Policies
Polling cadence
Container tracking and vessel schedule APIs reward periodic polling rather than burst reads; align polling intervals with the change frequency of the underlying carrier feeds.
Backoff strategy
Implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses; coordinate batch booking windows with the CargoSmart/IQAX technical contact.
Authentication scoping
Each customer/partner uses scoped API credentials; rate caps are enforced per credential.
