Ilves Tansport Booking API
Cargoson AutomationIlves Tansport doesn't provide a booking API. Cargoson automatically sends booking confirmations via email on your behalf, while you still use the same unified API interface.
Create Ilves Tansport shipments and retrieve shipping labels using the Queries endpoint. Bookings are send to the carrier's system in real-time and labels are generated immediately.
Query vs Direct Booking
The Queries endpoint supports two booking methods:
- Query mode - Create a transport request without specifying a carrier (yet). This allows you to manually compare carrier prices and delivery times, request new spot prices, make adjustments/updates to the shipment, and delegate carrier selection to others, before you make the final carrier selection in Cargoson.
- Direct booking - Specify a carrier service ID (from the Rate or Services API) to book directly with Ilves Tansport. This ensures your shipment uses the exact service you selected.
To book directly to Ilves Tansport, always define the direct_booking_service_id.
/queries
Create a shipment query or direct booking for Ilves Tansport. Include direct_booking_service_id to create an immediate booking.

Ilves Tansport Courier Requests
Cargoson AutomationCargoson automates courier pickup requests for Ilves Tansport shipments, which makes it one less task you will need to think about.
How Cargoson Handles Courier Requests
Many shipping carriers require you to create labels separately and then manually request courier pickup. Others do not have a separate label plus courier call system, and each shipment is a complete, separate shipment. We believe that there should be a single standard of carrier APIs, but currently, each carrier creates their own unique system, which makes it difficult for their users to remember each one's quirks and intricacies. Cargoson simplifies your courier calls by treating every shipment holistically: courier requests are automatically managed as part of the booking process.
Smart Pickup Optimization
Cargoson optimizes courier calls to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
- 1. Batch consolidation - Multiple shipments from the same location are grouped into a single pickup request
- 2. Carrier-specific handling - Some carriers include pickup in the booking, others require separate requests. Cargoson handles both variants automatically for you
- 3. Regular pickup schedules - Configure prescheduled pickups at specific intervals (e.g., daily to my main warehouse at 3 PM) and Cargoson will skip individual courier calls entirely
Benefits
- No need to track which carriers require separate courier requests
- Automatic optimization prevents unnecessary pickup calls
- Support for regular pickup schedules
- Simplified shipping workflow - just create the booking
Configuration
Courier pickup automation is enabled by default for all Ilves Tansport shipments. To configure regular pickup schedules or custom pickup optimization rules, contact [email protected].
Ilves Tansport Services API
Cargoson EngineThe Services API is a Cargoson-provided feature that returns a unified list of all available services from Ilves Tansport and other carriers in your network. This allows you to dynamically display shipping options to your customers without hardcoding service IDs.
Retrieve a list of available Ilves Tansport shipping services. Use service IDs when making direct bookings to ensure you get the exact service you want.
/services/list
Return list of Ilves Tansport services available on your company account.

Why use Cargoson API for Ilves Tansport integration

Cargoson offers a single unified RESTful API that supports Ilves Tansport and 2,000+ carriers across European and North American markets, with new integrations added weekly. We reduce development time from months to days, handle carrier updates automatically, and manage regional exceptions. With Cargoson, you focus on growing your business instead of managing carrier technical complexities.

Code examples in multiple languages

World's most advanced freight pricing engine
Cargoson's freight pricing API goes far beyond simple rate lookups. Our engine can read, analyze, and digitize any carrier pricelist regardless of format or structure, making it the most powerful freight rate management solution in the logistics industry.
Universal format support
Our freight pricing engine handles any format: structured Excel files, complex PDFs, free text, or even handwritten pricelists. Upload your carrier contracts in any format, and our freight rate engine will parse the pricing rules, surcharges, and conditions automatically.
Direct carrier API integration
For carriers with modern systems (typically global parcel carriers and tech-forward freight companies), we pull rates directly from their APIs in real-time. This ensures you always get the most current pricing without manual updates.
Public online prices
Don't have a contract with a carrier yet? No problem. Cargoson can pull public online prices from carriers, allowing you to compare options even before establishing formal agreements.
Spot rate requests
For complex shipments or special cases, request spot rates where carriers review your specific requirements and provide a custom quote. All managed through the same unified API.
