titleImportant Items to Note
  • Authentication is needed for most endpoints. You will need to send an authorization token or do a basic authentication with the call.
  • Dates entered should be in milliseconds in UTC for JSON requests (e.g. 1559651878000) and ISO-8601 standard for XML requests (e.g. 2019-06-04T07:36:53).
  • Dates returned are formatted according to X Dispatch global options settings and localized to where the order was picked up/delivered with the timezone noted.
  • When entering the workOrderId parameter it must be in the following format:

    • route stop: r<stopID>
    • on demand pickup: p<orderID>
    • on demand delivery: d<orderID>

How will versioning be handled?

CXT Software will support the latest version, plus one previously published version. Response and Request objects, in addition to URLs, may have properties added with new releases. Business logic within the endpoints may change, and/or permission hardening may be applicable to existing endpoints with new releases 

Requirements

  • X Dispatch 21.0 or newer.
  • TLS 1.2
    • When calling the web services for CXT Cloud customers (designated by a domain in the format <CXTID>0.cxtsoftware.net), the calling system must connect with TLS 1.2
    • TLS 1.2 is not supported on Windows 2008 R2 or below. The calling system can run Windows 7, 8.1 or 2012 or newer, all of which support TLS 1.2

...

You can see which user type(s) are required for an endpoint under "Implementation Notes". For example, "Allowed requestors: [Inet user]" requires an authenticated internet user and  "Allowed requestors: [Mobile Users]" requires an authenticated driver user.
