Hi

I noticed that there was shipper\_id field in Shipments when shiphero used REST API.  
There is no shipper\_id in Shipments from GraphQl API. I thought the warehouse {legacy\_id} is the same as shipper\_id, but they are not through comparing the same records.

Do you have any idea what field in graphql api is the same as shipper\_id from rest api?

Thanks

Jessie

Hi @heyjess!  
Do you have an old record you can share? (just the ID)  
So that way I can see if I can find what is that ID and how to pull it using the GraphQL Public API  
Thanks in advance!  
Tom

Hi @tomasw

I know you mentioned already there is no ETA yet but could you please request for setting ETA?  
To go forward with ShipHero data in my team, we need Shipper\_id ASAP.  
I’m sorry to rush you.

HI @heyjess ,  
This query will return the carrier, is that helpful?

```auto
query {
  shipment(id: "<shipment id here>") {
    request_id
    complexity
    data {
      shipping_labels {
        carrier
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Hi @Theresa

Thanks for the response 🙂

Carrier is carrier name.  
Before Shiphero change to GraphQL, there was shipper\_id data populated when using REST API.  
For example “shipper\_id”: “5519”  
However, after they’ve switched to GRaphQL, those data is not provided.  
I confirmed with @tomasw about this issue and he created ticket for that.
