Tracking One
What Tracking One is
Tracking One provides container and air shipment tracking through a web app and REST API, plus vessel schedules and route distance and transit time. Container searches accept container, bill of lading, and booking numbers, returning events, ports, vessel details, and AIS position when available. Air searches accept master or house air waybills and booking references, returning cargo events, route flights, airports, pieces, and weight. API access uses the same plan balance as the web app. A tracking number counts once per calendar month, so repeat checks that month are free; unused shipments expire at period end. Widgets can display container or air results on another site through a div and script tag. Guests can track one shipment daily, while registered users receive 10 bonus shipments without a credit card. Container and air tracking require separate subscriptions, and public paid tiers reach 100 monthly shipments or air waybills before enterprise pricing. Paid plans start at $12.00 per month for Air Starter and $16.00 per month for Ocean Starter.
