GenLogs

GenLogs is a truck intelligence platform that provides ground-truth data on every motor carrier in America from a nationwide network of proprietary roadside sensors, satellites, and millions of data sources - 4.2 billion commercial-vehicle images with 16 million added daily, covering 97% of active motor carriers. The GenLogs API (https://api.genlogs.io) turns that sensor network into freight intelligence: source and score carriers by lane, verify a carrier was recently sighted along an origin/destination, pull carrier and FMCSA profiles, run carrier-vetting rules, discover shippers by lane and shipper facilities with GeoJSON network maps, manage onboarded-carrier contacts, track mismatch observations, and receive HMAC-SHA512-signed alert webhooks. It serves brokers and shippers, insurance underwriting and claims, law enforcement asset recovery, and carriers. Auth uses an x-api-key plus a short-lived Access-Token, with named per-endpoint permissions.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles GenLogs the way a machine reads it — 16 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — GenLogs scores 45.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 52/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile GenLogs

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for GenLogs. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

GenLogs Alerts API

The Alerts API from GenLogs — 2 operation(s) for alerts.

GenLogs auth API

Access-token creation and refresh

GenLogs Carrier API

The Carrier API from GenLogs — 3 operation(s) for carrier.

GenLogs carrier-vetting API

Carrier verification and vetting rules

GenLogs Compliance Rules API

The Compliance Rules API from GenLogs — 3 operation(s) for compliance rules.

GenLogs Facilities API

The Facilities API from GenLogs — 2 operation(s) for facilities.

GenLogs Mismatch alerts API

The Mismatch alerts API from GenLogs — 2 operation(s) for mismatch alerts.

GenLogs Onboarded Carriers API

The Onboarded Carriers API from GenLogs — 3 operation(s) for onboarded carriers.

GenLogs Shipper API

The Shipper API from GenLogs — 1 operation(s) for shipper.

GenLogs Webhook Alerts API

The Webhook Alerts API from GenLogs — 3 operation(s) for webhook alerts.

Event Specifications 2

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

GenLogs Alert Webhooks

GenLogs delivers alert.matches_found webhook notifications when detection alerts (license plate, VIN, USDOT, etc.) match roadside sensor observations. Payloads are signed with a...

JSON Schema 1

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
