Air Tracking API
Track air cargo on the Tracking One API by air waybill number.
What you can track
Send an AWB number - the airline's three-digit prefix and its eight-digit serial - and get back the shipment's current status, the milestones it has already passed, the flights and airports on its route, and the estimated time of arrival, as one JSON response in the same shape whichever airline issued the waybill.
An AWB names its airline in its own prefix, so there is nothing else to pass. Get Supported Airlines returns the airlines we track with the prefix each one issues, which is what an integration should check a waybill against before it spends a request on it.
Endpoints

Both are read-only and answer JSON. Ocean freight is documented separately, under Container Tracking API.
Getting access
Every request carries an API key as a bearer token; create one in your dashboard. A shipment is billed once per calendar month however many times you ask about it, so polling a waybill that is still in transit costs no more than looking it up once - the pricing page has the current terms.
