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.

  1. Sign in to your CargoSurge account
  2. Open Administration → API access
  3. 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.
