Kargo

Kargo (Kargo Technologies, kargo.ai) builds an AI-powered smart loading dock for warehouses and distribution centers. Camera towers (Kargo Tower) and forklift-mounted cameras (Kargo Lift) apply computer vision to every pallet that moves through a dock door, reading LPN, SKU, lot code and expiration-date labels to automate shipping and receiving, verify loads and shipments, detect damage, and feed inventory visibility, shelf-life management, FSMA traceability, claims management, financial reconciliation and automated ASNs back into the customer WMS. Kargo publishes a public integration surface for that data exchange: a REST Document Intake API described by an OpenAPI 3.1 document, a public GraphQL API with open anonymous introspection, a single unified JSON endpoint, a webhook (push) API at shipment and pallet level plus a GraphQL subscription alternative, and flat-file ingest over email, SFTP or AS2. All programmatic access is Auth0 OAuth 2.0 client-credentials bearer tokens.

Kargo publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Public GraphQL API, Documents API, and SKU Master API. Tagged areas include Company, Logistics, Supply Chain, Warehouse, and Computer Vision.

The Kargo catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Kargo’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 30 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

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/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kargo-ai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
