Shipment tracking
Interface to collect Track & Trace data of inland shipment from Michelin logistic Partners
Authentication details
Shipment Tracking APIs are authenticated with the OAuth Security Scheme. To access this API, you would require valid Credentials.
-OAuth2 client credential authorization is a method used to grant access to resources in a secure manner. It involves a client application obtaining an access token directly from the authorization server using its own credentials, such as a client ID and client secret.
-By using client credentials, the authorization server can authenticate the client and issue an access token, which the client can then use to make authorized API requests. This ensures that only trusted applications can access protected resources, enhancing security and control.
