View Full Docs
How is API usage billed?
Credits are deducted per successful response (API field: credit). Ocean FCL/LCL 1 credits/call; air 2 credits/call; FBA 2 credits/call; express 3 credits/call. No charge on HTTP 5xx server errors or signature failures. Remaining credits per plan are available in real time on the console.
Do the reference data endpoints (port / airport codes) cost credits?
Not within your daily free quota. Reference data is a companion to rate queries — you have to resolve a port into a code before you can price anything — so we don't charge per call. The free quota grows with your plan and normal usage never hits the ceiling; beyond it, calls are billed at 1 credit each. If you're building a port picker, don't call the search API on every keystroke — pull the Common Reference Sets once and cache them locally. That endpoint is free, unlimited, and doesn't touch your daily quota.
How is the signature generated, and why is it needed?
Signatures use HMAC-SHA256(METHOD + path + timestamp + nonce + body md5) keyed with AppSecret. Headers carry X-Awice-AppKey / X-Awice-Timestamp / X-Awice-Nonce / X-Awice-Signature. Signature + IP whitelist provide double protection against AppKey leakage.
Is the returned data real-time or cached?
Ocean FCL/LCL shares the same source as our public website, synced daily by the business team. Air and express rates are maintained and continuously updated by our own team. All responses include an update_time field so you can judge data freshness.
What is the QPS limit and how is overuse handled?
Free plan 5 QPS, paid pay-as-you-go 10 QPS, monthly unlimited 50 QPS, yearly unlimited 100 QPS. Overuse returns HTTP 429 (Retry-After header indicates retry time). For higher QPS, contact sales for custom plans.
Does a plan auto-renew when it runs out or expires?
No auto-renewal, and no automatic balance fallback. Service stops both when credits run out (HTTP 402, code 3001) and when the plan expires (HTTP 402, code 3004); buy a new plan or renew in the console. Note: credits left unused when a plan expires are forfeited, so use them up or renew before the expiry date.
What data formats are supported?
Standard RESTful JSON, UTF-8 encoded. All money fields keep 2 decimals (to avoid floating-point precision). All time fields are returned as Unix timestamps. Errors follow the RFC 7807 standard format { code, msg, detail }.
Is there a sandbox environment?
The developer console provides a "debug sandbox" with no identity verification and no charge, where you can send requests to validate signatures and parameters. The sandbox only returns sample data; real data must be called with a production AppKey.
How do I get help with issues?
The ticket system (Console → Tickets) responds within 24 hours. Paid plans include a dedicated account manager on WeChat. Monthly/yearly unlimited plans enjoy 7×24 phone support.
