GetSwift API
GetSwift exposes a public REST API V2 for last-mile delivery: quote, book, and track deliveries, with webhooks on lifecycle events. Auth is a single merchant API key that must stay server-side, there are no first-party SDKs, and the lone V2 version has no deprecation policy.

GetSwift scores C on the API Report Card. GetSwift exposes a public REST API V2 for last-mile delivery: quote, book, and track deliveries, with webhooks on lifecycle events. Auth is a single merchant API key that must stay server-side, there are no first-party SDKs, and the lone V2 version has no deprecation policy.
GetSwift has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood.
GetSwift is a cloud-based last-mile delivery management platform.
Vertical: Fleet / Trucking / Logistics, specifically last-mile delivery management, dispatch and driver tracking. Dispatchers, fleet/operations managers and drivers use GetSwift to: book deliveries (one-off or in bulk), auto-assign/route jobs to the best available driver, optimize multi-stop routes, run a dispatcher dashboard with live map view, push jobs to a driver mobile app (iOS/Android) with turn-by-turn navigation, capture proof of delivery (signature + photo), send customer ETA/tracking SMS/email, take online customer orders (via the merchant template), and reconcile per-task delivery fees.
4/10 within last-mile delivery dispatch SaaS.
Where GetSwift is in production it is the system of record for last-mile delivery operations.
Founded 2015 (rebranded from 2013-era Liquorun).
API key is a single shared secret per merchant; exposure leads to fraudulent bookings and account deactivation. Only a single 'V2' API version is documented, no dated versioning, no formal deprecation policy. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Onfleet, Bringg, DispatchTrack, FarEye, Wise Systems, URBANTZ. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial GetSwift API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write GetSwift data. See the GetSwift integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/getswift-api.
