Events API for Logistics

Events API for Logistics

Multiple data streams in just one API

When you’re in the business of freight, transport, supply chain or logistics, careful planning can have a huge impact on your bottom line. Enhancing your planning processes with event-based insight improves efficiency and reduces operational costs in the process. But how do you decide which events might impact your business without spending countless hours trawling through potentially unhelpful data? We’ve got you covered. PredictHQ’s API makes it easy to see at a glance when scheduled events like school holidays and public holidays, along with unscheduled events like natural disasters or terror, are happening, so your logistics team can make well-founded decisions in advance and on the fly. We collate and aggregate local, national and international scheduled and unscheduled events into one handy place, so you can see what events are happening and when, and keep your supply chain processes running smoothly.

Ranked Events

Not sure what events matter most? Don’t worry - we’ve sorted them for you

Logistics involves a lot of, well, logistics to ensure efficient processes, on-time deliveries and the best results for everyone concerned. However, local, national and international events have the power to impact logistics by increasing demand, delaying transport times and altering routes. PredictHQ’s API gives you access to millions of global events across 18 categories - and counting - so you can pre-empt which scheduled events like school holidays and public holidays might impact your business, and react swiftly to unscheduled events like severe weather, natural disasters or terror as soon as they happen. Our smart ranking algorithm, built right here at PredictHQ, assigns a numerical rank to every single event we store, so you can filter from major to minor events and see at a glance which ones you should pay special attention to.

We also have Python and JavaScript SDKs available, and we use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication with access tokens required to grant application access to the tools available in the API. Your developers won’t need to spend precious time capturing, cleaning and maintaining disparate data sources because we do it for them, plus our API is versioned for easier maintenance. Sound like smart logistics? We think so too.
