Track & Trace

Track your booking updates and milestones with our Track & Trace API. Use our flight UUID or AWB endpoints for your shipment details. Stay informed effortlessly with our tracking subscription service.

Effortlessly monitor the status and measure the carbon footprint of your Air Cargo shipments across a vast network of over 190 airlines with the Track & Trace API.

For ad-hoc requests and single-instance tracking updates, please utilize our Pull tracking model. With our Track & Trace by Flight UUID, you can make ad-hoc requests for updates on your booking status, flight itinerary, and shipment details. If you prefer to make ad-hoc requests for tracking milestones associated with your booking, our Track & Trace by AWB feature is here to assist you to stay informed about important milestones such as departure, arrival, and customs clearance.

For those who wish to remain seamlessly informed without missing any updates, we offer a convenient Tracking Subscription endpoint (Push tracking model). By subscribing, you’ll receive tracking updates directly on your preferred channel, be it through a URL or via email. Additionally, you are able to unsubscribe from updates any time via our Tracking Unsubscription endpoint.

Tracking Subscription

This API endpoint is designed for subscribing to our Track & Trace updates. By providing a URL or email address, you’ll seamlessly receive tracking updates directly from our system, eliminating the need to call our API.

Typically, updates are pushed on a regular basis, but the frequency may vary based on factors like the partner or the channel used.

When making a Tracking Subscription request, you can specify an API URL (sent via POST) or an email address, or both.

Please reach out to our Support Team support+rapidAPI@cargoai.co to request the email template and objects description for further guidance about the update you will receive.

If you opt to receive updates solely via email, ensure the “url” field matches the email list field.

Please note: if you’re using our Tracking Subscription by URL feature, it’s important to know that we can’t take responsibility for your callback URL and its functionality. Everything from the integration to making sure your URL is working properly falls on you and your development team. We’re here to support you along the way, but just remember that this part is up to you!

Tracking Unsubscription

With this API endpoint you can seamlessly stop receiving tracking updates directly from our system by providing the subscribed URL or email address, should you wish to discontinue the service.
