  summary: Create, quote, track, and test HaulStow deliveries.
  description: >
    The HaulStow Developer Delivery API is a server-to-server API for existing

    HaulStow business customers. Authenticate every request with a
    business-bound

    `hsg_live_key_...` API key. Use a test key with the sandbox base URL for

    deterministic, side-effect-free integration testing.


    All JSON responses use the same envelope. Every response includes

    `X-Request-ID` and rate-limit headers. Keep the request ID when contacting

    HaulStow support.
