Special APIs Introduction

TrackVision provides specialized APIs that extend beyond standard EPCIS functionality for integration convinience or to address specific supply chain interoperability use cases.

Available Special APIs​

Item Trace API​

Enables the retrieval of comprehensive traceability information about an item in one query, avoiding the need for the client to make several calls. This includes:

  • Item current state
  • Item parent and packed contents
  • Item inputs (e.g. input batches)
  • Item event history (including inferred events)

GS1 Web Vocabulary​

Implements the GS1 Web Vocabulary standard for certain master data:

  • Product - Master data about products
  • Organisation - Master data about companies, business units and other parties
  • Location - Master data about locations and sub-locations
  • Certifications - Master data about certifications, along with relationships to products, locations or organisations.

Authentication​

All Special APIs use the same authentication mechanisms as the Native REST API. See the Authentication Guide.
