Container Number Validator API — ISO 6346 Check Digit
The Container Number Validator API validates shipping container numbers against the ISO 6346 standard, including the check-digit algorithm. It decodes the owner prefix, equipment category and serial number, and returns clean JSON — a fast Standby API with no login.
What the container number validator checks
- Format — 4 letters (owner code + category identifier) followed by 6 digits and a check digit.
- Check digit — the ISO 6346 modulo-11 check-digit calculation.
API usage
The response returns validity, the owner prefix, the equipment category, the serial number, and the expected vs. given check digit.
Use cases
Validate container numbers in logistics, freight-forwarding and customs software, catching data-entry errors before they propagate into shipping documents.
Pricing
Pay-per-event: $0.001 per API call.

Notes
This Actor performs offline structural validation. A valid result means the number is well-formed and check-digit-consistent; it does not confirm the container's current status.
