Cargoson

Cargoson is an Estonian B2B cloud transport management software (TMS) platform for manufacturers and wholesalers. Its unified REST API lets shippers request freight rates, book shipments, generate labels, and track deliveries across 2,000+ carriers using one set of endpoints, authentication, and data formats. Cargoson is carrier-neutral; customers contract directly with their own carriers and upload their own freight rates.

Cargoson publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Carriers API, Price Requests API, Shipments API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Transport Management, TMS, Freight, Shipping, and Logistics.

Cargoson’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cargoson: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
