This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
DAT Freight & Analytics operates the largest truckload freight marketplace in North America - the DAT One load board - along with RateView, the industry's benchmark for spot and contract freight rates drawn from hundreds of billions of dollars in real transactions. DAT exposes these products to Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and freight platforms through the DAT Developer Portal (developer.dat.com) as a RESTful API suite covering load posting and search, RateView rate lookups, BookNow instant booking, and shipment tracking.
APIs.json: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/dat-freight/refs/heads/main/apis.yml
DAT's API is not a self-serve, publicly documented API. Access is gated on two fronts:
- The developer portal is behind an account login. developer.dat.com is a Redocly-hosted portal that redirects to an OIDC sign-in; you must have a DAT account and request developer access (developersupport@dat.com) to read the reference.
- Access is subscription-gated. A RESTful integration requires a DAT One load board subscription plus a service (organization) account. The RateView Rate Lookup API additionally requires a Combo Pro or Combo Premium subscription. CarrierWatch and OnBoard do not currently support RESTful API integration.
Authentication is a documented two-tier token model: an organization token is minted from service-account (organization) credentials, and a user token is minted for the specific user account making requests. The user token is then sent as a Bearer token on data requests.
Because the portal reference could not be inspected during this catalog build (account-gated), the OpenAPI, Postman, and Open Collection artifacts here are honestly modeled from DAT's publicly documented capabilities (LoadSearch for postings, RateView for analytics, BookNow, Tracking) and its documented organization/user token auth. The host split - identity.api.dat.com, freight.api.dat.com, analytics.api.dat.com - and the exact paths and schemas are a plausible model, not confirmed facts, and should be reconciled once portal access is granted. See review.yml (endpointsModeled: true).
