# Link Batch to Shipment Async | AgriBackup EUDR

> Invoke the Hedera smart contract to cryptographically lock a compliant EUDR batch to a logistics shipment. Returns 202 Accepted with a jobId.

Invokes the AgriBackup Hedera smart contract to cryptographically lock a verified, compliant EUDR batch to a logistics shipment reference. This creates an immutable on-chain record binding the batch's supply-chain provenance to a specific Bill of Lading or shipment tracking ID. Because Hedera consensus takes time, this endpoint returns `202 Accepted` immediately with a `jobId`. Poll `GET /api/v1/enterprise/eudr/jobs/{jobId}` or listen for the `shipment.linked` webhook to confirm that the smart contract lock has been executed.

<Warning>
  Only batches with a `consolidatedRiskState` of `COMPLIANT` or `LOW` may be linked to a shipment. Attempting to link a `HIGH_RISK` batch returns `409 Conflict`.
</Warning>

## Request Headers

| Header            | Required | Description                                                                                                                    |

| `createdAt`            | string (ISO-8601) | Timestamp when the job was accepted.                                           |

The response also includes a `Location` header pointing to the job status endpoint.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jobId": "job_998877",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "estimatedDurationSec": 3,
  "createdAt": "2026-06-15T12:00:00Z"

## Error Responses

| Status | Meaning                                                                                                 |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `400`  | Invalid `batchId`, invalid `shipmentId`, or malformed request body.                                     |
| `401`  | Missing or invalid `X-API-Key`.                                                                         |
| `403`  | Your API key does not have permission to link this batch.                                               |
| `409`  | The batch is already linked to a shipment, or a double-spend attempt was detected on the Hedera ledger. |
| `423`  | The batch is currently being processed by another thread. Wait briefly and retry.                       |
| `429`  | Rate limit exceeded.                                                                                    |

## Async Completion — `shipment.linked` Webhook

When the Hedera smart contract lock is confirmed, AgriBackup fires a `shipment.linked` event to your registered webhook URL. The payload is signed with `X-AgriBackup-Signature` (HMAC-SHA256). After receiving this event, the batch is cryptographically immutable and ready for Due Diligence Statement generation.

    # Introduction


    AgriBackup is the cryptographic compliance engine for EU-bound commodity
    imports. Built on Deterministic Logic, Immutable Evidence, and
    High-Throughput Ingestion, our API provides Tier-1 enterprise routing for EU
    Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).


    ## The Integration Vector

    To integrate this Digital Trust Layer into your ERP, you must execute the
    following sequence:

    1. **Authentication:** Generate your `X-API-Key` from the client dashboard.

    2. **Telemetry:** Register your webhook URLs via `POST /webhooks`.

    3. **Ingestion:** Push your GeoJSON polygons via `POST /polygons`.

    4. **Logistics:** Lock the batch to a shipment via `POST /shipments/link`.


    ## Asynchronous Architecture

    Because satellite deforestation screening and Hedera DLT anchoring take
    time, ingestion endpoints return a `202 Accepted`. You must listen for the
    corresponding Webhook to confirm cryptographic execution.
