How do I get a Sendle tracking URL from a tracking number?

Send the tracking number to ShipShim's API (POST /api/v1/track) and it returns the direct Sendle tracking link, the detected carrier, and a confidence score. For the example number S88888 the tracking URL is https://track.sendle.com/tracking?ref=S88888.

What if my number matches more than one carrier?

ShipShim returns a ranked list of every matching carrier with confidence scores, and you can lock the result by passing the carrier name or a country hint.

Sendle tracking URL from a tracking number

Q: What does a Sendle tracking number look like?

Sendle tracking numbers follow this format: S prefix + alphanumeric (6-10 chars). Example: S88888.

Sendle (AU) tracking numbers follow this format: S prefix + alphanumeric (6-10 chars). ShipShim detects the carrier from the number and returns the direct tracking link.

Example: number in, tracking URL out

Example tracking number	`S88888`
Tracking URL	https://track.sendle.com/tracking?ref=S88888

This format is distinctive, so ShipShim identifies Sendle from the bare number — no hints needed.
