Frequently Asked Questions

What limitations do businesses face with publicly available UPS APIs?

Public UPS APIs provide data access with these limitations:

• Rate limits: Publicly available APIs generally limit the number of requests you can make within a period (per second, minute, hour, or day) to prevent system abuse and ensure fair resource distribution.
• Access controls: Most public APIs limit access to features, data, or endpoints based on user tiers. Full functionality is limited to paid users, with the top-tier features (like advanced UPS API tracking) reserved for a small circle of shipping partners like Shipium.
• Performance constraints: Public API users often experience slower response times and less reliable service than paid tiers, especially during peak usage. They may also face limitations with staggered data and scalability options.

Why should I work with a UPS Ready® Program certified partner?

Working with a UPS Ready® certified partner offers your shipping operations these advantages:

• Reliability: UPS’s commercial teams validate certified partners, ensuring their technology meets high standards for performance.
• Quality assurance: UPS Ready® partners must demonstrate consistent value and technical excellence.
• Integration expertise: Partners are deeply familiar with UPS systems and requirements, having completed extensive testing and authorization processes proving their technical capabilities.
