About

Freightos runs an online freight marketplace and rate tools for forwarders and carriers. Its developer portal at developers.freightos.com registers apps, issues API keys, and documents the CO2 Emission Estimator: a calculator that turns shipment legs and load units into CO2 equivalent and energy figures under EN 16258:2021. The same portal hosts a Freight Rate Estimator for air, ocean, trucking, and courier lanes, which returns broad estimates rather than bookable rates.

Through Fibric, an operator calls the calculator for each shipment it already knows about, files the result against that shipment, and uses the rate estimate as a yardstick when it reviews a forwarder's invoice. Nothing is booked. Every figure is labelled as an estimate and carries the leg data it was computed from.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Freightos and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Well-to-wheels and tank-to-wheels CO2e and energy totals per shipment and per leg from POST /co2calc, following EN 16258:2021
  • Emissions for air, FCL, FCL_reefer, LCL, LTL, rail, barge, roRo, and express legs, keyed by airport code, UN/LOCODE, coordinates, or address
  • Load units by quantity, unitType (boxes, pallets, container20 through container53, LD1 through LD11), unitWeightKg, and unitVolumeCBM
  • A shortDeclaration and a text report returned with each calculation, alongside the numbers
  • Freight rate and transit-time estimates for air, ocean FCL and LCL, trucking, and courier from the Freight Rate Estimator: broad estimates, not actual rates
  • Service health from GET /co2hc

Proposed actions

Read-only. Actions need a separate connector.

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Attach an emissions figure to every shipment

    For each shipment leg the operator posts mode, endpoints, and load units to /co2calc and files the Ew and Et totals with the shipment record, ready for Scope 3 reporting.

    With Compliance Evidence

  • Check a freight invoice against a market estimate

    The operator compares a forwarder's invoice with the Freight Rate Estimator's range for the same lane and mode, then flags lines that sit well outside it for a person to review.

    With Freight Audit

  • Put a freight line on a purchase order draft

    When a purchase order is drafted, the operator adds an estimated freight cost and an emissions figure for the lane, so the approver sees landed cost as well as unit price.

Requirements

  • A developer account on developers.freightos.com and an app registered under My Apps with the API product enabled
  • An API key sent as the x-apikey header against https://api.freightos.com/api/v1, or the sandbox host for testing
  • Shipment legs with a mode and two endpoints, plus load units with weight or volume, so the calculator has enough to work from
  • Acceptance of the Freightos terms for APIs, which govern the volume and frequency of calls
Authentication
An API key from an app registered on the Freightos developer portal, sent as the x-apikey header.

Limits

  • The CO2 API is in Beta, provided free, as is, with no warranty; the spec says actual emissions may vary considerably from the estimate.
  • Only the CO2 Emission Estimator spec is served without signing in; the Freight Rate Estimator appears on the portal as an embeddable tool.
  • The HS-code Duties API was documented on the legacy developer.freightos.com portal, which did not respond when this listing was written.
  • Freightos may throttle or end access for excessive calls, and its API terms may cap call volume, call rate, and look-to-book ratio.

Questions and answers

What does the CO2 estimate contain?
Four totals: Ew and Et are kilograms of CO2 equivalent, well-to-wheels and tank-to-wheels; Gw and Gt are the matching energy figures. Each leg gets the same four in legsData, and the response adds shortDeclaration and report text. The method follows EN 16258:2021, and the spec warns that actual emissions may vary considerably.
Can you book freight through this connector?
No. The developer-portal API this listing documents estimates emissions. The Freight Rate Estimator gives broad estimates, and Freightos says organizations seeking bookable rates should request access to its Freight as a Service tools. Booking is outside this listing.
Is there a sandbox?
Yes. The spec lists https://sandbox.freightos.com/api/v1 alongside https://api.freightos.com/api/v1, and GET /co2hc answers as a health check on either. The same x-apikey header applies to both.
