Newgistics

This Ruby gem allows you to interact with the Newgistics Fulfillment API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'newgistics'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Configuration

Here is a list of the available configuration options and their default values

Option	Description	Default Value
api_base_url	The URL of the Newgistics API	"https://apistaging.newgisticsfulfillment.com"
api_key	Your Newgistics API key	nil
time_zone	The time zone used by Newgistics. When the API sends timestamps back it doesn't include a time zone, if it's not provided, the value of this setting will be used when parsing the timestamps into Time objects. You shouldn't need to change this setting	"America/Denver"
local_time_zone	The time zone used by your application, all Newgistics timestamps will be translated to this time zone automatically.	"UTC"

Setting your configuration

To set configuration options use the Newgistics.configure method:

Newgistics.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV['NEWGISTICS_API_KEY']
  config.api_base_url = ENV['NEWGISTIC_API_URL']
  config.local_time_zone = "America/New_York"
end

When setting time_zone or local_time_zone pass a String with the name of your time zone

If you're using this gem in a Rails app, you'll probably want to put this config in an initializer.

Resources

Orders

Placing an order on Newgistics

order = Newgistics::Order.new(order_attributes)
order.save

order_attributes is a Hash containing all the attributes for the order, the attributes should map one-to-one to the Newgistics API spec.

order.save will return true if the order is placed successfully and false otherwise, any errors or warnings generated when placing the order are available under order.errors and order.warnings respectively

Updating a shipment's/order's contents on Newgistics

shipment_update = Newgistics::ShipmentUpdate.new(id: SHIPMENT_ID)
shipment_update.add_items = [Newgistics::Item]
shipment_update.remove_items = [Newgistics::Item]
shipment_update.save

add_items and remove_items are arrays of Newgistics::Item that only require a sku and a qty. With these arrays we will update Newgistics what items to add and/or remove on the specified shipment_update object by either the shipment id(id) or you can use the internal order id(order_id) but BEWARE: use one or the other not both.

shipment_update.save will return true if the order is updated successfully and false otherwise, any errors or warnings generated when updating the shipment are available under shipment_update.errors and shipment_update.warnings respectively. shipment_update.success or also shipment_update.success? will also be updated to the corresponding value.

Cancelling a shipment/order on Newgistics

shipment_cancellation = Newgistics::ShipmentCancellation.new(shipment_id: SHIPMENT_ID)
shipment_cancellation.save

You must either give a shipment_id or order_id when cancelling a shipment in order for Newgistics to find the appropriate shipment. There are also optional parameters of cancel_if_in_process and cancel_if_backorder which are boolean values and covered in the Newgistics API documentation.

shipment_cancellation.save will return true if the order is cancelled successfully and false otherwise, any errors or warnings generated when cancelling the shipment are available under shipment_cancellation.errors and shipment_cancellation.warnings respectively. shipment_cancellation.success or also shipment_cancellation.success? will also be updated to the corresponding value.

Shipments

Searching for shipments on Newgistics

Newgistics::Shipment.
  where(start_received_timestamp: start_date).
  where(end_received_timestamp: end_date).
  all

start_date and end_date are Date types in ISO 8601 format. Please note that when using timestamps the Newgistics API expects that you send both the start_ timestamp and the end_ timestamp. This means you cannot send start_received_timestamp without sending end_received_timestamp the same goes for shipped_timestamp and exception_timestamp.

You can use the where method to specify the parameters of the Search. Parameter keys will be automatically camelized when sent to Newgistics, for a full list of the available parameters refer to the Newgistics API documentation.

Newgistics::Shipment.where(conditions).all will return a list of Newgistics::Shipment elements if the request is successful. Otherwise it will raise a Newgistics::QueryError.

Inbound Returns

Sending inbound returns to Newgistics

Newgistics::InboundReturn.new(inbound_return_attributes).save

inbound_return_attributes is a Hash containing all the attributes for the inbound return, the attributes should map one-to-one to the Newgistics API spec. Caveat: you should only supply either shipment_id or order_id but not both because you will receive an error from the API.

inbound_return.save will return true if the inbound return is sent successfully to Newgistics and false otherwise, any errors or warnings generated when sending the inbound_return are available under inbound_return.errors and inbound_return.warnings respectively

Searching for inbound returns on Newgistics

Newgistics::InboundReturn.
  where(start_created_timestamp: start_date).
  where(end_created_timestamp: end_date).
  all

You can use the where method to specify the parameters of the Search. Parameter keys will be automatically camelized when sent to Newgistics, for a full list of the available parameters refer to the Newgistics API documentation.

Newgistics::InboundReturn.where(conditions).all will return a list of Newgistics::InboundReturn elements if the request is successful. Otherwise it will raise a Newgistics::QueryError.

Returns

Searching for returns received by Newgistics

Newgistics::Return.
  where(start_timestamp: start_date).
  where(end_timestamp: end_date).
  all

start_date and end_date are Date types in ISO 8601 format. Please note that when using timestamps the Newgistics API expects that you send both the start_timestamp and the end_timestamp. This means you cannot send start_timestamp without sending end_timestamp.

You can use the where method to specify the parameters of the Search. Parameter keys will be automatically camelized when sent to Newgistics, for a full list of the available parameters refer to the Newgistics API documentation.

Newgistics::Return.where(conditions).all will return a list of Newgistics::Return elements if the request is successful. Otherwise it will raise a Newgistics::QueryError.

Products

Retrieving products from Newgistics

products = Newgistics::Product.all
products = Newgistics::Product.
  where(sku: sku).
  where(warehouse: warehouse_id).
  all

sku is a product's sku and warehouse is the warehouse's id number, where both of these values are strings. Parameter keys will be automatically camelized when sent to Newgistics, for a full list of the available parameters refer to the Newgistics API documentation.

However, parameters are not necessary for this endpoint and you will receive the complete inventory of products if you give it no parameters, so this allows you to just use the all method to retrieve the entire inventory.

Newgistics::Product.all will return a list of Newgistics::Product elements if the request is successful. Otherwise it will raise a Newgistics::QueryError.

Inventory

Retrieve inventory details from Newgistics

Newgistics::Inventory.
  where(start_timestamp: start_date, end_timestamp: end_date).
  all

start_date and end_date are Date types in ISO8601 format.

You can use the where method to specify the parameters for the Search. Parameter keys will be automatically camelized when sent to Newgistics, for a full list of the available parameters refer to the Newgistics API documentation.

Manifests

Creating a new Manifest in Newgistics

manifest = Newgistics::Manifest.new(manifest_attributes)
manifest.save

manifest_attributes is a Hash containing all the attributes for the manifest, the attributes should map one-to-one to the Newgistics API spec.

manifest.save will return true if the manifest is placed successfully and false otherwise, any errors or warnings generated when creating the manifest are available under manifest.errors and manifest.warnings respectively
