Request Headers
| Name | Value | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authorization | Bearer <token> | Yes | Authorization key |
Request Body
| Name | Value | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | No | Project name |
| note | string | No | Project description |
| loads | array of Loads | Yes | Array of cargo items |
| loadingSpaces | array of Loading Spaces | No | Array of loading spaces |
| options | json | Yes | Processing algorithm options |
| options.allowOverweight | boolean | No | Setting the value to true means that cargo items will be placed in the loading space even if their weight exceeds the permissible payload capacity. Default value: false. |
| options.unit | string | No | Units for the specified dimensions. One of two values can be set: – “cm” [Default] – “lb” |
| options.newAlgorithm | boolean | No | Setting the value to true causes the new algorithm to be used. Default value: true. |
| options.loadingOrder | string | No | Values: “default” : based on the order of the cargo items “weight” : based on the weight of the cargo items “volume” : based on the volume of the cargo items “priority” : based on the prioritization of the cargo items |
| options.arrangeOptimally | boolean | No | Enabling the “arrange optimally” function means that the algorithm will look for a cargo arrangement that leaves as much free space as possible, regardless of the order in which the items were added. Default value: false. |
| options.includeSavedLoadingSpaces | boolean | No | Includes the loading spaces saved in the administrator account so that they can take part in the recommendation. Default value: false. |
