How to Update Tracking on a Magento API
Magento's application programming interface provides you with the ability to develop and manage both custom and existing resources for your Magento storefront. You can manage your store's customers, inventory and edit its shopping carts. The API awards you with advanced control over your store's shipping as well, allowing you to make adjustments to every facet of an outgoing order. And if you need to update the tracking order on a shipment, use the Magento API to tag the order with the right number.
