# Get your Transport4 nominations and tickets through an API > Read your nominations, their cycle, phase and tankers, and your measurement tickets from Transport4 with one API call each. Or have a workflow check each morning which batches still have no receipt tanker before the carrier's deadline. Page: https://fous.com/automate/transport4 Updated: 2026-11-12 Works with your own Transport4 account. Fous is an independent product. ## What you can build on Transport4 ### Inquire nominations Reads Inquire Nominations for one carrier, filtered by product, cycle or requested event dates, with each batch's receipt and delivery events. - Takes: Carrier, product (optional), cycle (optional), requested event dates (optional) - Returns: Batch Id, shipper, product, SCD, cycle, phase, status, and for the receipt and the delivery: location, volume, units, S/C, tanker, requested event date ### Get measurement tickets Reads the tickets the carrier issued for your batches, including corrected tickets that supersede an earlier one. - Takes: Carrier, issued since (optional), Batch Id (optional) - Returns: Ticket number, Batch Id, product, location, volume, units, tanker ### Get a location's schedule Reads the receipt or delivery schedule for one location: which batches arrive or leave, when, and how much. - Takes: Carrier, location, receipt or delivery, date range - Returns: Batch Id, product, event type, volume, units, tanker, scheduled date ### Enter the receipt tanker on a nomination Finds one nomination in Inquire Nominations and enters the supply source on its receipt event: location, supplier and tanker. - Takes: Carrier, Batch Id, receipt location, supplier, tanker - Returns: Batch Id, event type, location, S/C, tanker, status ## Automate Transport4 with a workflow A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use. ### Batches with no receipt tanker, before the cut-off Starts: Every weekday at 7:00 1. For each carrier you name, inquire nominations with requested event dates in the next 7 days. 2. Keep the receipt events that have no tanker. 3. Email you the list by carrier, with Batch Id, product, location, volume and requested event date. ### Nominations whose status changed Starts: Every hour on weekdays 1. For each carrier, inquire nominations for the current and next cycle. 2. Keep the nominations whose status, cycle or phase changed since the last run. 3. Post each one to your scheduling system's webhook with Batch Id, status, cycle and phase. ### New tickets, posted to your inventory system Starts: Every day at 18:00 1. For each carrier, get the measurement tickets issued since yesterday. 2. Stop when there are none. 3. Post ticket number, Batch Id, product, location, volume, units and tanker to your webhook. You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month. ## Once built, one call from your code Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Inquire nominations” would look like. Example request: ``` curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "method": "app.transport4.com/inquire_nominations", "input": { "carrier": "Northwind Pipeline", "product": "062", "cycle": "31" } }' ``` Example response: ``` { "status": "completed", "data": { "carrier": "Northwind Pipeline", "nominations": [ { "batch_id": "NWP-ACM-062-311-E", "shipper": "ACM", "product": "062", "scd": "E", "cycle": "31", "phase": "1", "status": "Accepted", "receipt": { "location": "GX", "volume": 25, "units": "Mbarrels", "s_c": "Globex Refining", "tanker": "Globex Refining", "requested_event_date": "2026-11-14" }, "delivery": { "location": "NW", "volume": 25, "units": "Mbarrels", "s_c": "Acme Terminals", "tanker": "Acme Terminals", "requested_event_date": "2026-11-19" } } ] } } ``` An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request. ## Transport4’s own options Transport4 is the online Shipper Information System that pipeline carriers such as Buckeye use for nominations, schedules and tickets. Its Push options send schedules automatically and an email or EDI copy of every ticket. T4 Mobile shows nominations, schedules and tickets on a phone. The carrier documentation and app listing we read describe no developer API. | Option | What it covers | What it takes | | --- | --- | --- | | Push options for tickets | An email or an EDI copy of every ticket, sent automatically. | Chosen by the Transport4 user. Suppliers and consignees receive tickets only through Transport4. | | Push options for schedules | Receipt and delivery schedules for a terminal's own locations, sent automatically one to three times a day. | A Transport4 user set up for that terminal. | | T4 Mobile | Nominations, schedules and tickets, with profiles, nomination and schedule notifications, and nomination changes for Buckeye shippers. | Your Transport4 account, on iPhone or iPad. | | Transport4 by hand | Nomination entry, Inquire Nominations, copying a nomination, schedules, tickets and Alerts, under each carrier's own rules. | Access requested from the Transport4 help desk, with each carrier approving it. | Read on November 12, 2026: [Buckeye Shipping Information Notebook, Section 2: Nominating and Scheduling](https://www.buckeye.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Section-2-Nominating-and-Scheduling-08-2024.pdf), [T4 Mobile on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/transport4/id6538714499), [Buckeye Shipping Information Notebook, Section 6.4: Batch and Ticket Numbers](https://www.buckeye.