API Reference

Monist Shipment Extension

Extension Installation

Preliminary Works

The following information is requested from the provider for the brand-specific and production (live) environment.

  • API_URL

  • AUTH_TOKEN

  • ACCOUNT_ID

  • PRICE_LIST

  • DELIVERY_TYPE

A secret_key is generated with a minimum length of 41 characters. The generated key must be kept throughout the installation. An example command line to generate a random key:

openssl rand -base64 41

An address ID must be set for the default destination information in easy-return shipments. It can be created using the extension's address creation method (example curl is given below). Ensure that the address ID is accurately configured to facilitate the smooth handling of return shipments within the Omnitron configuration.

curl --location 'https://8ad8dd652c004daeb009293f10def9ff.lb.akinoncloud.com/addresses' \

Omnitron Settings

Monist can be selected as the Shipment Provider in Omnitron to integrate with the extension installed. Additionally, an easy return option can be defined to enable easy return methods. Explanations on how these settings can be configured are detailed in the sections below. Please note that these two operations are independent and optional.

Shipping Provider

To add Monist, a new shipping provider is added to SHIPPING_PROVIDERS in Dynamic Settings through Omnitron.

Example Omnitron Configuration:

Field
Description

Klass

ExtensionShippingProvider Class

Urls Code

{ "urls": { "base_url": "{SHIPMENT_EXTENSION_URL}" } }

Serializers

Order Serializer: ExtensionShippingOrderSerializer Class Response Serializer: ExtensionShippingResponseSerializer Class

Configurations Code

{ "strategies": { "query_type": "SHIPMENT_ID", "generate_shipment_origin_strategy": "<addressId>", "generate_shipment_product_strategy": true, "generate_shipment_product_attributes": [ "barcode", “description”, “name” ] }, "pay_on_delivery_option": false, "delivery_type": "CUSTOMER", "auth": { "username": "{SHIPMENT_EXTENSION_ADMIN_USERNAME}", "password": "{SHIPMENT_EXTENSION_ADMIN_PASSWORD}" }, "is_active": { "query": true, "send_shipping_info": true, "delete_shipping_info": true, "query_by_order": true }, "label_options": { "file_extension": "pdf" } }

Easy Return Shipping Option

One easy return shipping option must be defined in Omnitron to be specific for the extension installed. Explanations on how the settings should be made at this stage are in the section below.

Example Omnitron Configuration:

Field
Description

Shipping Company

Extension Cargo

Shipping Company Auth Code

{ "url": "{SHIPMENT_EXTENSION_URL}", "username": "{SHIPMENT_EXTENSION_ADMIN_USERNAME}", "password": "{SHIPMENT_EXTENSION_ADMIN_PASSWORD}", “send_user_address”: True, “easy_return_product_strategy”: True, "return_destination_extension_id":"{address_id}" “product_attributes”: { "barcode": "{product_barcode_attribute}", "description": "{product_description_attribute}", "name": "{product_name_attribute}" } }

Start Date Gap

This variable is used to delay the start date for using the return code. If this value is set to 0, the customer can request a refund on the same day.

Delivery Time

The delivery_time variable indicates the duration for which the return code will be valid and usable. If the product is not shipped by the customer within this period, the code becomes invalid.

Shipping Company Prefix

If a prefix is to be added to the return code, this field should contain the short name of the brand. This short name can be any value determined by the brand.

Shipping Company Rules

{ "product": { "field_key": "attributes__easy_return_method", "field_values": [ [ "", null ] ] } }

Mapping

Mapping is mandatory to use Monist Shipment Extension properly. There are 2 types of mapper that need to be defined:

Mapper Type
Description

ADDRESS

ADDRESS value formatted using the address values provided by the Monist Delivery Module. It is used for extension’s address information. Key must be formatted as “{akinon_country_name}//{akinon_city_name}//{akinon_township_name}”. Value must be formatted as “{country_name}$${country_id}//{city_name}$${city_id}//{district_name}$${district_id}”. Example: {“Turkey//Istanbul//Kadikoy”: “TÜRKİYE$$1//İSTANBUL$$34//KADIKÖY$$455”}

ORIGIN_ID

WAREHOUSE ID value provided by the Monist Delivery Module. It is used for mapping the extension's address_id information, which corresponds to the addresses designated as the departure point for shipments and/or the destination for returns, to the Monist Warehouse ID.

