Portcast Tracking Data API

openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Portcast Container Tracking Augmentation Tracking Data API
  description: Portcast Container Tracking API returns the full journey of an ocean container - standardized milestone events, vessel schedules, port codes, transport plan, delays, terminal data, CO2 emissions, and machine-learning predicted ETAs and ETDs - in a single JSON response. Shipments are tracked by container number, by booking or bill of lading number, plus a carrier SCAC code (or AUTO for auto-detection). An optional callback_url registers a Push (webhook) endpoint that Portcast posts the tracking object to on every update.
