# TrackingMore Real-time API

### What's _Real-time_ API?
Real-time API means creating/importing a tracking number & getting track results at the same time for our users. Namely, creating gets results. But we don't provide real-time update for the track info after shipments created as we set every 4-6hrs to fetch the track info from the carriers official web.

Below are real-time API in the existing 3 versions of TrackingMore API.
| API Version | Action of Real-time API | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| V4 | [create a tracking](https://www.trackingmore.com/docs/trackingmore/1a12771efd2e4-create-a-tracking) | import a single shipment to Trackingmore & get track results via API | 
| V3 | [Get real-time result](https://www.trackingmore.com/v3/api-index#get-real-time-result) | get track results of a tracking via API |
| V2 | [Get real-time result](https://www.trackingmore.com/v2/api-index.html?language=CURL#get-real-time-result) | get track results of a tracking via API |
