Getting started

CarrierCloud is Tranztec's Universal Transportation API. It puts the Tranztec Platform's Partner Network behind one REST API so carriers, customers, agents and other partners can share loads, stops, equipment, drivers and tracking data with the parties they have approved.

What you need

An API key, issued by Tranztec. See Authentication and API keys.
A partner code for each company whose data you will read or write. Your key identifies your own company; the partner code names the other party. The call succeeds only when the two companies have an approved, API-enabled partnership. See The Partner Network.

Base URL

Code
https://carriercloud.ai

Every partner-scoped route has the shape /v1/partner/{partnercode}/....

Your first call

List the partners your key may act for. This route needs no partner code because it describes your own network:

Code
curl https://carriercloud.ai/v1/partners \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Code
[
  {
    "Id": "224381ec762262f599a702f00fc1387d",
    "Code": "MIST",
    "Name": "Mission Transportation",
    "AccessApproved": true
  }
]

Take a Code from the response and read that partner's loads:

Code
curl "https://carriercloud.ai/v1/partner/MIST/loads?page=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Lists come back as a JSON array of up to 100 records per page. An empty result is a 404 with a short plain-text body such as No orders found., not an empty array. Requests, pagination and dates explains the conventions.
