# Connect Despatch Bay to Hypamoon

Yes. Despatch Bay has a public, versioned API and you create the key yourself, so your chat can write the adapter.

Open

## The check

Three questions about the API of Despatch Bay, answered from its own docs.

**Public API docs**\
**Yes.** Despatch Bay documents its SOAP API, with Account, Addressing, Shipping, Tracking and Documents services, in its own GitHub wiki. [Read the docs](https://github.com/despatchbay/despatchbay-api-v16/wiki)

**A key you create yourself**\
**Yes.** Generate an API user and key in the API settings of your Despatch Bay account; you can make more than one set. [github.com](https://github.com/despatchbay/despatchbay-api-v16/wiki)

**Versions or a changelog**\
**Yes.** The API is versioned, with version 16 in the endpoint paths. [github.com](https://github.com/despatchbay/despatchbay-api-v16/wiki)

**How it signs in**\
API user and API key from the Despatch Bay account, sent as basic authentication on SOAP calls.

**Webhooks**\
**Not confirmed.**

**Hosting**\
Cloud

## What you can build

Book UK courier collections and print labels from your own order screen, and look up tracking for each parcel.

Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters)

### Good to know

-   Your adapter uses a fixed key: you paste it once in the Hypamoon portal, never in the chat, and it only goes to the API host you allow.
-   The API is SOAP, not REST; use a SOAP client with the WSDL of each service.

## Try it in your chat

Fill in what to read and write, and send it.

In Claude, or another chat with the full Hypamoon connection; adapters are not in ChatGPT yet. You paste the key in the portal, never in the chat. [The full recipe](https://hypamoon.com/r/build-an-adapter)
