Our new SDKs and CLI wrap the AlphaLoops API so your team can build on top of carrier intelligence without the plumbing. ![AlphaLoops Developer SDKs and CLI — Now Available](https://a.storyblok.com/f/290978107134800/2816x1536/e85b1d6e59/fmcsa-sdks.jpg) We just shipped three new packages that make working with the AlphaLoops API dramatically easier. Python SDK, TypeScript SDK, and a command-line tool. No more hand-rolling HTTP requests, managing pagination, or parsing raw JSON. Install, authenticate, and start pulling carrier data in under a minute. * * * ## Why we built this Our platform already delivers carrier intelligence into Salesforce and HubSpot. But we kept hearing the same request from engineering and data teams: "Can we just hit an API?" Now you can. The SDKs wrap our REST API with typed methods, automatic pagination, built-in retries, and rate-limit handling so you can focus on what you're building instead of plumbing. Whether you're enriching a data pipeline, building internal tools, or prototyping an integration, you get direct access to carrier profiles, fleet data, inspections, crash history, contacts, and authority records across 2.3M+ carriers. * * * ## What's included ### Python SDK `pip install alphaloops-freight-sdk` Five resource modules covering the full AlphaLoops API surface: - **Carriers** — profiles by DOT or MC number, fuzzy company search with confidence scoring, authority history, and news mentions - **Fleet** — truck and trailer registrations with full pagination - **Inspections** — roadside inspection history and violation details - **Crashes** — crash records with date range and severity filters (fatal, injury, tow, property damage) - **Contacts** — people search by DOT number, company name, or seniority level, plus enrichment for verified emails, phones, and work history Every resource includes `_iter` helpers that handle pagination automatically. Config resolution is layered: pass a key directly, set `ALPHALOOPS_API_KEY`, or drop a `~/.alphaloops` file. Built-in retries, rate-limit handling, and typed exceptions (`AlphaLoopsAuthError`, `AlphaLoopsRateLimitError`, etc.) are included out of the box. python ``` from alphaloops.freight import AlphaLoops al = AlphaLoops() # reads from ~/.alphaloops or ALPHALOOPS_API_KEY carrier = al.carriers.get("2247505") print(carrier.legal_name, carrier.total_trucks) # Fuzzy search with confidence scoring results = al.carriers.search("Werner Enterprises", state="NE") # Iterate all inspections without worrying about pagination for inspection in al.inspections.list_iter("2247505"): print(inspection) # Find decision-makers contacts = al.contacts.search(dot_number="2247505", job_title_levels="c_suite") ``` ### TypeScript SDK `npm install alphaloops-freight-sdk` Same API surface, zero dependencies. Works in Node.js, Deno, Bun, or any TypeScript project. typescript ``` import AlphaLoops from "alphaloops"; const al = new AlphaLoops(); const carrier = await al.carriers.get("2247505"); console.log(carrier.legalName, carrier.totalTrucks); ``` ### CLI — `loopsh` `pip install alphaloops-freight-cli` A terminal-first interface for carrier lookups, prospecting, and scripting. Rich-formatted tables for humans, `--json` output for machines. bash ``` # Authenticate once loopsh login # Look up a carrier loopsh carriers 2247505 # Fuzzy search loopsh carriers search "JB Hunt" --state AR # Pipe JSON into scripts or agents DOT=$(loopsh --json carriers search "Swift" | jq -r '.results[0].dot_number') loopsh fleet trucks "$DOT" loopsh inspections list "$DOT" loopsh crashes list "$DOT" --severity FATAL ``` One of our favorite features: the `--python` and `--typescript` flags. Instead of executing the command, they print the equivalent SDK code. Great for prototyping in the terminal and then dropping the code into your project. bash ``` loopsh --python carriers get 2247505 # Outputs: # from alphaloops.freight import AlphaLoops # al = AlphaLoops() # result = al.carriers.get("2247505") # print(result) ``` * * * ## Who this is for **Data and engineering teams** building carrier scoring models, risk pipelines, or custom integrations. Pull fleet size, inspection history, crash severity, and authority changes directly into your stack. **RevOps and sales engineers** scripting account enrichment or CRM sync workflows. Use the CLI to do quick carrier lookups from the terminal, or automate nightly enrichment runs with the SDK. **AI and automation builders** using agents or MCP tools. The `--json` flag and structured error handling make AlphaLoops easy to plug into agentic workflows. * * * ## Get started 1.
