On this page you can find information about other functionality that can be used effectively
in combination with booking. Examples of such functionality is:

Using availability checks to ensure that the booking can be made to a given destination
Getting complete insight into the shipping journey by auto-initializing tracking for all your booked shipments


Extensions

Auto-initialize tracking for all your booked shipments

For complete insight into the shipping journey, you can auto-initialize tracking for all your booked shipments. This way, you can get the tracking information for all your shipments without having to manually initialize tracking for each shipment or rely on
the transporter to provide the tracking information to your customers.

Material concerning external functionality from Transporters

Availability checks are a way to check if a transporter is available to deliver a shipment. This is an important step in several of Skrym's services.
For example, when requesting a booking, we need to know if a transporter can deliver a specific request.
Or in the context of a delivery checkout, we want to display which transporters (and their methods) are available to be presented to a user.
Since it might be harmful to call a transporter twice, we have a general way of representing availability data so it can be shared between different services and reused for different purposes.
Skrym Availability API
The API accepts multiple transport methods, which availability will be fetched in parallel.
The API will return a list of availability statuses, which contains a success flag that specifies if the availability check was successful.
If an availability check is unsuccessful, the field ErrorDetails lists the reason for the failure.

Note: Since errors are returned within the response in `ErrorDetails`, the API will always respond with `200 OK`.
