Onward Delivery is a Denver, Colorado final-mile logistics platform, backed by Techstars, that specializes in "big and bulky" deliveries by smart-matching shippers and brokers with a nationwide network of 1,000+ box-truck carriers to better utilize otherwise-empty truck capacity. The company operates a real developer surface: a Theneo-hosted API reference at docs.onwarddelivery.com documenting a versioned (v1) REST API at api.onwarddelivery.com, organized into demand, supply, and WMS surfaces. Documented operations cover orders (create, list, update, cancel, price, order status, and manifest submission), draft manifests (create, get, list), partners (create, get, list, update, delete), subscriptions (create, get, list, update, delete), routes, jobs, activity ingest, events, and webhook management. Shipper and carrier applications run at app.onwarddelivery.com, and the platform advertises 100+ live integrations with final-mile TMS and dispatch partners.
Onward Delivery is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Logistics, Final Mile, Last Mile Delivery, and Freight.
Onward Delivery’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, changelog, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, 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.
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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
