Real time Capabilities of the Carrier Recommendations Endpoint
Last updated
With the new GenLogs Real-Time API, you can instantly identify carriers with the right equipment who are currently within a 150-mile radius of your origin and are likely seeking backhauls to your destination. This unique capability allows you to see which carriers are nearby right now, providing a significant advantage in the spot market. Integrate Real-Time GenLogs data into your TMS and internal systems to unlock new opportunities, increase efficiency, and reduce empty miles.
When the real_time parameter is set to 'True', the recommendation system prioritizes real-time data by applying additional weight to recent detections near the origin of the search. While the recommendations still incorporate historical data and follow the usual logic, the real-time information takes precedence, resulting in a more dynamic focus on current activity.
The is_real_time parameter is available exclusively to premium users. Reach out to us at support@genlogs.io now to unlock Real-Time freight data.
In addition to the base parameters described in , can be also sent the parameter
real_time (boolean, optional): Determine if is needed to return recommendations including real time detections. Returns Real-Time usdot detections in recommendations, when the user has this functionality enabled.
Tip: If you receive a 403 error when using the real_time parameter, it means your user account doesn't have access to this premium feature. Please verify your access level and, if necessary, contact support at support@genlogs.io for assistance.
In addition to the base attributes described in when the carrier recommendation request includes the real_time parameter , the response will also include the following attributes
recommendations (array of CarrierRecommendation
objects): List of recommended carriers.
is_real_time: bool, flag that indicates if result are based on real time detections
is_inbound: bool
real_time_locs (dict of locations where detections are right now)
dot_number: string, usdot of the detected carrier.
current_lon: float, longitude of the detection location.
current_lat: float, latitude of the detection location.
is_inbound (bool): flag indicates when a carrier is currently inbound to the origin
