Will the API be included with our ClassIT+ subscription or is it an additional cost?
The ClassIT+ API is not included in your ClassIT+ subscription; however, if you purchase the ClassIT+ API, then you automatically receive one (1) license for ClassIT+ so you can manage your API subscription.
Will documentation and sample requests be available for the new ClassIT+ API?
Yes, we will provide API documentation and SDKs. A preview of the API documentation will be available on February 25, 2025.
Will there be a Sandbox available so we can test the new ClassIT+ API and our connection?
Yes, we will have a Sandbox available for testing the new ClassIT+ API. Starting February 25, 2025, you will be able to test your connection. Starting May 13, 2025, you will be able to fully test the API and its features.
Will there be a new API/Web Service License Agreement?
Yes, we will have a complete transition process for our existing ClassIT API subscribers so you can specify your intent to migrate over to the new ClassIT+ API and agree to our new license agreement.
Should we anticipate significant changes to the basic structure of the Classification data itself (e.g., Item & Description > Sub & Description > Class)?
No, there will not be any significant changes to the basic structure of the Classification data.
Do you anticipate supporting any batch-related methods with the API or only one individual search at a time?
The original intention is to provide singular responses for most scenarios so you can retrieve precisely what you are seeking while enabling us to maintain high availability and rapid response times. However, there is potential that we will provide batch responses for specific cases.
We perform our updates after the Docket is approved and the weekend before the Supplement goes into effect. Will this still be possible with the new API?
Yes, the updates will be available for implementation 7 days prior to the effective date.
How does the API address risks related to inaccurate or outdated NMFC data being accessed in real-time
Both the ClassIT+ website and API will pull from the same set of underlying data. This means that there will be no disconnect between what is displayed in one or the other. Both will pull from the same source that has been vetted through our well-established review and approval process, ensuring the most up-to-date and accurate data.
If we have a density-based item, and we know the NMFC code and density of that item, can we retrieve the freight class through the API?
Yes, there will be calls where we'll return more detailed information such as items, item numbers, and all the density subs. If you know the item number and the density, you'll be able to see the subs and pair them up with the class that matches that density.
Do you have Carriers who will use the API to integrate with Freight Bill Entry Systems or is this a standalone tool to support Rate or Customer Service employees?
Yes, we do and expect more Carriers to use the ClassIT+ API to integrate with their Freight Bill Entry System.

How does NMFTA plan to adapt the ClassIT+ API to accommodate existing and emerging compliance requirements?
ClassIT+ is designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, enabling it to easily adapt to emerging compliance requirements. By incorporating modular frameworks and regular updates, the system can quickly integrate new compliance protocols as they arise, ensuring that our operations stay ahead of evolving standards.
