Terminal Operator Integration Specifications

While all parties involved in the container import flow will be prompted to give release information, only two parties are considered to be “data providers”. These entities, being Shipping Agents and Terminal Operators, need to give their approval before a container can be picked up.

To participate in CPu as a Terminal Operator, you will need to follow the steps described below:

  • register and subscribe to Certified Pick up. You can find more information on this in the Getting Started with the API integration guide

  • Testing must be performed on User Acceptance Environment before moving to production

CPu requires you to provide the following actions / functions / transactions:

  • Discharge of a container

  • Gate in and Gate Out movements of the containers

  • Terminal Release confirmation

Please note that with CPu, the final responsibility to let a container leave the terminal will remain with the Terminal Operator.

The Terminal Operator can always overrule CPu and decide to release a blocked container.

This document describes how stakeholders of type Terminal Operator should integrate the CPu process within their applications.

Setting up your endpoint connection

To ensure our high security standards at NxtPort, we do not allow any anonymous API connection and we require of course a minimum set of security measures to be applied on any API connection. To that end, you will need to follow the steps below to set up the secure API connection with NxtPort.

You need to have completed the steps described on Getting Started with the API integration in order to proceed.

Asynchronous processing in CPu

To correctly integrate the set of API comprehended in the CPu application, it is important to be aware of the fact that CPu mainly works in an asynchronous fashion.

This means that you when making an API call, you will not get the result to your request in the response to your API call, but NxtPort will process your request and then send you a notification through the endpoint you have configured in the Getting Started process. To that end we advise you to pay quite close attention to the use of the Public Reference Id. This is the GUID you receive in the response of your API call.

This will allow you to keep track of the notifications in line with the request calls you have made.

When a API call returns a synchronous response, it is clearly marked in this guide.

Integration API calls

It is your responsibility to inform NxtPort in advance about which message type you’re using, as it requires a different setup on our end. You should have provided us this info during your onboarding as described on the Getting started with the API integration guide.

General remarks

Distinct request body fields

For different actions (submit, update, revoke etc.) you need to provide different actionType values in the request body. These different fields are highlighted under distinct request body fields in the descriptions to help you use the correct ones.

URL’s provided are PRD

The request URL’s provided are for the PRD environment. For the UAT environment, replace api.nxtport.com with api-uat.nxtport.com . Important: both your API key and the your_ingestion_id path variable are environment specific, so these also need to be changed if you call our UAT environment.

Submit Terminal Release

Releases the container from the terminal yard, indicating that the container is ready to be picked up.

  • Towards the Release Right owner

To get the current state of a container, please refer to to the Get Release Detail section of this document.

Block Terminal Release

For as long as the container is not yet picked up, the terminal is able to block the container on the terminal. The container will still be present in the CPu backbone, but it will not be possible to pickup the container.

Will set the Terminal Release Light to RED.

At any time, stakeholders that are allowed to see the information, can verify if an identification code (eg alfapass number) is allowed to pick-up a container. In this method, the requested information is returned in a synchronous response.

Using this call, you as a Terminal Operator can verify the status of any container and check if it can be picked up.

This is the response you will receive when a container can not be picked up since the Alfapass is incorrect and/or since at least 1 Greenlight is RED.

Check the releaseIdentification.greenLights array to see which Light is still blocking.

This array contains the status of all Green Lights. See CPu variables overview | Green Light table for an overview of all possible statuses, their name, value & color and explanation.

Possible errorMessages

null when one of the Green Lights is “red”, this can be a reason for the pickup to be invalid

"Alfapass validation error: Pickup not allowed" when the container can’t be picked up with the provided Alfapass

"Alfapass validation error: No release right found" when there’s no release right in CPu for the provided releaseIdentification identifier(s)

"Pickup validation error: Could not find carrier for <NxtEntityId>" No carrier known in CPu with previously mentioned identifier

This API call allows you to retrieve notifications sent to your company.

Notifications can be retrieved up to 168 hours in the past from the time of your request (e.g. on 08 April at 13h00 you can retrieve all notifications dating from 01 April 13h00 onwards).

  • This endpoint is the unique reference to the final release decision

The timeWindowFrom and timeWindowTo query parameters will be available starting from version 3.11.0 of the API.

GET https://api.nxtport.com/certified-pickup/v1/notifications

Request Headers

  • External-Reference-Id (optional): your own reference

  • Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: your API key

  • Authorization : authorization header (Bearer token)

  • DeclinedByNextParty

  • RevokedByPreviousParty

  • ReleaseLightChanged

  • Update

  • GateOut

  • equipmentNumber: self-explanatory

  • publicReferenceId: GUID you received in the synchronous response

  • releaseId: ID (GUID) of the Release Right, returned in the notifications

  • storedOn: ISO timestamp of creation date/time of the notification

  • timeWindowFrom (optional): The starting time of the window for filtering notifications. Expects a time in ISO format (“07:30”).
