description: 'Emirates SkyCargo is the air cargo division of Emirates Airline, headquartered at Dubai International Airport
  in the United Arab Emirates, moving general freight, pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals, valuables, mail and courier
  traffic across a network of more than 140 destinations on six continents using both freighters and passenger-aircraft bellyhold
  capacity. In the shipment chain it is the airborne carrier leg sitting between the freight forwarder and the ground handler,
  and it books almost exclusively through intermediaries rather than shippers directly. Its API posture is advertised but
  not published: Emirates SkyCargo states on its own Digital Booking Channels page that it offers "a direct API connection
  to your in-house system" covering booking creation, amendments, cancellations and track and trace, yet there is no developer
  portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI or AsyncAPI document, no base URL and no self-serve signup anywhere on skycargo.com.
  Access is obtained only by emailing SkyCargoAPISupport@emirates.com to negotiate a host-to-host connection, by integrating
  through the CargoWise transport management system, by submitting Freight Forwarding Requests over EDI, or by booking through
  the WebCargo, CargoAi, Pelicargo and cargo.one marketplaces, which themselves require IATA/CASS accreditation. The one standard
  the organization documents on its own surface is IATA e-AWB: agents must sign the IATA Multilateral e-AWB Agreement before
  submitting FWB and FHL cargo messages over EDI messaging. This is an EDI-and-bilateral-integration carrier with a customer-contract
  portal veneer, not a public API provider.'

  name: Emirates SkyCargo Host-to-Host API
  description: A direct system-to-system API that Emirates SkyCargo advertises on its own Digital Booking Channels page, described
    as connecting a freight forwarder's in-house system for real-time instant booking confirmation 24/7, with booking creation,
    amendments, cancellations and track and trace. No technical contract is published — there is no developer portal, no API
    reference, no machine-readable specification, no documented base URL, no authentication documentation and no self-serve
    onboarding. The only published route to access is an email to SkyCargoAPISupport@emirates.com with the subject "Host to
    Host Connection Via API", which starts a commercial integration project. Listed here because the organization publicly
    asserts the API exists and names its capabilities, not because a callable contract was found.
