Getting Started

How to make an a Traqa account.

Before you can start using Traqa, you must sign up for an account on the traqa website & then await permissions to use the system. Once granted you will be assigned to a shipper role or a load site role.

We have two systems

1. UAT - a test environment for learning, working with and developing the API integration, essentially a safe space that doesn't impact any live loads or processes.

2. Production - The live environment that links to shippers, weighbridges, ports and customs systems, only use this for loads that you are physically loading and exporting.

Postman Collection for API

We strongly recommend when getting started with Traqa that you install Postman which is like a web browser for API's and you can then import our Traqa API Collection into Postman and start testing in the UAT environment with your credentials once the Traqa team have enabled your account. Documentation on how to authenticate is included in the collection.

UAT System (Test)

1. Sign Up for a UAT Traqa Account

To do this navigate to https://uat.traqa.io and click sign up under the login box. You will be prompted for a email, password and your name. Confirm your account and verify your email address by clicking the link sent to the email provided.

2. Await Account Confirmation by Traqa Team

Traqa will be notified of your registration and will assign the relevant permissions to your account for your role (shipper or load site). Once this is done you will be notified by email, if you do not hear back please email to [e-mail] with the subject as 'Requesting Access'.

3. Login to the Traqa application

Once your account is active please check you can login to the test environment using https://uat.traqa.io if you have access this means your account setup is complete. You can now begin to test and build your API integration.

4. Use the API

Once your account is active you will have access to the API for your company and given role (shipper or load site), the API allows you to create automation between your system and Traqa by sending and receiving data.

For the UAT API use the base URL:

https://uat.api.traqa.io/v1/

First step is to retrieve an "IdToken" for Authentication and use the endpoints documenting in the following pages.

Once you have successfully integrated to the UAT environment you should sign up for a account in the Production Environment via https://app.traqa.io

The Traqa GitHub also has some basic code samples, feel free to use or contribute for the Traqa community.

Production System (Live)

Each Shipper and Load Site will need their own account, we recommend that the account is assigned per individual, and for a load site it is also useful to have an account for the weighbridge which is used for API integration and will receive the completed paperwork.

Your UAT account cannot be migrated or used in Production so when ready to go live after testing, please register for an account as below;

1. Sign Up for a Production Traqa Account
