List freight shipment documents

Changed on Oct 22, 2026

List the documents available for a freight shipment, such as the Bill of Lading, pallet labels, and the proof of delivery. Documents become available as the shipment progresses: the Bill of Lading is generated at booking, while a proof of delivery only exists after delivery.

Each document's url is a path on the API host that returns the PDF, for example https://api.shipengine.com/v1/downloads/....

get/v1/freight/shipments/{freight_shipment_id}/documents
