Show HN: Karrio – Open-Source Multi-Carrier Shipping API
Hey HN!
Daniel and Delali here; we are working on Karrio, an open-source shipping infrastructure. Our focus is on making it easy to integrate shipping into platforms.
With Karrio’s open-source and universal shipping API, you can set up connections to a worldwide network of shipping carriers for national, international and last-mile services but also build your own network of local carriers. You can seamlessly add built-in shipping functionalities to your platform, enabling users to fetch live rates, buy labels, track packages, and more. You can check out our Github repo here: https://github.com/karrioapi/karrio https://github.com/karrioapi/karrio.
For developers in the logistics space, carrier integration is often a painful experience. We believe that an open-source solution is a viable alternative to building a shipping system from scratch in-house or getting locked in with a Saas multi-carrier API. Karrio aims to put you in control of your shipping network with lower engineering costs.
(see how to get started here: https://docs.karrio.io/quick-start https://docs.karrio.io/quick-start).
So far, we’ve built a unified shipping API compatible with most major carriers, such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, Canada Post, and more. With the flexibility of open-source, Karrio has interoperability with other multi-carriers and 3PL (EasyPost, Freightcom, etc.).
And we plan on building more integrations. Karrio is evolving with the help of our community of early adopters, and we want to keep that going.

We currently offer a managed cloud service in private beta, with a pay-as-you-go plan for platforms and custom prices for enterprise customers.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We would love to hear your feedback and how Karrio can help with your project.
- shmoogy 3y agoThis looks interesting. We use Convey APIs to connect to LTL carriers, and I built integrations for our system to connect to FreightClub, Standard Logistics, Convey, UPS, and FedEx. I love seeing more options in this segment.
- dan91 3y agoThanks, many devs find themselves having to combine many integrations like this. We hope an open-source solution could be helpful. We have the concept of Generic carrier that some of our users use to for LTL carriers without their own APIs. We are hoping to create a network like Convey but decentralized thanks to open-source.
