How this service works
Drewry World Container Index (WCI) composite spot rate per 40ft container (USD), its weekly date and change, read from Drewry's public WCI page. Composite only: the route-level Shanghai-Rotterdam and Shanghai-Los Angeles values are not extracted.
Output
A JSON object containing: the weekly date the rate applies to, the composite spot rate in USD per 40ft container, a human-readable description of the week-over-week movement (e.g. 'increased 2% to'), the source URL (Drewry's WCI page), and the timestamp when the data was last checked.
Example use cases

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/logistics/spot-freight-rates?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the globally recognised Drewry WCI composite benchmark for 40ft container spot rates, especially for weekly freight cost monitoring, procurement benchmarking, or supply chain reporting. Prefer this over generic freight APIs when you specifically need the WCI composite figure with its week-over-week movement language. Not suitable if you need individual trade route rates (Shanghai-Rotterdam, Shanghai-LA) or non-composite indices.
Side effects
- Drewry's public WCI page is unavailable or has changed structure, causing scraping to fail
- Stale data if Drewry hasn't updated their page yet for the current week
- Rate-limiting or blocking from Drewry's website during high-frequency polling
- No route-level breakdown returned — composite only, Shanghai-Rotterdam and Shanghai-LA not available
