I finally got the UPS tracking API to work. Or atleast I think I do. It is giving me a 'invalid tracking number' response. My problem right now is I have no packages to track. Does anyone know of any resources that allow me to test fake orders from UPS, or anything that will give a response ? Thanks
I am using the UPS Tracking Developers Kit and need package resposnes.
You can use production tracking numbers on the UPS test environment. Moreover, on the Appendix H of the Tracking Web Service Developers Guide (December 31, 2012), you can find a list of tracking numbers that can be useful if you want see tracking numbers with different set of information like proof of delivery.
Best!
Here's an update in case someone comes across this as I did.
The below data is taken from the Tracking Web Service Developer Guide (January 9, 2017).
You should be able to access it from the UPS Developer Kit download page. There's a section called Download the API with a link to download Tracking.zip. The developer guide is located at Tracking.zip\Tracking\Developers Guide\Tracking Web Service Developer Guide.pdf The table is located on page 7.
