}Notes
- Spaces: waybills are printed
YYZ123 20260101 1234; the API accepts them with or without the spaces and the result echoes the number without spaces. - Steps: the API gives one time per step (created, received, collected, completed, returned), not a scan list, so each step with a time becomes an event.
- Time zone: the API does not state one, so only
localTimeis given.
