About Nowlun Track Shipment
Tired of manually checking the status of your shipments on Nowlun? I built this actor to solve exactly that. It automates the process of tracking any shipment on Nowlun.com, pulling all the critical details you need into a structured format without you having to lift a finger. Just feed it a booking number or a Bill of Lading (B/L), and it gets to work. It fetches everything: the booking reference, which shipping line is handling it, a description of the cargo, origin and destination ports, and the complete history of tracking updates. I use it to keep my own logistics dashboard updated or to pipe tracking data directly into my company's internal systems, saving hours of manual lookups each week. It's perfect for logistics managers, e-commerce operators, or anyone who needs to monitor multiple shipments regularly. You can run it on a schedule for proactive alerts or trigger it as part of a larger workflow whenever a new shipment is created. It turns a repetitive, manual website check into a reliable, automated data stream.

Documentation
Nowlun Track Shipment Actor
Overview
This actor tracks shipments on the Nowlun platform (https://nowlun.com). It retrieves detailed information—like booking number, shipping line, cargo, port details, and tracking updates—using a booking number or bill of lading (B/L). Authentication is optional; requests without credentials return an "Unauthorized" message.
Key Features
- Tracks shipments by booking number or B/L.
- Automatically detects the shipping line if not specified.
- Returns comprehensive shipment details, including port information and tracking history.
- Supports optional authentication for enhanced access.
How to Use
Provide the required input fields as a JSON object. The actor needs a booking_number and a selector ("booking" or "bl"). You can optionally specify the shipping_line; if omitted, it will be auto-detected.
You can find valid shipping line values using the Nowlun Selectors actor: https://apify.com/maged120/nowlun-selectors.?fpr=python_automation
