Step 1 — Get a token

POST https://www.truktek.com/api/auth/device
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "passphrase": "amber-cargo-freight-river"
}

Response 200 OK

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...",
  "expiresAt": "2027-07-09T00:00:00.000Z",
  "user": {
    "id": "abc123",
    "email": "dispatch@yourcompany.com",
    "companyId": "1234567",
    "dotnumber": "1234567"
  }
}

Store the token securely. You can regenerate your passphrase from Profile at any time — doing so immediately invalidates any tokens issued from the previous one.

Step 2 — Use the token

Include the token in every request as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...

Query parameters

Example request

GET https://www.truktek.com/api/mileage?from=30301&to=90210
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...

curl

curl "https://www.truktek.com/api/mileage?from=30301&to=90210" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9..."

Response 200 OK

{
  "from": { "zip": "30301", "city": "Atlanta", "state": "GA" },
  "to":   { "zip": "90210", "city": "Beverly Hills", "state": "CA" },
  "miles": 2183,
  "matchedLane": {
    "from": "Atlanta, GA",
    "to": "Los Angeles, CA"
  }
}

matchedLane shows the TomTom reference lane that was used to produce the mileage figure. It may differ slightly from the exact zip pair when no lane originates at the precise zip location.

Points with no NWS coverage (e.g. offshore midpoints) return an error string instead of periods. Weather data is sourced from the US National Weather Service and is only available for the continental US.

Request body

Example request

POST https://www.truktek.com/api/bandit
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "message": "Find reefer loads from Atlanta GA to Dallas TX pickup tomorrow",
  "history": []
}

Response — SSE stream

The response is Content-Type: text/event-stream. Each event is a line beginning with data: followed by a JSON object, terminated by .

data: {"type":"tool_start","tool":"search_loads","label":"Searching Atlanta GA → Dallas TX · Reefer…"}

data: {"type":"tool_result","tool":"search_loads","label":"Found 8 loads (8 total)","ok":true}

data: {"type":"text","content":"Found 8 reefer loads from Atlanta to Dallas picking up tomorrow."}

data: {"type":"text","content":" Best rate is $2.31/mi ($1,940 total). Want me to shortlist the top 3?"}

data: {"type":"done","history":[...]}

SSE event types

Reading the stream — JavaScript example

const res = await fetch("https://www.truktek.com/api/bandit", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ message: "Find reefer loads Atlanta to Dallas", history: [] }),
});

const reader = res.body.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
let buffer = "";
let history = [];

while (true) {
  const { done, value } = await reader.read();
  if (done) break;
  buffer += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });

  const parts = buffer.split("\n\n");
  buffer = parts.pop() ?? "";

  for (const part of parts) {
    if (!part.startsWith("data: ")) continue;
    const event = JSON.parse(part.slice(6));

    if (event.type === "text") process.stdout.write(event.content);
    if (event.type === "done") history = event.history; // save for next turn
  }
}
