MsOptimistic Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hi all, I have always wondered how this can be done: We buy something on a shopping site, and we get the tracking number. Once we click on the tracking number, it takes you to the UPS site and shows you the most updated tracking info. What has been applied for this trick? I'd love to learn. Thank you in advance!

justsomeguy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 They have an account with UPS and use their API to create shipments and get the tracking numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niche Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 If you want to do that, all you need is the latitude and longitude for two locations and VIOLA! You can get that from google and it's free below a certain activity level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
