fa = FreightAPIs(os.environ["FREIGHTAPIS_KEY"])

# Carrier locations
ga = fa.carrier_by_state_or_zip("estes", state="GA")
search = fa.carrier_search("saia", "atlanta")
cov = fa.carrier_coverage("abf", state="AR")
batch = fa.carrier_batch("usps", {"states": ["NY", "NJ"]})

# Seaports
cn = fa.ports_by_country("CN")
sh = fa.port("CNSHA")
near = fa.ports_nearby(31.2, 121.5, radius=200)
cosco = fa.ports_by_company("COSCO")

# NMFC classification (Pro plan)
cls = fa.nmfc_search("furniture")
art = fa.article("63321")
dens = fa.density({
    "dimensionType": "Inch", "weightType": "Pound", "resultUnitType": "PoundsPerCubicFeet",
    "unitDimensions": [{"HandlingUnitCount": 1, "length": 48, "width": 40, "height": 48, "handlingUnitWeight": 500}],
