The negotiation considers: 1. The `Accept-Language` request header (if provided) 2. The team's configured default language 3. English as the ultimate fallback The resolved language is used for all translatable strings in the response. ## Idempotency Write operations support **idempotency keys** so you can safely retry a request after a network error, timeout, or uncertain outcome without risking a duplicate side effect such as booking the same shipment twice. Idempotency is opt-in: include an `Idempotency-Key` header on a write request (`POST` or `DELETE`) to enable it. Requests sent without the header are not deduplicated. The key is a client-generated string of 16–128 characters (letters, digits, `.`, `_`, `-`) and is compared as-is, so it is case-sensitive. When a key is reused with an identical payload within 24 hours, the API returns the original response (status code and body) without re-executing the operation and sets the `Idempotency-Replayed: true` response header. Reusing a key with a different payload returns `422 Unprocessable Entity`. If the original request is still being processed, the retry returns `409 Conflict` with a `Retry-After` header indicating when to try again. Keys are scoped per client and expire automatically after the 24-hour window. See the [idempotency guide](https://docs.smartsend.io/api-reference/idempotency) for requirements and examples. ## User-Agent We recommend including a descriptive `User-Agent` header with every request, following the `Product/Version (Comments)` pattern from [RFC 7231](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-5.5.3). A good User-Agent helps us identify your integration and speeds up debugging when you contact support. Example: `smart-send-logistics/8.1.0 (WooCommerce/8.5.0; WordPress/6.4.2; PHP/8.1)` ## Request-ID We recommend including a unique `Request-ID` header with every request. The value is echoed back in the response and included in internal logs, making it possible to correlate logs from your implementation with logs in Smart Send. This is especially useful when contacting support about a specific request. version: 2.0.0-beta contact: name: Smart Send url: https://www.smartsend.io servers: - url: https://app.smartsend.io/api/v2 description: Production security: - bearerAuth: [] - oauth2: [] tags: - name: Teams description: Teams available to the authenticated user - name: Service Points description: Pickup points and delivery locations - name: Routing description: Reference data (carriers, services, addons) and route availability - name: Rates description: Shipping rates and pricing for specific shipments - name: Tracking description: Shipment tracking information and event history - name: Shipments description: Create and manage shipments - name: Booking description: Booking of shipments externalDocs: description: Booking documentation url: https://docs.smartsend.io/features/booking - name: Booking batches description: |- Batch operations for booking multiple shipments asynchronously.
