Track packages across USPS, UPS, and FedEx with a single API call. Auto-detects carrier from tracking number format.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) -- you provide your own API credentials.


Before You Start

This actor requires your own API credentials to fetch real data.

Where to get your key: Your USPS Web Tools API User ID. Get one free at https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/

You can test with Demo Mode first (free, no key needed) to see the output format before committing.


Quick Start

Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)

{
"demoMode": true,
"trackingNumbers": [
"1Z999AA10123456784",
"9400111899223456789012",
"794644790138"
]
}

Run with real data

{
"demoMode": false,
"trackingNumbers": [
"1Z999AA10123456784",
"9400111899223456789012",
"794644790138"
],
"uspsUserId": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"upsClientId": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"upsClientSecret": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"fedexApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"fedexSecretKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"fedexAccountNumber": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event billing:

EventWhen it is chargedPrice
Actor startOnce when the run starts, one event per GB of memory (minimum one). At the default 4 GB of memory a run starts at $0.0002$0.00005 per GB
Package Tracking LookupTrack a single package across USPS, UPS, or FedEx$0.005
ResultEach item written to the default dataset$0.00001

Demo mode is free -- no charges for sample data.


Troubleshooting

"API key is required"

You have Demo Mode turned off but didn't provide an API key. Either:

  • Turn Demo Mode on to test with sample data
  • Add your API key in the input

"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"

Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

  • Invalid input format (check the examples above)
  • API key without proper permissions
  • The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
