Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get completed packets” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "mycarrierpackets.com/get_completed_packets",
    "input": {
      "from_date": "2026-11-11",
      "to_date": "2026-11-12"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "packets": [
      {
        "legal_name": "Northwind Freight LLC",
        "dba_name": "Northwind Express",
        "dot_number": "3912447",
        "mc_number": "MC1388205",
        "completed_at": "2026-11-11T15:42:00Z"
      },
      {
        "legal_name": "Globex Transport Inc",
        "dba_name": null,
        "dot_number": "2876031",
        "mc_number": "MC1004519",
        "completed_at": "2026-11-12T09:08:00Z"
      }
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Signing in to MyCarrierPortal

MyCarrierPortal signs you in at mycarrierpackets.com with your account and password, and carriers create a username and password after completing a packet. With Fous you sign in once through MyCarrierPortal's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs, and your code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Only invited carriers can complete a packet
A carrier joins by answering the Invite email you send, which can carry documents such as your broker/carrier agreement. A packet invitation is the first step of any onboarding you automate.
Edits do not reach completed packets
When you change your profile questions or documents, carriers who already completed your packet need a new invite to complete it again.
The completion email goes to the main office
When a packet is complete, MyCarrierPortal emails you, the person who completed it and the carrier's main office as listed with the FMCSA.
Completed packets are meant to be polled
The API's completed packets call takes a from and to date, with polling every 5 to 15 minutes suggested. The carrier changes call returns 250 rows a page by default, at most 500.
