Shipper Facilities

The facilities endpoint allows users to retrieve a list of facilities that match a given name, location, and search radius. The response includes detailed information about each facility, such as contact information, geographic coordinates, and operating hours.

Authentication

Include the following headers in your requests:

• Access-Token: The access token obtained from the "Create Access Token" endpoint.
• x-api-key: The API key provided by GenLogs. This header must be included in the request.

Permissions

Make sure that your api user is created with a role that has external-api-shipper-facilities permission

Endpoint

• URL: https://api.genlogs.io/facilities
• Method: GET

Query Parameters

• name (string, max 500 chars, required — only optional when address, website_domain, or a city + state combination is provided) The name of the facility to search for. For example, "Acme Logistics".
• address (string, max 500 chars, required — only optional when name, website_domain, or a city + state combination is provided) The address of the facility to search for. For example, "123 Main Street South".
• city (string, max 150 chars, required — only optional when name, address, or website_domain is provided) The location "city" around which to search for facilities. For example, "Boston" or "Atlanta". Must be sent together with state and must geocode successfully; unrecognized locations return empty.
• state (string, max 150 chars, required — only optional when name, address, or website_domain is provided) The location "state" around which to search for facilities. For example, "Massachusetts" or "Georgia". Must be sent together with city and must geocode successfully; unrecognized locations return empty.
• website_domain (string, optional, max 253 chars) Returns facilities whose stored contact URL contains the given domain. Provide the bare host only — e.g. acme.com, not https://www.acme.com/about. The match is case-insensitive and anchored on the host substring, so acme.com will match stored URLs like https://www.acme.com/contact, http://shipping.acme.com, and acme.com.au. Minimum accepted form is a.com (must contain a . and a 2+ character TLD). Shorter inputs return HTTP 400.
• radius (number, optional, default 20, max 150) The radius in miles within which to search around the specified location. Only takes effect when paired with a successful city + state geocode — sent alone, it has no effect.
• lot_size_category (string, optional, max 50 chars) Filter by the lot size category of the facility. Accepts one or more of Small, Medium, Large, X-Large. To pass multiple values, separate them with a pipe — e.g. Small | Medium.
• zip_code (string, optional, max 10 chars) Search for facilities by valid US zip code. Can be combined with other search parameters like name or address to further narrow results.
• include_lanes (string, optional) Accepts only true, each facility in the response includes inbound_lanes and outbound_lanes arrays containing structured freight lane data ranked by weight. Facilities with no matching lane data are excluded from the response. Enables pagination — see cursor below.
• top_n (number, optional, default 10, max 50) The number of top lanes to return per direction (inbound/outbound) per facility, ranked by weight descending. For example, top_n=5 returns the 5 highest-weighted inbound and 5 highest-weighted outbound lanes. Only takes effect when include_lanes=true.
• min_distance (number, optional, miles) Minimum distance in miles from the facility to a lane destination. Lanes closer than this threshold are excluded. For example, min_distance=200 returns only lanes where the destination is 200+ miles away. Applied before top_n. Only takes effect when include_lanes=true.
• direction (string, optional, one of: N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW) Filter lanes by compass direction from the facility. For example, direction=NE returns only lanes heading northeast. Applied before top_n. Only takes effect when include_lanes=true.
• limit (number, optional) Filter lanes by compass direction from the facility. For example, direction=NE returns only lanes heading northeast. Applied before top_n. Only takes effect when include_lanes=true.
• cursor (string, optional, opaque) Pagination cursor from the Link response header of a previous request. Do not construct, parse, or cache this value — follow the URL provided in the Link header. Only present in responses when include_lanes=true and results exceed 20 facilities.

Search facilities by name, address, zip code, city/state, website domain, or coordinates

Unified facility search. Provide at least one of: non-empty name, non-empty address, zip_code, non-empty website_domain, or both city and state (then use radius around the geocoded point). You may also pass location as latitude,longitude for radius search instead of city/state.