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Section-6-4-Batch-and-Ticket-Numbers-12-2022.pdf). ## Signing in to Transport4 Access starts with a request to the Transport4 help desk naming your company administrator, who assigns your company's Transport4 user accounts, and the carriers you need: each carrier must approve. With Fous you sign in once through Transport4's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in. ## Worth knowing - **One Batch Id per nomination entry**: Each nomination entry gets one Batch Id, so a group of nominations cannot go in as one entry. The batch data (shipper, product, cycle and SCD) cannot be changed in Transport4 after the carrier assigns it. - **Cycle and phase arrive minutes later**: On Buckeye, a new nomination can take several minutes before it is assigned a cycle and phase. Read it again before you use its cycle and phase. - **Supply source three business days ahead**: On Buckeye, the final confirmed supply source is due three business days before lifting: for a Monday batch, by 23:59 pipeline time the prior Tuesday. A batch without one is rejected through Transport4. - **Corrected tickets carry a letter**: On Buckeye, a corrected measurement ticket keeps its number with a fifth character from A to Z: an A ticket supersedes the original, a B ticket supersedes the A ticket. Keep only the latest one. ## More in Energy and utilities - [British Gas Business online account](https://fous.com/automate/british-gas-business-online-account.md) - [Ameren online account](https://fous.com/automate/ameren-online-account.md) - [CenterPoint Energy My Account](https://fous.com/automate/centerpoint-energy-my-account.md) - [Con Edison My Account](https://fous.com/automate/con-edison-my-account.md) - [DTE Energy online account](https://fous.com/automate/dte-energy-online-account.md) - [Eversource online account](https://fous.com/automate/eversource-online-account.md) - [National Grid US My Account](https://fous.com/automate/national-grid-us-my-account.md) - [PG&E online account](https://fous.com/automate/pg-and-e-online-account.md) - [PSE&G My Account](https://fous.com/automate/pse-and-g-my-account.md) - [SDG&E My Account](https://fous.com/automate/sdg-and-e-my-account.md) - [AEP online account](https://fous.com/automate/aep-online-account.md) - [ComEd My Account](https://fous.com/automate/comed-my-account.md) - [Dominion Energy Manage Account](https://fous.com/automate/dominion-energy-manage-account.md) - [Duke Energy My Account](https://fous.com/automate/duke-energy-my-account.md) - [FirstEnergy online account](https://fous.com/automate/firstenergy-online-account.md) - [FPL online account](https://fous.com/automate/fpl-online-account.md) - [Georgia Power My Account](https://fous.com/automate/georgia-power-my-account.md) - [Hydro One myAccount](https://fous.com/automate/hydro-one-myaccount.md) - [Hydro-Québec Espace client](https://fous.com/automate/hydro-quebec-espace-client.md) - [myEntergy](https://fous.com/automate/myentergy.md) - [PPL Electric Utilities online account](https://fous.com/automate/ppl-electric-utilities-online-account.md) - [SCE My Account](https://fous.com/automate/sce-my-account.md) - [Enedis Espace Client Entreprises](https://fous.com/automate/enedis-espace-client-entreprises.md) - [SGE](https://fous.com/automate/sge.md) - [Cemig Atende](https://fous.com/automate/cemig-atende.md) - [Enel Agência Virtual](https://fous.com/automate/enel-agencia-virtual.md) - [Espace Producteur EDF OA](https://fous.com/automate/espace-producteur-edf-oa.md) - [SoCalGas My Account](https://fous.com/automate/socalgas-my-account.md) - [Smart Meter Texas](https://fous.com/automate/smart-meter-texas.md) - [SmartHub](https://fous.com/automate/smarthub.md) - [My WM](https://fous.com/automate/my-wm.md) - [Republic Services My Account](https://fous.com/automate/republic-services-my-account.md) Other industries: [Transgourmet Webshop](/automate/transgourmet-webshop), [Westpac Corporate Online](/automate/westpac-corporate-online), [U.S. Bank Access Online](/automate/u-s-bank-access-online), [BIR eFPS](/automate/bir-efps), [FBR IRIS](/automate/fbr-iris), [GetYourGuide Supplier Portal](/automate/getyourguide-supplier-portal). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Transport4 have an API? Not one described in the carrier documentation or app listing we read. What they describe is Push: schedules sent automatically one to three times a day, and an email or EDI copy of every ticket. With Fous you can build methods on the Transport4 web application with your own account. ### When is a Transport4 nomination due? It depends on the carrier. Buckeye asks for nominations in Transport4 no later than the 15th of the month before the shipment month, and handles later requests on a best-efforts basis only. Late changes may carry a penalty under its Item No. 140. ### How do I know a nomination was rejected? Transport4's Alert blinks when Buckeye rejects a nomination, and a batch is presumed accepted unless the scheduler says otherwise in Transport4. A workflow that inquires nominations every hour can report each status change to you. ### Can I get Transport4 tickets without signing in each day? Yes, through Push options: Transport4 can send an email or EDI copy of every ticket automatically. Suppliers and consignees receive tickets only through Transport4. A workflow can also read new tickets each day and post them to your own system. ### Is Fous affiliated with Transport4 LLC? No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Transport4 account, and a method reads and does only what that account can. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of Transport4 (Transport4 LLC). The name is used only to say which system this page is about.
