Cargomatic

Cargomatic is a technology-enabled marketplace for local freight and drayage that connects shippers with a network of more than 35,000 professional truck drivers across the top 20 ports in the continental United States. Its platform automates quoting, booking, dispatch, tracking, and document exchange for drayage, intermodal, less-than-truckload (LTL), full-truckload (FTL), and white-glove final-mile delivery. Cargomatic exposes a public REST API (the Cargomatic Public API) so shippers and carriers can automate the same quoting, order-creation, shipment-status, stop-management, driver-assignment, and document workflows available in the Cargomatic portal, authenticating with JWT bearer tokens issued from an authentication endpoint. The company is headquartered in Long Beach, California and is backed by Canaan Partners and the SoftBank Vision Fund.

Cargomatic publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Public API. Tagged areas include Company, Logistics, Freight, Drayage, and Transportation.

Cargomatic’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, FAQ, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 20 more developer resources.

  description: The Cargomatic Public API provides quoting, booking, and shipment-status operations that automate common freight
    workflows similar to features available within the Cargomatic portal. Shippers can request quotes, create orders and shipments,
    and track shipment status; carriers and drivers can accept shipments, update appointments, create and assign drivers,
    manage stops (add, arrive, complete), and exchange documents. Requests are authenticated with a JWT bearer token retrieved
    from the /auth endpoint. Sandbox credentials are provisioned by emailing apisupport@cargomatic.com, and the acceptance/sandbox
    server is https://api-acceptance.cargomatic.com.
