Export API

EntryGo Export Protocol v1

An export API is only useful if the workflow behind it is coherent.

EntryGo explains the export API as the machine-readable surface of a broader protocol that connects merchants, warehouses, operators, and automations to one export lifecycle.

What Is The Export API?

The API is the programmable surface of the EntryGo protocol.

It is designed for planning exports, executing workflows, and inspecting outcomes. It is not just shipment creation. It carries readiness, routing, artifacts, and event visibility through one model.

The operational problem

Software teams need a dependable way to plan, execute, and inspect exports. Without a strong workflow model, API integrations become thin wrappers around fragmented human processes.

Why traditional shipping tools fail

Traditional shipping APIs usually expose shipment creation, rates, and tracking. They do not offer a clean model for export planning, customs artifacts, broker routing, or warehouse-originated export state.

How protocol infrastructure solves it

EntryGo Export Protocol v1

EntryGo exposes the export lifecycle through a narrow API surface so software systems can use one protocol for planning, execution, and inspection.

Plan
POST /api/exports/plan

Build an export plan with readiness, compliance, and routing inputs.

Execute
POST /api/exports/execute

Run the export workflow and generate broker-ready records and notifications.

Inspect
GET /api/exports/:id

Read export state, artifacts, and operational outcomes through one surface.

How EntryGo connects merchants and warehouses

Export API Architecture
Merchants
3PL Warehouses
ShipBundle (Shopify)
EntryGo Warehouse Client
EntryGo Protocol
Brokers
Carriers
Compliance

Merchants and 3PL warehouses are entry points to the protocol. EntryGo standardizes how both feeds enter the same export infrastructure layer before routing work to brokers, carriers, and compliance workflows.

Implementation readiness signals

Three explicit lifecycle endpoints

One shared export record to inspect

Broker and warehouse routing as protocol concerns

Artifacts and events available downstream

A better export API starts with a protocol that merchants and warehouses can both use.
