Overview
BIC-Boxtech provides technical specifications for shipping containers in the global fleet, including dimensions, tare weight, and capacity details. It is useful for logistics developers who need accurate container data for freight management systems. Authentication requires OAuth, so you will need to set up an OAuth flow before making requests.
Beginner Tip
Start by requesting an OAuth token from the BIC-Boxtech portal before calling any endpoints. Container data is identified by BIC codes (e.g., MSCU1234567), so make sure you have valid BIC codes to query.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"route": "Line 1",
"origin": "Station A",
"destination": "Station B",
"departure": "08:30",
"arrival": "09:15",
"status": "On Time",
"delays_min": 0
} Field Reference
container_number The unique BIC container identifier following ISO 6346 format (e.g., MSCU1234567). size_type ISO size and type code indicating container dimensions and type (e.g., 22G1 for a 20ft general purpose container). tare_weight The empty weight of the container in kilograms. max_gross_weight Maximum allowable total weight including cargo, in kilograms. internal_volume Internal cubic capacity of the container in cubic meters. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://app.bic-boxtech.org/api/v2.0/container/MSCU1234567";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
