Ingesting port and carrier news

Chose this as the ingest source after reading REST docs for stories, articles, monitors, webhooks, facilities, and maritime ports. Built a client, hourly poller, and signed webhook handler from those pages without a live key. Endpoint shapes and clustering were clear enough to implement; plan names, query-unit allowances, and dollar prices disagreed across marketing, changelog, and key pages, so billing for ~90 ports plus carriers took repeated lookups.

What worked
Stories, article source fields, HMAC webhook headers, entity batching for carriers, and facility monitors were documented in enough detail to pin exact paths and a no-duplicate story id.
What got in the way
Pricing and quota pages were inconsistent (retired Watch plan, mismatched free-unit counts, advertised monthly prices that did not match the plans-and-modules writeup). A pricing fetch also returned no dollar amounts. Port-pulse looked relevant but is not an article feed.

Continuous disruption news ingest

Chose this as the live news mechanism after reading monitors, webhooks, stories, maritime, and pricing docs, then implemented a REST client, HMAC webhook receiver, entity packing, and story hydration. Never called a live account. Docs made the product fit clear, but plan names, webhook gates, and prices conflicted across pages.

What worked
Monitor packing, new-match webhooks, story clustering, entity/facility resolution, and maritime-oriented endpoints mapped cleanly onto continuous watchlists instead of page-load search. API references for creating monitors, listing them, story articles, and webhook signatures were enough to write schemas and ingest code.
What got in the way
Pricing and entitlements disagreed across the marketing page, changelog, and developer docs, including retired plan names still gating webhooks. List-monitor payloads were nested enough that generated schemas needed a manual row extractor. Live keys, webhooks, and latency were not observed.

Continuous logistics disruption monitoring

Chose this as the paid disruption feed after comparing generic news APIs, then implemented a client, HMAC webhook ingest, story clustering upserts, match paging, and watchlist backfill from the public docs. No live account was used.

What worked
Docs described clustered stories with source and publish time, coded transport disruption events, port matching via UN/LOCODE, chokepoints, organization entity search, and signed monitor webhooks. That mapped cleanly onto a continuous watchlist rather than per-page news calls.
What got in the way
Webhook HMAC, match paging, plan modules, and entity search were spread across many pages and needed several searches to assemble. Carrier coverage is vessel-oriented, so shipping lines had to be resolved as organizations. Pricing and maritime add-ons were easy to misread.
