Purchasable Metadata
In the response, there is a metadata field that indicates if the given quote is purchasable or if it is missing any required fields.
We require minimal information for creating quotes (such as only providing zip codes for locations or leaving out contact phone numbers). However, in order to actually book a shipment, we must have a specific location, a description of the freight, and valid contact information for both the pickup and delivery locations.
