Standard Rail Launches SIDINGS™ API to Power Machine-Readable Rail Service Data
New API helps software, AI tools, and enterprise systems discover and use rail-connected service data in real time
CALGARY, ALBERTA — March 13, 2026 — Standard Rail today announced the launch of the SIDINGS™ API, a new machine-readable interface designed to make rail-connected service data easier to access, use, and integrate across the supply chain.
The SIDINGS API structures industry data in a way that makes it significantly easier for software, AI tools, and enterprise systems to identify relevant facilities, services, and routing-related options in real time. The launch marks an important step forward in how rail-served services can be discovered, understood, and utilized by both individual users and organizations.
"SIDINGS™ is about making rail-connected services easier to find, easier to understand, and easier to use," said Robert Skarzynski. "By structuring this data for machine-readable access, we are creating a foundation that allows people to use it directly, use it with AI, and integrate it into their own internal tools and workflows."
The SIDINGS API enables users to
- access structured, real-time service data in a machine-readable format
- use that data in their own tools, workflows, and digital processes
- support AI-assisted discovery and decision-making
- integrate live service information into enterprise systems and applications
For shippers, this means faster access to structured service data that can support better decisions and more efficient workflows. For facilities, it means stronger discoverability in an environment increasingly shaped by both human users and machine-based systems.
The launch of the SIDINGS API is the first step in a broader API and data infrastructure Standard Rail is building to support smarter search, deeper integrations, and more intelligent use of rail-connected services across the industry.
As logistics, procurement, and supply chain systems continue to evolve, structured real-time access to rail service data will become increasingly important. Standard Rail believes the SIDINGS API represents an early foundation for how these services will be used in the future.
