Data API

Access

Included with Fleet, Enterprise and Fleet. Issue a key in settings; keys start with bfp_.

A key can be issued on any plan and will answer 402 until the plan includes it — so the integration is built once and starts working when the plan changes, rather than being blocked until it does. Fleet is 50,000 calls a month, Enterprise 500,000.

rob is remaining on board — the number that decides how much you can actually lift, and the one most fleet systems have to ask a master for.

    }
  ]
}

allInUsdPerMt is the one to compare on. The headline figure is not what you pay: it excludes the barge fee, the cost of the payment terms and your credit position with that supplier, and the gap between the two is routinely $10 to $40 a tonne. Sorting suppliers by usdPerMt reliably picks the wrong one.

extractionConfidence is how sure the parser was when it read the supplier’s email. Below 0.9 a person has looked at it.
