User-Agent Header Requirement

To ensure proper identification and tracking of API usage, all API calls must include the User-Agent header. This header allows us to understand the context of the requests being made and can assist in troubleshooting and optimizing our services.

How to Include the User-Agent Header

When making API requests, include the User-Agent header in your HTTP headers. Here’s an example of how to set the User-Agent header:

Example in cURL:

curl -X GET "https://api.kuehne-nagel.com/endpoint" \
-H "User-Agent: YourAppName/1.0" 

Important Notes

• Value Format: The value for the User-Agent header should typically include your application name and version (e.g., YourAppName/1.0).
• Mandatory: This header is mandatory for all API requests. Requests without the User-Agent header may be rejected or logged for further investigation.
