Zencargo is a digital freight forwarder and supply-chain visibility platform for ocean, air, road, and rail shipments. Its GraphQL API gives enterprise customers programmatic access to bookings, shipment tracking and voyage milestones, purchase orders, products, packing lists, and accounts, plus HTTP webhooks for booking and purchase-order events. The API is customer-provisioned - each account is issued a dedicated staging and production endpoint and API-key credentials by their Zencargo account manager.
Zencargo is listed with 7 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Freight Forwarding, Supply Chain, Logistics, Ocean Freight, and Shipment Tracking.
Zencargo’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 7 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/.

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)
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
Request/Response Examples+7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Delegated User Identity+6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
