DAT Freight & Analytics

DAT Freight & Analytics operates the largest truckload freight marketplace in North America - the DAT One load board - along with RateView, the industry's benchmark for spot and contract freight rates drawn from hundreds of billions of dollars in real transactions. DAT exposes these products to Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and freight platforms through the DAT Developer Portal (developer.dat.com), a RESTful API suite covering load posting and search, RateView rate lookups, BookNow instant booking, and shipment tracking. Access is subscription-gated: RESTful integration requires a DAT One load board subscription and a service (organization) account, and RateView access requires a Combo Pro or Combo Premium plan. Every request is authenticated with a two-tier token model - an organization token issued from service-account credentials plus a user token for the account making the call.

DAT Freight & Analytics publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including BookNow API, Freight Posting API, Identity API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Freight, Trucking, Load Board, Logistics, and Freight Rates.

DAT Freight & Analytics’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, and 7 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of DAT Freight & Analytics, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