Notes

* In the Monist Delivery Module, the address flow is defined in the sequence of Country, City, District. To ensure the correct utilization of this flow, the TOWNSHIP information is equated to the DISTRICT information. ** Below are examples of the requests that need to be sent to the Monist Delivery Module to obtain the information specified here.

Countries:

curl --location 'https://api.delivery.monist.co/getCountries' \
--header 'auth_token: {auth_token}' \
--header 'account_id: {account_id}'

Cities:

curl --location 'https://api.delivery.monist.co/getCities \
--header 'auth_token: {auth_token}' \
--header 'account_id: {account_id}'

Districts:

curl --location 'https://api.delivery.monist.co/getDistricts' \
--header 'auth_token: {auth_token}' \
--header 'account_id: {account_id}'

Warehouses:

curl --location 'https://api.delivery.monist.co/getWarehouses' \
--header 'auth_token: {auth_token}' \
--header 'account_id: {account_id}'

Steps to Use the Mapper Method for the ORIGIN ID:

  1. Get the Warehouse Information: First, access the warehouse information by using the Monist Delivery Module’ s “getWarehouses” method, an example of which is provided above.

  2. Create an Address: Create an address using accessed warehouse information and obtain its ID.

  3. Map Address ID with warehouse_id: The mapping method takes three values: type, key, and value.

    • Type: Currently, the type is fixed as ORIGIN_ID.

    • Key: Use the created address ID as the key. Example: 61b2f0d5-42a2-4746-a090-c162099a0809.

    • Value: Assign the warehouse_id as the value. Example: 1.

When a request comes in with a specific address ID, the outgoing request should include the corresponding warehouse_id if a mapping exists. For example, if the address ID 61b2f0d5-42a2-4746-a090-c162099a0809 is mapped to 1, any request with this address ID should include warehouse_id as 1.

Steps to Use the Mapper Method for the Address Information:

  1. Get the Address Information: First, access the desired address type’ s information by using the Monist Delivery Module’ s methods, examples of which are provided above. Example: The “getCities” method can be used to obtain the defined city list out of Monist Delivery Module. Obtained city list includes item_id and name information.

  2. Prepare the Mapper Key: Mapper key must include all three desired address information sorted as Country, City, Township separated by Double Slash (“//”). Example: “Turkiye//Istanbul//Kadikoy”.

  3. Prepare the Mapper Value: Mapper value must include the name and the id values of desired address information in a specific format: {name}$${item_id} Example: Obtained city list before includes Istanbul’ s information; “İSTANBUL” as name and 34 as item_id. The value for Istanbul can be formatted as “İSTANBUL$$34”. Address value must include all three address information. The final value example: “TÜRKİYE$$1//İSTANBUL$$34//KADIKÖY$$455”

  4. Map Address Key with Formatted Value: The mapping method takes three values: type, key, and value.

    1. Type: Currently, the type is fixed as ADDRESS.

    2. Key: Use the formatted address key as the key. Example: “Turkiye//Istanbul//Kadikoy”.

    3. Value: Assign the formatted value as the value. Example: “TÜRKİYE$$1//İSTANBUL$$34//KADIKÖY$$455”.

When a request comes in with a specific address key, the outgoing request should include the corresponding name and item_id of all address information if a mapping exists. For example, if the address key “Turkiye//Istanbul//Kadikoy” is mapped to “TÜRKİYE$$1//İSTANBUL$$34//KADIKÖY$$455”, any request with this address key should include “TÜRKİYE” as country name, 1 as country id, “İSTANBUL” as city name, 34 as city id, “KADIKÖY” as district name, 455 as district id.

Generate Mapping Request:

curl -X POST {{extension_url}}/mapper \
     -u username:password \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "type": "",
           "key": "",
           "value": ""
         }'

Update Mapping Request:

* The values for key, type, and value should be updated.

curl -X PATCH "{{extension_url}}/mapper/<id>" \
     -u username:password \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "type": "",
           "key": "",
           "value": ""
         }'

Get Mapping Request:

* When making a query request, it can be filtered by the fields type, key, value, created_date and modified_date.

curl -X GET "{{extension_url}}/mapper?key=<key>" \
     -u username:password \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Delete Mapping Request:

curl -X DELETE "{{extension_url}}/mapper/<id>" \
     -u username:password \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Additional Notes

  • There is no endpoint that allows for a created easy-return to delete. Unused easy-return deliveries will be deleted automatically by the Monist Delivery Module.
