DAT Tracking API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: DAT Freight & Analytics API (Modeled)
  description: >-
    A modeled OpenAPI description of the DAT Freight & Analytics RESTful API
    suite exposed through the DAT Developer Portal (developer.dat.com). DAT
    operates the DAT One load board and RateView freight-rate benchmark and
    offers RESTful integrations for load posting and search, RateView rate
    lookups, BookNow instant booking, and shipment tracking, primarily for
    Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and freight platforms.


    IMPORTANT - MODELED: The developer portal is gated behind an account
    login (Redocly OIDC), so the exact base URLs, endpoint paths, request
    parameters, and response schemas below could NOT be confirmed against the
    live reference in this build. They are honestly modeled from DAT's publicly
    documented capabilities (LoadSearch for postings, RateView for analytics)
    and its documented two-tier organization/user token authentication. The host
    names (identity.api.dat.com, freight.api.dat.com, analytics.api.dat.com)
    represent the plausible service split and should be reconciled against the
    portal once access is granted.


    Access is subscription-gated. RESTful integration requires a DAT One load
    board subscription plus a service (organization) account; RateView access
    requires a Combo Pro or Combo Premium subscription. CarrierWatch and OnBoard
    do not currently support RESTful API integration. Contact
    developersupport@dat.com for portal access.
