MWB Rating API


The MWB Rating API is a web service rating engine that can be accessed via an http SOAP request. Simply send the requested quote of shipment data in an XML string format and it will send back the shipment charges. The API allows for discounts and can rate with all rate levels a carrier utilizes from Middlewest.

In operation, your calling program system sends a SOAP string of shipment data in XML format, consisting of ZIP Codes, weights, classes, discounts, etc. to the Accu-Link server, which instantly rates the shipment and returns back the shipment charges, where they can be used to produce a rate quote or a rated freight bill. The format of this data can be customized to provide easy integration into any vendor's program. By utilizing the MWB Rating API, you are eliminating the need to hire programmers to spend countless hours writing programs to access and rate the hundreds of tariffs already in the Middlewest data library that can be easily added as you need them.
