**Hello, Magento pals!**

Magento 2 is a flexible, powerful E-commerce platform that enables the user to create shipping of an order with the use of API. hence, I am here with this complete tutorial on how you can create shipping with Magento 2 API.
Let’s get going!
## Create Shipment With Magento 2 REST API
Get the order_item_id of all the products that are to be shipped in order to create a shipment with Magento 2. Note that:
- To create a partial shipment, define only the **order_item_ids** that are going to be shipped now. - If the call is successful on a full shipment, The order status is changed to Complete.
**Endpoint:**

**POST https://domain.com/rest/<store_code>/V1/order/1/ship**

Here, 1 is Your Order Id and store_code (optional).
**Headers:**

**Content-Type: application/json**

**Authorization: Bearer <administrator token>**

**Payload:**

```
{
  "items": [
    {
      "order_item_id": 1,
      "qty": 1
    },
    {
      "order_item_id": 2,
      "qty": 2
    },
    {
      "order_item_id": 3,
      "qty": 3
    }
  ],
  "notify": true,
  "appendComment": true,
  "comment": {
    "comment": "Shipment from the warehouse"
  },
  "tracks": [
     {
       "track_number": "456456465",
       "title": "fedex Title Here",
       "carrier_code": "fedex"
     }
   ]
}
```

**Response:**

**The shipment ID, such as 3.**

## Check the results
1. Go to Sales > Shipments in the admin panel. The Three shipments for this order are displayed in the grid.2. Go to Catalog > Products. Check that the Quantity per Source values are correct for each product, based on the selections you made at shipment.
Create Sample Example for shipment using REST API so create **shipment_rest_api.php** in your Magento root path after adding the below code.
```
<?php

$admindata = array("username" => "admin", "password" => "admin@123");

$ch = curl_init("http://domain.com/rest/V1/integration/admin/token");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($admindata));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json", "Content-Length: " . strlen(json_encode($admindata))));

$token = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

echo "Token : ".$token;

$ch = curl_init();

if (!$ch)

{

    return "Couldn't initialize a cURL handle";

}

$data = '{

  "items": [

    {

      "order_item_id": 4,

      "qty": 1

    }

  ]

}';

$host= "http://domain.com/rest/V1/order/4/ship";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$host);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer " . json_decode($token)));

$curlresponse = curl_exec($ch);

print_r(curl_error($curlresponse));

$responseData=json_decode($curlresponse);

echo "";

print_r($responseData);

echo "";
```
