CEND / Developers

CEND for developers

Build delivery into your product.

Quote a real price at checkout and follow any shipment by its tracking number, with plain web requests and JSON back. Prices and tracking need no account and no key today.

curl -X POST "https://api.cend.ng/api/v1/quotes" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

Where it lives

Plain requests, plain answers.

  • Prices and tracking need no key today. Booking, keys and webhooks are planned, and we will tell you first.
  • Every request is rate limited. If you get a 429, wait a little and try again.
  • Amounts come back in kobo and as text, such as ₦8,000.00.
