Best file to integrate order raising API to 3rd party logistics system?

Hi All,
Hope everyone is well.
Just need some advice from the mage experts here!!
I’m very new to magento - and I’m migrating all of my stores from osCommerce to magento, so yay!
I need to integrate my new magento install with my existing 3rd party logistic system.
So when an order processed (has been paid for through the payment gateway) at the same time / or just right after.
I need to make some calls with the order details (shipping address, etc.) to the 3rd party server using a PHP API.
Could someone point me in the right direction about what file do you think is best to integrate this type of API call into?
Idealy it would be a page that has all the order information already loaded into an array (so I don’t have to do another db query).
In osCommerce I had it in checkout_process.php - is there an equivalent in mage?
Thanks so much for your help!!

Let 's hook into the events of the Models, you can look at these hooks

Code:

---

sales_quote_save_before
sales_quote_save_after
