X3 API Get a key
The Compliance API

The compliance API that powers X3 — now open to your product.

Every X3 Fleet Safety product runs on one engine: verbatim 49 CFR, a 67,000-document compliance knowledge base, 200+ grounded compliance agents, and live carrier safety data by USDOT. Now you can build on the same engine — no regulation team required.

What you get

Four capabilities. One key.

Verified regulation corpus
Verified law

The regulation, verbatim — and cited.

Query the exact controlling text of 49 CFR (and growing state coverage). Every response ties back to the section it came from, refreshed as the eCFR changes. No hallucinated rules, no stale citations.

Grounded compliance agents
Grounded agents

200+ compliance agents, on tap.

Call the same specialist agents that power X3 HazMat, CSA, HOS, DataQ, Drug & Alcohol and more — each grounded in the verified corpus and scoped to a real compliance job. Ask a question, get a cited, decision-support answer.

Embed X3 into your product
Live carrier data

Pull a carrier's safety picture by USDOT.

One call returns a carrier's authority, safety-rating factors, and inspection signals — perfect for TMS, insurers, brokers, and factoring platforms that need to vet carriers or embed compliance intelligence without building it themselves.

FAQ

Questions

Is this the same engine behind X3 products?

Yes. X3 HazMat, CSA, HOS, DataQ and the rest all call this engine. X3 API opens it to your product.

How is it grounded?

Answers are tied to the verified, current CFR text and a curated 67k-document corpus, with citations. It's decision support — always verify against the controlling regulation.

What data can I pull on a carrier?

Authority status, safety-rating factors, and inspection signals by USDOT number — the inputs behind X3's carrier vetting.
