Getting started in two steps

Most integrations are live within an afternoon. Create scoped API keys, point your client at the EU base URL, and start sending cases.

1. Create API keys

Generate scoped, revocable API keys directly in the platform. Use them for server-to-server integrations, ERP feeds or automation scripts.

Open the platform

2. Explore the OpenAPI spec

Browse every endpoint in the interactive Swagger UI, or download the full OpenAPI 3.0 specification as JSON or YAML.

Authentication

API keys for machines, sessions for people

Use API keys for server-to-server integrations and session tokens for user-facing apps. Both authenticate against the same endpoints; pick whatever fits the workflow.

  • API keys are prefixed with `dgc_`, scoped per project and revocable from the platform.
  • Session tokens are issued by Digicust's native auth for the web app, the Excel add-in and any signed-in user.
  • Headers Send `Authorization: Bearer <key>` or `X-API-Key: <key>`. Either is accepted.
Authenticated request
curl -X GET "https://api.eu.digicust.com/api/{orgId}/{projectId}/cases" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dgc_1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef"
REST API

Full REST API with OpenAPI 3.0

Drive every Digicust capability over standard REST. Cases, conversations, strategies, integrations, mappings, MCP servers, API keys, tariff classification and trade-compliance checks are all addressable with the same authentication and shape.

  • Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer dgc_…` API keys or a session token from the Digicust login.
  • One-step `cases/create-and-process` accepts files plus metadata in a single multipart request.
  • Async `classify-batch` for large catalogues with WebSocket progress events.
  • Polling and webhook patterns documented with copy-paste JS and Python examples.
  • Full OpenAPI spec downloadable as JSON or YAML.

SFTP

SFTP for legacy file flows

When an ERP, customs broker or partner can only speak files, Digicust drops processed cases on SFTP and picks up new ones from a watched folder. Same pipelines, same audit trail, no new schema for them to learn.

  • Outbound: push processed declarations, structured payloads or PDF outputs to your SFTP server.
  • Pre-built SFTP profiles for Scope, DAKOSY, E2OPEN, MERCURIO and DBH.
  • Inbound: drop documents into a strategy folder; Digicust creates the case automatically.
  • Password and key-based authentication with optional passphrase.
  • Optional FTP fallback for partners that have not migrated to SFTP.

    }
  }
}
Email

Email gateway for documents and follow-ups

Every strategy gets its own ingest email address; every case gets its own follow-up address. Send PDFs, EML, MSG or even photos and Digicust opens the case, parses attachments, classifies the goods and replies in your team's voice.

  • Per-strategy ingest address creates new cases automatically.
  • Per-case reply address attaches incoming mail to the open case.
  • Document control agent can chase suppliers, brokers or carriers in their own language.
  • Notifications on processing start, completion and SLA breaches.
  • Custom email gateway endpoint for teams that want to relay through their own MTA.

MCP

Model Context Protocol, first-class

Digicust speaks MCP, the open protocol that connects AI agents to external tools. Plug your own MCP server in to extend the Digicust agent with custom tools and data sources, or expose Digicust's customs tools to your own LLM apps.

  • SSE, HTTP and stdio transports supported.
  • Bring your own auth: bearer token, API key or basic.
  • Per-strategy enabling so the agent only sees the tools it should use.
  • Available tools surface live during case processing, no redeploy required.
  • Use the Digicust MCP server from any LLM app to run customs workflows on demand.
Register an MCP server
{
  "name": "Custom Tools Server",
  "transport": "sse",
  "url": "https://your-mcp-server.com/sse",
  "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": "your-mcp-token" },
  "enabled": true
}
Webhooks

Webhooks for outbound events

Get notified the moment a case is processed, a finding is raised or a strategy event fires. Webhooks are configured per-strategy and can be paired with mappings to deliver exactly the payload your system expects.

  • POST/PUT/GET/DELETE delivery with custom headers.
  • None, Basic, Bearer or Keycloak OAuth2 authentication.
  • Pair with a mapping to transform the case into your downstream schema.
  • Automatic retries (3 attempts, 60s timeout) with delivery audit log.
  • Receive base64-encoded attachments alongside the structured payload.

Tariff classification API

HS codes with reasoning, alternatives and BTI references

Single-item or batch (up to 10) classification with explicit GR1 to GR6 reasoning, confidence scores and alternative codes. Use the async batch endpoint for whole catalogues with WebSocket progress events.

Classify a goods description
curl -X POST "https://api.eu.digicust.com/api/{orgId}/{projectId}/tools/tariff-classification" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dgc_your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "goodsDescription": "USB-A to USB-C cable, 2m, copper" }'

Trade compliance API

Sanctions, dual-use, embargoes, CBAM, US re-export

One endpoint runs item checks (export/import controls, embargoes, CBAM, US re-export) and party screening across global denied-party lists, with a structured risk score.

Check items + parties
curl -X POST "https://api.eu.digicust.com/api/{orgId}/{projectId}/trade-compliance/check" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dgc_your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "itemChecks": [{ "customsTariffNumber": "8456301000", "destinationCountry": "CN" }],
    "partyChecks": [{ "name": "Acme Corporation Ltd.", "role": "buyer" }]
  }'

Built for production

Global coverage

Submission-ready data for ATLAS, AES, NCTS, ASYCUDA, DAKOSY, AEB, Format, Scope, Mercurio and more across 30+ countries.

Async + sync

Sync endpoints for short-lived calls, async pipelines for batches and long-running classifications, with WebSocket progress events.

Enterprise security

API key plus session-based authentication, scoped keys, instant revocation, audit log on every action, GDPR-aligned EU hosting.

Security note: Keep API keys out of client-side code, rotate them periodically and revoke any key that may have leaked. Reach out to support if you suspect a compromise. Keys can be revoked instantly.
