How to connect to UPS tracking site via API

[adnan2234]

Hello,

We have tracking numbers for carriers and would like to track them on their site (UPS/Fedex). I'm trying to connect to UPS tracking site and use tracking numbers in our system. Can someone point me to the right direction for this task?

Regards,

Adnan.

Hey @adnan2234, it looks like this is absolutely possible according to the API info offered on the UPS site: https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit/downloadresource?loc=en_GB

Unfortunately, you need to log in in order to access the documentation and I don't currently have an account. However, if you find the tracking documentation, it should tell you the base URL, as well as the endpoint(s) and parameter(s) you need to use in order to pull the information you need from the API.

@DataNath Thank you for the quick reply. I was able to download the tracking documentation. I do have the user id and password. However, I'm having difficulty on how to parse headers to the Alteryx flow. I'm unable to bring in Request and Response ZPath tables in the flow (attached screenshot).

Were you able to ever get the UPS API to work in Alteryx?

No.
