Kuehne+Nagel

Kuehne+Nagel International AG is a Swiss freight forwarder and contract logistics provider headquartered in Schindellegi, Switzerland, and one of the largest forwarders in the world across sea logistics, air logistics, road logistics and contract logistics. As a forwarder it sits in the intermediation layer of the supply chain — between shippers on one side and ocean carriers, airlines, hauliers, terminals and customs authorities on the other — and most of the data it exposes is carrier and terminal data it aggregates rather than originates. Its API posture is honest but conditional: a real WSO2-based developer portal at portal.api.kuehne-nagel.com lists 17 published APIs and serves every OpenAPI definition anonymously, but every subscription is customer-contract gated — a myKN account, a Kuehne+Nagel customer ID (CID) and an account manager who completes the "customer setup" are stated pre-requisites, so nobody outside a commercial relationship can call the gateway. Underneath the REST veneer the company's own connectivity page still advertises EDIFACT, ANSI X.12, Tradacoms, RosettaNet, iDOC, GS1 and CargoImp over AS2, OFTP-2, (S)FTP and VAN as the primary integration path, and its one customs "EDI" API is an unschematized pass-through. One surface — OceanEventInbox v1 — is explicitly built to the DCSA equipment-event standard, which makes Kuehne+Nagel a non-member implementer of a carrier standards body; the other sixteen APIs are proprietary Kuehne+Nagel contracts.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Kuehne+Nagel the way a machine reads it — 65 machine-readable artifacts across 17 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 — Kuehne+Nagel scores 24.0/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 28/100 (agent aware). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Kuehne+Nagel

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kuehne+Nagel. 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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Kuehne+Nagel, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
