Updateable Cargado objects, including Load and Carrier, have a metadata parameter. You can use this parameter to attach key-value data to these Cargado objects. You can specify up to 50 keys, with key names up to 40 characters long and values up to 500 characters long. You can use metadata to store additional structured information on an object. For example, you could store a unique internal identifier from your system on a Load object. Cargado doesn’t use metadata—for example, we don’t use it to make decisions in our systems and it won’t be seen by other organizations. It is meant purely for integration purposes, and can help avoid having to store data in the integration.

Sample metadata use cases

  • Link IDs: Attach your system’s unique IDs to a Cargado object to simplify lookups. For example, add your order number to a load, your load owner user ID to a load, or a unique carrier ID to a Carrier.
