DONE. When both tasks are completed, it means the delivery is completed!
