API V3 – Fetch a Carrier Document

The /v3/carriers/fetch/document endpoint lets you retrieve a carrier document (W-9 or W-8BEN, operating authority, insurance, signed contract PDF) for storage or display on your system.

For TMS integrators, this endpoint is most useful when viewing the profile information of a carrier within your system.

Rather than copying these documents to your systems and taking on that storage cost, you can instead use BrokerCarrier as a file server for carrier documents. The added benefit of this is that you will always receive the most up-to-date document that we have for the given carrier.

Notes on this endpoint:

  1. Requires secret key. This endpoint must be called from the server side to avoid compromising your secret API key. Please do not use your secret key in client-side JavaScript.
