What Tracking One is
Tracking One provides container and air-cargo tracking through a web app and REST API, plus vessel schedules, route distance, and transit time. Container searches accept container, bill of lading, or booking numbers and return events, ports, vessel details, and AIS position when available. Air searches use master or house air waybills and booking references to show cargo events, route flights, airports, pieces, and weight. Container and air tracking require separate subscriptions, while API and web usage share a plan balance. Each tracking number counts once per calendar month; repeat checks in that month are free, and unused shipments expire at period end. Guests can track one shipment daily, while registered users receive 10 bonus shipments without a card. Widgets can display shipment cards on another site. Paid public tiers reach 100 monthly shipments or air waybills before enterprise pricing.
