Introduction

Welcome to CoyoteGO's API Documentation. Carriers can use our APIs to search for and book themselves on available loads and submit or retrieve load related documents. Shippers can access instant Truckload and Less-than-Truckload quotes, build loads, and retrieve real time tracking updates.

If you're an existing Coyote Carrier or Shipper, and want to utilize the API, you can request an API key through your Coyote sales rep or by emailing [email protected].

North American Partners: By accessing or using the CoyoteGO APIs or the API Technical Documentation for the CoyoteGO APIs, you are agreeing to the Coyote North American API Terms of Use.

Authentication

Once you've received your API key, you can now access the sandbox environment where you can begin to work with the endpoints.

To retrieve a token, POST to api.coyote.com/connect/token, specifying the following token request parameters:

client_id (provided by integrations team) client_secret (provided by integrations team) scope (ExternalApi) grant_type (client_credentials)

Example:

POST /connect/token client_id=client1& client_secret=api_key& grant_type=client_credentials& scope=ExternalApi

Pass your token as a bearer token in an Authorization header.

Of note: The API is organized around REST. All requests should be made over SSL. All API request and response bodies are encoded in JSON. Token requests must be form-urlencoded.

To test your requests and responses, use api-sandbox.coyote.com with your sandbox API key.
