NexusFeed is a data API for two things that are painful to extract and critical to get right: LTL freight fuel surcharges from the ten largest U.S. national carriers, and ABC liquor license status from California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois. Every response carries a _verifiability block with a source timestamp, a deterministic confidence score, the raw evidence URL on the upstream agency or carrier site, the extraction method that was used, and a freshness TTL. If you are wiring an agent, a compliance pipeline, or an invoice auditor, that block is the difference between “plausible JSON” and “defensible data.”

LTL Fuel Surcharge API

Current and historical fuel surcharge rates for ODFL, Saia, Estes, ABF, R+L, TForce, XPO, SEFL, Averitt, and FedEx Freight — with the DOE diesel price that triggered each rate.

ABC License Lookup API

Search and direct-lookup liquor licenses across CA, TX, NY, FL, and IL. Returns license status, expiration, license type, holder, and address — cached 24 hours.

​
Who this is for

NexusFeed was built for developers shipping agentic workflows, compliance tooling, and freight-cost automation. The typical consumer is either:
  • An AI agent calling the API via the MCP server (pip install nexusfeed-mcp), during a user-facing conversation about freight rates or liquor license compliance.
  • A backend service calling the REST endpoints directly from a freight brokerage TMS, a liquor distributor onboarding flow, an insurance underwriting pipeline, or a 3PL invoice auditor.
If you have a human filling out a form on a state ABC website, or a developer copy-pasting fuel surcharge PDFs into a spreadsheet, this API is the replacement.

​
What makes it different

Every response includes _verifiability.raw_data_evidence_url pointing directly to the upstream source. Confidence is computed deterministically from the count of required fields that were successfully extracted — it is never hard-coded. If you are pasting license data into a compliance decision, you can cite the source and a timestamp in the same JSON payload. See Verifiability.
The same data is available over HTTP (X-API-Key) for conventional services and over Model Context Protocol for Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client. Install with pip install nexusfeed-mcp, point it at your API key, and the tools appear in your agent.
Extractors prefer hidden JSON endpoints (ODFL, Averitt) when available, Playwright DOM parsing when not (Saia, Estes, R+L, TForce, XPO, SEFL), and ScraperAPI render-API bypass for the adversarial ones (FedEx Freight, Illinois ILCC’s Akamai-protected Salesforce Experience Cloud portal). TX TABC’s image CAPTCHA is solved via 2Captcha. When the primary path fails, fallbacks trigger automatically and the response reports the method that actually ran.
LTL fuel surcharges cache for 7 days (carriers publish weekly). ABC license data caches for 24 hours. The _verifiability.data_freshness_ttl_seconds field tells you exactly how fresh a given response is allowed to be.
