Download the weekly market rate export

With a custom Enterprise plan, download a weekly CSV of market rates for every lane Cargado prices, through the API.

With a custom Enterprise plan, you can download a weekly CSV file of market rates across all lanes instead of looking lanes up one at a time. You get the files through the API with your company's API key.

Step 1: Check that your plan includes it

The weekly export is not sold on its own. It is available only as part of a custom Enterprise plan. If your plan does not include it, the API answers Market rate export requires an Enterprise plan. Contact sales@cargado.com to upgrade.

Step 2: Get an API key

Email success@cargado.com and ask for a key with the market rates permission. The Cargado team creates it. See Get an API key for your integration.

Step 3: Download the latest week

Call GET /rates/history-exports with no dates. You get back a link to the latest weekly file. Download the CSV from that link. Each link works for one hour, so call again if yours has expired.

Each market week runs Tuesday through Monday, and there is one file per week. The file for a week is ready by early Tuesday morning, Central Time, after that week closes on Monday. If you automate the download, schedule it for Tuesday morning or later.

Code: GET /rates/history-exports with snapshotStart and snapshotEnd, outlined in blue, returning signed CSV links with day and expiresAt. Beside it, the CSV columns from start_date to trailer_category with two sample rows for Monterrey, NLE to Chicago, IL. — Each weekly file lists every lane; links expire, so download promptly.

Step 4: Backfill past weeks

To get older files, add snapshotStart and snapshotEnd as dates (YYYY-MM-DD). You must send both or neither. One call returns links for up to 20 weekly files.

What is in the file

Each row is one lane for one week:

The week's start and end dates.
Low, Mid and High (p25, p50, p75) as a total and per mile, in USD.
Margin of error, relative margin of error and confidence score.
Origin and destination market: ID, code, name, country and whether it is an extended market.
The border crossing, and whether it is the suggested one.
Trailer category.

The export is in USD only. For pesos or Canadian dollars, use a lookup in the app or the API. See Get market rates through the API and How to read a market rate.
