THE FRAGMENTED AIR CARGO DATA LANDSCAPE ENDS TODAY!
Implementing airfreight data connectivity is quickly transforming into a requirement of doing business. Bypass lengthy "direct integrations projects" and plug to the CargoCONNECT suite of APIs to feed your operative system or create your own B2B applications leveraging the CargoAi native integrations.
Discover the best schedule for your next air shipment in a matter of seconds using our multi-functional API that gives you real-time visibility of air cargo schedules, aircraft type information, and valuable information about upcoming flights. It includes our state-of-the-art CO2 calculator that allows you to make the most environmentally-friendly transportation decisions.
Search for available air freight capacities and rates and decide which options you’d like to book as though you were navigating our CargoMART.
Our air freight tracking capabilities help you track your shipments on hundreds of carriers until they reach their destination. It empowers your teams to track your environmental footprint with our integrated CO2 calculator.
In our Track and Trace API, we offer the options to either subscribe to an AWB or automatically receive a call back every time we detect a change in milestone
OR call the APIs every time you want to retrieve the latest status update on an AWB.
In a nutshell the first mechanism PUSH-es you the updates whenever they are available and the second one requires you to PULL (call or query) the API for a status update.
The 2 options fit different workflows and also largely depend on your estimation of how many status updates you'll need (on average) per MAWB, due to the different pricing structure.
The Search Rates and Flights/POST endpoint replicates CargoAi marketplace search results and retrieves airline flights and routes, including availability and pricing on a route level, according to the search parameters and the user configuration.
This is comparable to the initial search on the CargoAi app.
Airlines typically provide rates for search and booking lead time between 0 and 14 days before the departure date. It is very rare that airlines provide rates up to 1 month, so make sure you don't test for dates that are too far out in the future.
Your shipment details (dimensions, weight, volume etc.) should be realistic. Anything totally out of range or with dummy values in dimensions or weight/ volume will not trigger any results.
There are multiple options and we recommend to implement filters to narrow down the results in accordance with your requirements.
The free Basic account only lets you search for schedules and rates on the route CDG to BKK.

Well yes... and no. It depends which CargoCONNECT product specifically.
Both the SCHEDULES API and the TRACK API do not require any IATA CASS in the request body. Any airfreight player can start using these API and immediately gain benefits in terms of data coverage & quality and process efficiency.
The RATES & BOOK API will require you to include your IATA and CASS numbers in the request. These 2 values will be instrumental in returning the right rates from our connected airlines.
If you call our API without an IATA CASS number, airlines will not return any rate, simply because they will not be able to bill you after the AWB departure.
We're actively looking to implement a way to lift this restriction and allow you to use this API irrespective of your IATA CASS number though.
We’ve decided not to reinvent this wheel and manage our API solutions on RapidAPI, the leading API platform worldwide.
You can create a free basic account to start testing and can directly upgrade your accounts to the plan that best suits your needs when you’re ready.
