CargoSurge has a REST API covering bookings, shipments, tracking, invoices, customers and fleet telemetry. It is included on paid plans.
What you can do with it
- Create and update bookings and shipments, and read their milestones
- Pull tracking events for air, sea, road and courier movements
- Read and raise invoices, credit notes and payments
- Sync customers, vendors and rate cards with your own systems
- Stream fleet telemetry — positions, fuel, driver behaviour
- Receive webhooks when something changes, instead of polling
Getting access
The full reference — authentication, base URLs, rate limits, error codes and the complete OpenAPI specification — is available inside CargoSurge once you are on a paid plan.
- Sign in to your CargoSurge account
- Open Administration → API access
- Read the reference and download the OpenAPI specification
If you are evaluating CargoSurge and want to see the API before committing, talk to us — we will walk you through it.
