Wan Hai Cargo Tracking Scraper

What does Wan Hai Cargo Tracking Scraper do?

Wan Hai Cargo Tracking Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts real-time shipment tracking data from Wan Hai Lines, one of the world's leading container shipping carriers. Simply enter your tracking numbers — container numbers, B/L (Bill of Lading) numbers, or booking/release numbers — and the scraper automatically detects the type, queries the Wan Hai tracking system, and returns structured shipment data ready for analysis or integration.

No coding experience is needed. Paste your numbers, click Start, and download the results in JSON, CSV, Excel, or other formats.

Why scrape Wan Hai Lines shipment data?

Manually checking the Wan Hai website for container tracking updates is time-consuming, especially when managing multiple shipments across different routes. This actor automates Wan Hai cargo tracking so you can:

• 📦 Monitor shipment status — Get real-time container positions, vessel names, voyage numbers, and status updates
• 🔄 Track in bulk — Track hundreds of containers, B/L numbers, or booking references in a single run
• 📊 Feed data into dashboards — Export structured tracking data to Google Sheets, Slack, email, or your own systems via Apify integrations
• ⏰ Set up automated tracking — Schedule periodic runs to monitor shipment progress without manual checks
• 🔗 Build logistics pipelines — Use the Apify API to integrate Wan Hai tracking data into your supply chain management tools

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to scrape Wan Hai Lines?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract publicly available shipment tracking information that any visitor can access on the Wan Hai website. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain data related to commercial shipments. If you're unsure about your use case, consult your legal team.

Can I track multiple shipments at once?

Yes. Enter as many tracking numbers as you need in the Tracking Numbers field — one per line. The scraper processes them in parallel batches for maximum speed and uses automatic IP rotation to handle rate limits.

What types of tracking numbers are supported?

The scraper accepts three types of numbers and detects the type automatically — no manual selection needed:

• Container numbers — ISO 6346 format (4 letters + 7 digits, e.g., WHSU8766529)
• B/L (Bill of Lading) numbers — Wan Hai B/L reference numbers
• Booking / Release numbers — Wan Hai booking or release reference numbers

What if a tracking number is not found?

If a number returns no tracking data from Wan Hai's system, the scraper logs a warning and skips it. You are not charged for numbers that return no results.

How do I get support or report issues?

If you encounter any issues or have questions about the Wan Hai Cargo Tracking Scraper, you can:

• Open an issue on the Issues tab of the actor page
• Reach out to the developer for a custom solution based on your specific tracking needs
