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 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Document Intake API and Public GraphQL 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 28 more developer resources.
