The v2 shipping API is a **PRO-gated** read + webhook-subscription surface on top of WorldMonitor's chokepoint registry and AIS tracking data.

<Info>
All v2 shipping endpoints require `X-WorldMonitor-Key` (server-to-server). Browser origins are **not** trusted here — `validateApiKey` runs with `forceKey: true`.

## Route intelligence

### `GET /api/v2/shipping/route-intelligence`

Scores a country-pair trade route for chokepoint exposure and current disruption risk.

**Query parameters**:

| Param | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `fromIso2` | yes | Origin country, ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 (uppercase). |
| `toIso2` | yes | Destination country, ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 (uppercase). |
| `cargoType` | no | One of `container` (default), `tanker`, `bulk`, `roro`. |
| `hs2` | no | 2-digit HS commodity code (default `27` — mineral fuels). |

**Example**:
```
GET /api/v2/shipping/route-intelligence?fromIso2=AE&toIso2=NL&cargoType=tanker&hs2=27
```

**Response (`200`)**:
```json
{
  "fromIso2": "AE",
  "toIso2": "NL",
  "cargoType": "tanker",
  "hs2": "27",
  "primaryRouteId": "ae-to-eu-via-hormuz-suez",
  "chokepointExposures": [
    { "chokepointId": "hormuz_strait", "chokepointName": "Strait of Hormuz", "exposurePct": 100 },
    { "chokepointId": "suez",   "chokepointName": "Suez Canal",        "exposurePct": 100 }
  ],
  "bypassOptions": [
    {
      "id": "cape-of-good-hope",
      "name": "Cape of Good Hope",
      "type": "maritime_detour",
      "addedTransitDays": 12,
      "addedCostMultiplier": 1.35,
      "activationThreshold": "DISRUPTION_SCORE_60"
    }
  ],
  "warRiskTier": "WAR_RISK_TIER_ELEVATED",
  "disruptionScore": 68,
  "fetchedAt": "2026-04-19T12:00:00Z"
}
```

- `disruptionScore` is 0-100 on the **primary** chokepoint for the route (higher = more disruption).
- `warRiskTier` is one of the `WAR_RISK_TIER_*` enum values from the chokepoint status feed.
- `bypassOptions` are filtered to those whose `suitableCargoTypes` includes `cargoType` (or is unset).

**Caching**: `Cache-Control: public, max-age=60, stale-while-revalidate=120`.

**Errors**:

| Status | Cause |
|--------|-------|
| 400 | `fromIso2` or `toIso2` missing/malformed |
| 401 | API key required or invalid |
| 403 | `PRO subscription required` |
| 405 | Method other than `GET` |

## Webhook subscriptions

### `POST /api/v2/shipping/webhooks`

Registers a webhook for chokepoint disruption alerts. Returns `201 Created`.

**Request**:
```json
{
  "callbackUrl": "https://hooks.example.com/shipping-alerts",
  "chokepointIds": ["hormuz_strait", "suez", "bab_el_mandeb"],
  "alertThreshold": 60
}
```

- `callbackUrl` — required, HTTPS only, must not resolve to a private/loopback address (SSRF guard at registration).
- `chokepointIds` — optional. Omitting or passing an empty array subscribes to **all** registered chokepoints. Unknown IDs return `400`.
- `alertThreshold` — numeric 0-100 (default `50`). Values outside that range return `400 "alertThreshold must be a number between 0 and 100"`.

**Response (`201`)**:
```json
{
  "subscriberId": "wh_a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2",
  "secret": "64-char-lowercase-hex-string"
}
```

- `subscriberId` — `wh_` prefix + 24 hex chars (12 random bytes).
- `secret` — raw 64-char lowercase hex (32 random bytes). There is no `whsec_` prefix. Persist it — the server never returns it again except on rotation.
- **TTL**: 30 days on both the subscriber record and the per-owner index set. Only **re-registration** refreshes both, via an atomic pipeline (`SET` record with `EX`, `SADD` + `EXPIRE` on the owner index). `rotate-secret` and `reactivate` refresh the record's TTL only — they do not touch the owner-index set's expiry, so the owner index can expire independently if a caller only ever rotates or reactivates within a 30-day window. Re-register to keep both alive.
- Ownership is tracked via SHA-256 of the caller's API key (never secret — stored as `ownerTag`).

Auth: `X-WorldMonitor-Key` (forceKey: true) + PRO. Returns `401` / `403` otherwise.

### `GET /api/v2/shipping/webhooks`

Lists the caller's registered webhooks (filtered by the SHA-256 owner tag of the calling API key).

```json
{
  "webhooks": [
    {
      "subscriberId": "wh_...",
      "callbackUrl": "https://hooks.example.com/...",
      "chokepointIds": ["hormuz_strait", "suez"],
      "alertThreshold": 60,
      "createdAt": "2026-04-19T12:00:00Z",
      "active": true
    }
  ]
}
```

The `secret` is intentionally omitted from list and status responses.

### `GET /api/v2/shipping/webhooks/{subscriberId}`

Status read for a single webhook. Returns the same record shape as in `GET /webhooks` (no `secret`). `404` if unknown, `403` if owned by a different API key.

### `POST /api/v2/shipping/webhooks/{subscriberId}/rotate-secret`

Generates and returns a **new** secret. The record's `secret` is replaced in place; the old secret stops validating immediately.

```json
{ "subscriberId": "wh_...", "secret": "new-64-char-hex", "rotatedAt": "2026-04-19T12:05:00Z" }
```

### `POST /api/v2/shipping/webhooks/{subscriberId}/reactivate`

Flips `active: true` on the record (use after investigating and fixing a delivery failure that caused deactivation).

```json
{ "subscriberId": "wh_...", "active": true }
```

### Delivery format

```
POST <callbackUrl>
Content-Type: application/json
X-WM-Signature: sha256=<HMAC-SHA256(body, secret)>
X-WM-Delivery-Id: <ulid>
X-WM-Event: chokepoint.disruption

{
  "subscriberId": "wh_...",
  "chokepointId": "hormuz_strait",
  "score": 74,
  "alertThreshold": 60,
  "triggeredAt": "2026-04-19T12:03:00Z",
  "reason": "ais_congestion_spike",
  "details": { ... }
}
```

The delivery worker re-resolves `callbackUrl` before each send and re-checks against `PRIVATE_HOSTNAME_PATTERNS` to mitigate DNS rebinding. Delivery is at-least-once — consumers must handle duplicates via `X-WM-Delivery-Id`.
