There are two ways of receiving generated visibility data back into your in-house system, you have the following options:

Option 1 - Webhooks Visibility API

You subscribe to one or multiple webhook topics and Transporeon pushes the data to an https endpoint provided by you.
This is the standard approach and recommended if you'd like to receive all data that is generated for a transport.

Option 2 - Transport status API

You use the provided GET endpoints of the REST API and pull the data. This is the alternative approach and recommended if you want to lookup one specific transport to
e.g. investigate what was going on at location X and time Y for order Z.

The payload is the same for both options, there is no difference.
